Dear Mark:
I’m a new parent to your site. I need assistance and want to ensure I’m not being unreasonable with my son. Please advise me.
He wants to throw his clean clothes (that he did agree to wash and dry) on the floor in his closet rather than hang them up. I feel they should be hung up or put into drawers. I don’t even care if he folds then. He says he’ll just throw them on the floor.
Am I being unreasonable? Should I just provide another “bin”, like his dirty clothes bin, and let him throw his clean clothes in there? I don’t want to be too demanding; it is his space and his clothes.
Please advise. Thanks.
K.

Hi K.,
Great question. This falls into the "pick-your-battles-carefully" category. I'm sure you have bigger fish to fry than worrying about clothes on the floor.
Are you being unreasonable? Not really. Is it a battle you should fight. No way! Get a clean clothes bin.
