Leave them there. That is disgusting. They were left there purposely to bother you. Maybe her father can ask her why she is doing this. She should clean her own room. It is her responsibility.

Yes, at 17 years old, why isn't she cleaning her own room? That's really disgusting!! Close the door and leave it. Not your problem.

My sd is with us for summer school. She has been here for 4 weeks straight so far. And her father has stepped up by having her clean her room on at least a every 3 days. Although he isn't exactly checking the entire room so I would hate to know what is growing in her closet. BUT>........I have not cleaned her room once. I have restrained myself and allowed them to deal with it. I do go in and retrieve the wet towels that are left on the floor or stuffed in the closet because I do not want them to get moldy or stock pilled in her room as she never cleans her laundry. But I am proud of myself for not cleaning her room not even once.
I am sure after she leaves to her mothers after summer school I will clean her room completely because I can not handle not knowing what is growing and creeping into the rest of our home.
