Till what age is it all right to have a messy room?

  • I'm not sure that "right" and the implied "wrong" are appropriate. 

    On one occasion, during a public transport strike, I was given a company car so that I could get to work next day. The proviso was that I had to pick up my boss on the way in. No problem. He was a nice guy. Intelligent, well dressed, interesting, and able to control the office with a light touch. He's the sort of boss I'd wish for all my friends to have. He invited me in for a coffee and I was stunned at the mess. It was everywhere.

    There's no right age to stop being messy. Some people are tidy, some are not. If you have a teenager you may be in for a long haul.

    I was a messy teen and grew into a messy adult. So my answer is any age is fine.

  • This isn't a mess, it's organized chaos.  I know where everything is and thrive in like this. It sure does look like hell though.

    If you live alone, own your home, and are not in violation of health and safety ordinances,  forever.  Who would care?  And who would visit you?  Living in a dirty and untidy environment can be associated with mental illness and depression  and also reflects a lack of self respect, the latter which often manifests itself in extreme laziness.  Teens are exempt from these things because they do often go through a period  where sloppy is (what they believe to be) the new cool.  They learn it isn't either from their parents or on their own.
