Omg. My 11 year old is super Lazy. I can't believe that by now he doesn't know how to clean his room. I have literally shown him what to do every week since he was 4 and he still can not clean his room with out being hovered over. I mean I understood when he was ages 4-6 but even by age 6 he should have gotten it. I mean every week for 7 years? It's a routine by now and he still can't do it.
Could this be pure lazyness or is something to be genuinely concerned about?

@beautifulmomof4 My son will be 5 in June and cleans his room when asked. If he takes his toys out he knows he has to put them all back. When he wakes up he makes his bed and also helps me clean (He offers) Lol! I don't make him do any of my cleaning but he's used to the mindset that the house needs to be to a high standard and I think if it isn't he takes notice and helps me because I've taught him since he could comprehend that cleanliness is very important and if it isn't maintained he will have privileges taken, just the same way as when tasks are completed he gets rewarded. He understands at this age. Gotta set them up early for success! Lord knows my husband could have benefited from the same thing growing up but his mom never made him do anything.
Aiden has his own set of chores age appropriate for an 11 year old boy and it's like they don't even matter to him.
My 4 year old can clean her room, no problems too, we just started her on chores and responsibilities, She has to pick up her toys, make her bed, put her dirties in the hamper, help with the dishes(just silverware and pots n pans, no knives), and takes the recycle out, everyday. Aiden on the other hand. OMG. I wish my parents had never gotten the game systems, tablet, he got his own tv one year for Christmas and birthdays. He has literally become a hermit and if it weren't for school he wouldn't ever leave his room!
I think it's a boy thing, my brother would act like he was broken 😂 @beautifulmomof4 yay my future! 😑
My step son is the same way it drives me nuts all he cares about is video games
i think its just lazyness in my opinion. my neices and nephews all know how to clean their room and they are 3,4,5
@simplyshantell that's fantastic. Ive been trying to get my 11 year old to do that since he was 4, my 4 year old daughter and 19 month old son have no problems do their part and also offer to help me do my part but my 11 year old. Forget it. I can't get him to do anything.
