Dear Carol
Share a room with a sloppy sibling? Here's how to get them to stop being messy...
Dear Slobby Sister,
Your sister’s mess probably isn’t due to hostility or laziness. More likely, it’s absentmindedness and a reflection of different styles and standards. Neat people and slobby people really are wired differently.
What to do? Instead of nagging, which isn’t working anyway, break the pattern and praise your sister the next time she does even a little picking up. And, ask your parents if they would consider giving your sister an allowance only after she does some straightening.
We want to hear from you! Go here to submit questions to Carol about every sticky sitch life throws at you.
