In today's Ask Amy, a reader says she is appalled by what she's seen at her son's college: 'Beds are not made, clothes are strewn everywhere, dirty dishes are left in the sink, plates and cups are left everywhere.'
Dear Amy: My son has just started his junior year of college. I never thought he was the neatest person.AdvertisementI am appalled by what I have seen: Beds are not made, clothes are strewn everywhere, dirty dishes are left in the sink, plates and cups are left everywhere, the table is not wiped clean, multiple pairs of shoes in the bathroom, and counter space all cluttered with everyone’s personal items, etc.
It’s a shared space – you’re not the only one who uses the bathroom or stores food in the refrigerator or needs to wash dishes in the kitchen sink. Amy, as students are returning back to campus, can you put together an Adulting Checklist on basic guidelines to being a good roommate/suitemate – such as sharing the cleaning responsibilities and sharing space?Dear Concerned: Adulting Lesson Number One: Never let your mom see your dorm room.
Today’s college students often enter shared living quarters never having shared a bedroom or bathroom. They’ve never done their own laundry, washed a dish, paid a bill, written a thank you note, or had to clean up after themselves or others.The whole idea of preparing an “adulting checklist” is somewhat infantilizing. These lessons – on taking care of oneself and contributing to the care of the group, should start with children at around age four.
