DS is 9

He will clean up downstairs when I ask but he huffs and puffs about keeping his room clean. In particular DH hates it when DS leaves all of his dresser drawers open.

I am starting to think this isn't a hill I want to die on. I am much more concerned with the living areas being orderly.

My thought was it's his room - tell him to keep the door closed. He is not allowed to eat or drink in there so this is solely an issue of open drawers and clothes and toys on the floor.

DH disagrees and says its important to learn to be tidy.

Thoughts?
