The Ultimate Bathroom Cleaning Checklist for Teens

Being the parent of a teenager is HARD. Actually, being a parent at all is hard – but time passes and each new phase blurs the old one and presents us with a new difficulty level. Some teens are fairly easy – they seem to have been born with their own manual, knowing how to clean and when its okay to sass back. Others seem blissfully unaware of the world around them. We love them anyway but might lose our minds if we don’t throw in some humor now and again.

Enter the bathroom cleaning checklist made especially for snarky and sassy teens who love to roll their eyes. Tired of repeating yourself? Well if they actually follow the list, you shouldn’t have to. You can find a printable version of the checklist at the bottom of this post. Keep an eye out for future snarky teenager checklists, but for now, comment below on how we can improve this list or what kind of list you’d like to see!
