Photohunt - Messy

I don't know how those parents bring up their kids or what their schools teach. Even some adults, some are parents of my students, who had stayed with me aren't any better. I see red whenever they left their mess for me to clear.My house is not a hotel. I would expect people to have the decency and consideration that their host family lives in it. I would often find food scraps, food wrappers and unfinished beverages left in my wardrobe or under the beds..... I even found peanut shells and empty snack bags under the mattresses or stuffed into the folds of my sofa!We would have to spend days cleaning and scrubbing and disinfecting. There would be ants and cockroaches. We don't eat in our bedrooms. I'm surprised other people do. What's a dining room for?Below are some pictures of messy bedrooms of girls, can you imagine how the boys' rooms look like?Mess y bedroo...
