Clothes On The Floor

As I sit at the computer right now, I'm seething.

I truly do not understand why it is so difficult to take your dirty clothes (as you take them off) and put them down the laundry chute that is six steps away from your room. All three of my kids have inherited my wife's comfort level with living in a mess.

I just argued with my son who has his entire floor covered with clothes. I asked him what these clothes were and why they were on the floor and he rather indignantly replied that they're supposed to be on the floor because they're dirty. I do not get it. When I take any article of clothing off, I hold them in my hands or have them nearby in order to drop them down the laundry chute. It is not a difficult task. More importantly, I do not understand how his room can even get to that stage of messiness. I mean, surely when these kids walk into their rooms and see the floor covered with clothes, some rational thoughts go through their heads wondering why the entire floor is covered with clothes. I'm not talking about one or two items. But, can you explain to me how you can walk into a room where the floor is covered with dirty clothes (again and again and again) and not even notice that they need to be disposed off appropriately (with the relatively effortless act of flinging them down a laundry chute)?

There must be some research into this ...

I do not care what you think, but what happened to this blog? Dormant for three weeks?!? Did you run out of things for us to not care about?
