[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 298171"] So glad you have read The Bipolar Child. I called it "my bible" years ago. It was so accurate, it was almost "creepy." Our daughter's room was always so messy and dirty, at times it was frightening. She has moved out and this is still a problem in her apt. ...only worse...since I refuse to help clean it. Sometimes we resort to making "deals" with her. This is something I don't do often...but have done now and again. I will give her $10 if she cleans her apartment perfectly by a certain time. I will tell her all the things that need to be done...and it will include everything. Mopping, dusting, scrubbing, changing sheets, etc. If it is not perfect, she doesn't get the money. If it is close to perfect and she can fix it within a few minutes of me being there, I will still give her the money...but she better take care of it with-i five minutes. It is pathetic...but "it is what it is" and I don't want her to risk her health by living in extreme filth. [/QUOTE]
