Living w/ slobs

yeah its normal but it also sounds like you dotn own the house, so honey, when you get your own place then you get to set the rules, ok?

Hey, cud u plz mail me the link to ur marijuana blog..?

I'm with freethinkerguy. Get yourself some paper plates, plastic forks so you don't have to clean those. Keep them in your room and put a lock on your door. They may come looking for a clean plate. But you really need to get out if there. For your sanity.

Wow, Truebie, that sounds very similar to my situation. Lucky for me though, the couple and their children moved out. But I'm still living in the house with my mother-in-Law and my fiance and it seems like she wants me to take care of her now. She is disabled but it's because she's obese. She has medical problems, but they stem from her obesity. She is always asking me to do some really effed up things, things that I will not go into detail in on here. But it is putting a strain on my relationship with my fiance as well. He is gone most of the time working (I work from my computer) so he doesn't see much of what I see and although I tell him, he doesn't understand because he doesn't experience it. I'm at my wits end and I totally know how you feel! I wish I could help...we should be roommates! LOL.

Im going through the same thing right now and I am about to lose my flippin mind. Me, whos pregnant, my husband, and my one year old moved in last year with 3 adults and 8 kids temporarily. 2of the adults with their 2 kids decided to up and move, leaving us pretty much obligated to stay because the person couldnt afford it on their own. 7 months later I am about to lose it!!! These kids have no discipline, rules, or guidance. They are constantly yelled at, which does no good and I am tired of waking up at 5:30 am to yelling at screaming. Every room in the house is a discgusting mess! The dishes wont get done unless I do them, dog poop is left on the living room floor for days, and dirty diapers from children who are not potty trained, who are 4 and 8 are left on the bathroom floor!!!!! It straight up smells like poop everywhere!! I can't stand it anymore, and the realtionship between my husband and I have suffered dramatically. I am ready to move, but don't want to put the person in a situation to where they will become homeless or something. I also don't want my daughter to pick up on the kids bad behavior. They are so lazy and will leave their dirty dishes and gum on the couch, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh! My dad does the same thing. He will cook something and then leave all the dishes and expect me to do them the next day because I have nothing to do. Pisses me off.

They aren't going to change. Sloppy people never do.

So what can you do ... you can do as others have suggested and leave.

You can also find something that annoys the hell of them and passive aggressively do that.

You could also just take the dishes off of the counter and throw them in the trash. They will wonder after awhile what happened and you can play dumb. Then replace the regular plates with paper plates ... no washing = no mesh = no insanity.

You could also remove the toilet seat when they're not their and throw that away too. Apparently, they don't know how to use a toilet properly, so fuck 'em. Then play dumb.

Punish each infraction with disposal of the item the offense was created with. Then play dumb about. Eventually, you will have thrown away enough stuff that their house starts appearing clean.

Omg, I would be so frustrated!!

Sounds like your cleaning standards are a bit too high for the people you are living with. On the other hand, you could try not cleaning at all for like 1 week, eventually they will get annoyed at the mess and will clean. Or try to introduce a cleaning scedual.

I live with a few "roomies", 2 guys 1 girl and the girl tends to complain, whilst the guys don't really do much cleaning because they don't care that much.

SO normal. It's terrible to live with slobs and feel like you're the only one cleaning up everyone's mess. And no matter what you do they'll probably never change, so I'd move if I were you, for the sake of your sanity.

it seems you need extreme measures. you could not let them out of the house until they do, set some rules and be strict about it, soon itll be ez for them like breathing. it will take time so bear with them
