I was feeling resentful for how he seems to just drop things wherever

Yo, I feel this a ton. I can never get him to clean consistently, cause he’ll get distracted by… well, basically anything. We had success with scheduling “clean up time” 1 hour before bedtime, for a while, but even we could never get it to stick. Best I’ve learned to do is remember it’s not malicious, “focus” is just something he doesn’t have mastered, yet. I’ll also point out, he’s gotten a LOT better in the past couple years. Hell, he voluntarily wanted to clean his room tonight, after having his friend over all day, he said they left the room a mess.

I’m not really sure that being open source here means much of anything, but an SO alternative definitely sounds good. Thanks for the tip.
