Good Housekeeping
I think most American teenagers and young adults would prefer
not
to live with roaches. It's just harder for them to learn and keep the Fundamental Rule of Housekeeping:
Cover your food garbage
.
There has never been a roach problem in the 5+ years I've been living in this 4-flat. But now that two teenage girls and their single dad moved into one of the downstairs apartments I'm afraid that's going to change. Recently they've taken to sweeping the kitchen floor out onto the landing on the back stairs. Although they're not my kids, I'm willing to take the responsibility of sweeping up and getting rid of the cheetos, french fries, etc. But it means that they're not covering their garbage.
I'm not going to confront them - directly - over this issue. Instead, I'm going to tell them that I'm talking about them publically online. Then I'm going to direct them to this journal. There seem to be an awful lot of teenagers posting on this site. Maybe you can give my neighbors some good advice.
