A lesson learned, A lesson to be taught

First off, I do sincerely thank you for taking myself and my significant other in when we were on our last legs, really, I do. I don’t think I can ever 100% express that towards you.

But the past four (almost five) months with your family would require you to express an additional 2000% towards her and I. Your three filthy little snot children and your pill addicted wife owe us so much.

It started off with subtle things, asking for us to pick up around the house (which we always did, it was the three teenagers who left the mess) as a show of "gratitude" towards your household, understandable.

Mind you, it remained understandable for only half a month more. Are you really so egoist in the ways you run your family that you believe all five of you can do NO WRONG whatsoever? Any mistakes which your three teenagers consistently did, you passed off onto us. Open your eyes, we’re both adults, which is a hundred steps above whatever the fuck you and your kids are.

This whole Summer the three of them did absolutely nothing. On top of cleaning the whole house day to day… We both found good jobs, a car for ourselves, and an apartment in that time. The most your kids did involve a variety of the following;

Having mental breakdowns about: school, work, chores, responsibility

Spending money on: fast food, clothes, concert tickets, jewelry, etc. and then crying about not having money to pay your car payments. Remember that time your eldest’s tires shot on the highway? She couldn’t pay for it, at all. You bailed her out.

Eating, eating, more eating and no cleaning whatsoever. Have you ever smelled that faint moldy stench in the air? It’s from your sink, and all the leftover food and drink your three perfect, godsend children leave in it. Just to let you in on the real secret, they leave nearly full soda cans and half eaten food under their beds, so the bacteria and mold thank you for giving them a phenomenal environment to thrive in.

Complaining about: our rare occurances of frustration (to pay bills on time, to find work, to find a car), our "introvert" tendencies, etc.

Hey listen, neither of us want to be involved in your family moments. We’re respectful enough to step aside or leave when you all have that time in mind, but to get angry or stressed about us not being there for it? We’re guests and we like it that way. We’re not going to cry on your bed and spill our life issues with you like your unstable teenagers.

Maybe if you gave them better examples to live by, and showed a little disciplinary ethic towards them they’d handle situations better. They need to wake up and realize high school isn’t shit. You’re not the big cheese because you’re in AP classes, nobody is going to treat you like a prince or princess because of your shoddy theatre/play organizing. You don’t even act or dance in them, you just find people that do and tell them to.

None of you are creative. Quoting your professor’s debates last week (and generally knowing nothing about the context) in class doesn’t mean you’re uber evolved and enlightened above everyone else. All the hot glueing in the world doesn’t make you unique. Maybe if you could tell Mommy to take you off her anxiety medications ( life is so stressful when you move from a 250,000$ house to a 120,000$ one and sit in a cubicle all day ) you could focus on actually CRAFTING something beautiful instead of stapling some acrylic plastic beads and ribbons together and calling the whole family to gloat about your amazing "creations"

Pull your head out of eachother’s asses, for Odin’s sake. All these little pitiful, pathetic, repetitive tendencies you three do daily just get worse by you enabling them even more. As the parents you should put your foot down, but often you do the same. You leave a mess, sit around sipping wine on your nasty stained couch, and think back on the times when "life was good" or what say you.

Even your three dogs carry over the same behaviour. They lay on clean laundry (that we always wash, dry and fold for you – despite your three kids going through them and leaving them on the floor just to find a sock or a shirt), shit and puke on your carpet, and act more like a pest rather a pet.

I do feel a bit bad for them though, the least you could do is bathe them. They’ve had that mildew-y musky smell of dog ass for a good two months now. Maybe you’re used to it but it is just plain foul. Wake up.

There is so much more that needs to be said about you and the "family" but I’ve already used this much energy to get out the basics. I’ve only scratched the surface but that’s all I need for right now. Besides, in two days you can kiss your clean house goodbye. And our asses. KISS. OUR. ASSES. Because all the lip locking in the world couldn’t get us to forgive this awful experience.

my roommate contributed nothing to the room (furniture or appliance wise), never cleans up, never does any chores and always brings her loud rude friends over and lets them break my belongings. She refuses to control her guests. she doesnt remember to lock the door. she buys vegetables she doesnt eat and lets them rot in the fridge for weeks until i clean them up. she is best friends with my ex and constantly flirts with him in front of me. her side of the room is unlivable. you can not see the floor under all the garbage and laundry and it makes the room smell. i think it is a health hazard. she is convinced that she is super indie and a hipster. she listens to her hipster music so loud the whole dorm can hear it. she hates on catholics, conformity, lady gaga and ANYTHING else she can think of. in our "conversations" she only ever talks about herelf, her clothes and her love life. she NEVER stops talking either. she thinks that she is a great actor, singer and writer. she isnt. she is a good liar apparently if she can convince herself that her singing is anywhere near good. if i ask her to be quieter she gets mad. i cant convince her to clean or at least help out a little. i feel like i am running a daycare at 19! i can barely handle her and school. she needs to GROW UP and GET OVER herself soon.

He says he moved out of his mom and dads to move in with his new parents

Last year my girlfriend and I decided to move in with a guy from work. It seemed fine the bills were all going to be split up and everyone was going to contribute. My girlfriend and I brought basically the whole living room (tv, dinner table, coffee tables, entertainment center, lamps, couches, xbox, router, everything) and he spends all of his time in the living room. He leaves his mcdonalds bags, pizza boxes, clothes, EVERYTHING in the living room, he constantly plays my xbox and honestly the only time he spends in his room is sleeping, or sleeping with girls he brings over. He will make food and not clean up the counters when he is done. and when we buy food he eats the majority of it within like 2 days. So its hard to go shopping with him because we never have food. He has maybe cleaned the bathroom like twice since we moved in (Aug 2009) We have a bathroom in our room so we only use that bathroom to shower, his toilet is caked in yellow, and the garbage is overflowing with toilet paper (he likes to blow his nose with toilet paper so it goes really fast) and he will spit loogies in the sink and not rinse them down so it leaves crusty brown streaks into the drain, kinda gross. He didnt have toilet paper in his bathroom for 2 weeks at least and in those 2 weeks, instead of buying toilet paper, he used all of our napkins and 3 rolls of paper towel. He is constantly bringing over shady friends ( oh and by the way one day after he took his friend home for being over for a couple days we were all at work and we were robbed) who we have no trust in. He thinks we treat him like a child because we are constantly nagging him, but its only cuz he doesnt do anything around the house!!! I have tried having a talk with him but it doesnt work, he wont tell us when the electricity bill is due which is frustrating cuz i like things paid on time, we have had to use our rent grace period multiple times because he didnt have the money. I am very concerned about safety so i put a lock on my bedroom door and he used a credit card to get into my room to get things that he needed. Its called invasion of privacy people! We just bought a flat screen tv for our bedroom with our tax money and he was complaining to people at work saying that we shouldnt hoard it in our room and put it in the living room for everyone. Which is bs. He says that we are old people because we don’t wanna party anymore, the only reason is cuz school started back up again and its hard to party when you are either at work or school or studying, sorry. My girlfriend and him got into a facebook fight and he still thinks he is right. One of his statuses was “dont you hate it when you move out of your moms and dads to move in with your new parents” he is immature, my girlfriend told him to grow up and he said, “growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional” HE IS 20!!!! We still got 5 months with this lease and then we are out, i doubt we will ever get a roommate again, this was the worst experience of my life.
