It's always hard to answer some of these IIN questions - what does normal mean - does it mean everyone does it? Does it mean morally acceptable? Etc... I think more people are slobs than most of us realize, and turning 40 doesn't change that. Just take 10 minutes per day to help control your mess in your bedroom, but don't beat yourself up about it and don't let this vicious a-holes bother you.
Spot on. That's the $64M question. Normal doesn't necessarily mean healthy (although it can and often does) or even that a majority of people do it. In my humble opinion, it means that either
1. 5% of more people do it, or
2. Most people don't do it but still believe it's OK.
"Normal" is one of those nebulous words that has a different meaning for everyone. We all came to this site because the term "normal" meant something significant to us personally.
For example, is it normal to put on weight as you get older (for over 18's, of course)? Yes, but it's not healthy.
IIN for a couple over 40 to have a ridiculously messy bedroom?
