Mum slammed after sharing picture of daughter’s messy room

A mum looking for storage solutions has been accused of “spoiling” her child, after sharing a photo of her daughter’s messy room.

A messy kid’s room can be source of major stress for most families.

But when this mum shared a picture of her daughter’s messy room, other mothers turned on her, The Sun reports.

The mum was expecting some advice on storage solutions when she posted pictures to a Facebook page, but instead was met with a barrage of abuse.

The images showed a girl’s bedroom with the floor littered with toys, leaving no carpet visible.

Shelves were also laden with books and toys, with stuffed animals, dolls, shopping carts and play doctor’s kits strewn across the floor.

“Never would have gotten away with this as a child from the ’80s,” one mum said.

“Just downsize a little, teach gratitude and respect for belongings as not all children have this many toys.”

“If you give them too much they expect too much,” commented another.

“Kids are too spoiled these days and expect the world without having to do a thing.”

Another mum said: “They don’t need much. So much clutter is as overwhelming for children as it is for us. When she outgrows something we put it in a box in the shed or donate it.”

“I always rotated the toys,” one chimed in.

“I’d keep out a few things and pack away the rest. Then every now and then when I felt it was time I’d swap toys out. That way it was less mess and toys never got boring.”

The mum spent a day on the room and ended up throwing away or donating most of the toys, as the other mums had suggested.

“We cleaned it up. It took a whole day. Two massive bags to the op shop. My red bin is full to the brim,” she wrote, before hinting that the room would not be tidy for too long.

“She has next to no toys left but that’s what she needs. Christmas is around the corner.”
