Dear Family- I have had it with you. My mother and my sister are the biggest slobs ever. I am tired of cleaning up after your messes your not my kids your my mother and my sister.
Here’s an example. I wash all the dishes in our house put them away scrub out the sink vacumn the floor wipe the counters and clean out the fridge of old expired food. Fast forward ten minutes later. My mother loves to dump her tea bags in the sink instead of the compost. Of course I had just shined up the sink and of course that happens. second day I wake up to find a dirty frying pan dishes all over the main floor of our house and dirty counters again and of course nobody emptyed the dishwasher. fast forward to lunch- sister and boyfriend make soup leave dirty pot wrapper and bowls scattered about the kitchen. Fast forward to supper meanwhile none of these things have been attended too. I find a dirty baking pan three plates of food with left overs sitting on the counter- sis mom and sis bf are too lazy to scrape them into the compost container so they sit there. So I end up cleaning up the mess for another day in a row by myself. Say anything about it to sis and she gets defensive screams like a 8 year old She’s 18 years old and tells me I’m a slob for having a stray sock or a beer can in my room. then goes to her room slams the door and screams about some deleted resume from her computer when she had asked me to reformat it saying it had a virus one month prior so I do it for her then get yelled at about some resume that was on it. Way to be ungrateful sis. Oh and you don’t want to here about my mom lets just say she still gets money from her divorced husband which is suppose to be for us but haha thats never happening. Oh and lets see another pet peeve someone likes to go piss and not flush the toilet! DISGUSTING. I know all of these seem trivial but when they all add up together Its overwhelming- can’t wait to move out

Amen.
Clean boys are very much appreciated, just try not to automatically compare future girlfriends to your current sis and mom situations, or you’ll just come off as a crazy neat freak.
I am also kinda pissed with people not flushing the piss…I can see if we paid for water separately from rent, but we don’t. And they never clean the toilet anyway.

Yes, eventually you can move out, get your own place if you can afford it, and then things can be just as clean as you’d like.
oh yeah….no pun intended 😛
Mr Clean: Take solace in the fact that you are more mature and composed than all of them combined. Endure whatever years you have left until you can head off to college/university and get away from their slob-like ways. As for the small things seeming trivial, I’ve always found that it’s the small thigns piling up, one on top of the other that tends to make people snap. Don’t lose your cool over it. You’ll come out on top, trust me. Once you’re gone the house will fall into total disarray and they’ll wonder how they ever survived without you.
stop doing it for them, and have them live in their own filth for a bit? if you keep cleaning up after them, then they will never learn to appreciate the cleanliness. i know i didnt.
im utterly surprised that this hasnt been mentioned yet.
k: thats all well and good- ive tried it too but seriously, you can’t live like that for long (sanity goes out the window and you get called things “nazi cunt bitch”). Bacteria accumulates and straight up creates a health hazard !!! MOLD is a word these pigs just dont comprehend and no length of living in their own filth will teach them that. there is no win-win ..it is am an immensely frustrating position to be in. I really feel for you. go to university far, far away.
Organize and clean your own bedroom space, get a lock for your door, eat take out and close your eyes when you use the toilet. Maybe even wipe the seat with one of their towels and drop it on the floor. Let the lazy cunts roll around in their own fucking muck. Of course, they won’t do fuck – BECAUSE YOU’RE DOING IT ALL!!!
the worst part is we live in central halifax in a nice renovated house with new hardwood which is ours- we own it I mean have some pride in your home for god sakes
oh they do leave towels on the bathroom floor as well- Can’t afford take out unemployed at the moment unfortunately. Maybe Lysol will hire me as a spokesperson

Better to be tidy than to bask in your own filth whilst the ‘roaches nibble on yer skin.
Heh…start taking before and after pictures and set up a Facebook site devoted to what slobs your relatives are after you move and why you got out of the craphole. Might not be a good idea, but fun to think about it.
…or expose them on You Tube.
Ehh…next thing ya know reality TV crews will be swarming the household. We don’t need another show about family disorganization issues with swarms of children behaving like hellions. That’s enough to make my brain melt.
Alright…I am definitely going to be taking some heat for this one buuut…
Are you paying for the house, food etc.? If the answer is no, you have no rights in complaining how they live. It might be frustrating as hell, I get that, but essentially they are the ones supporting you and you are on their terf, as such, they have the right to live as they please however filthy and disgusting it is. Until you can afford your own way than really you have to put up with it. That doesn’t mean you have to clean up after them, but if it bothers you to the point that you do, well than your going to have to accept the fact that you will be cleaning up after them until you move out, or get a job so that you can at least take TTFN’s suggestion. Sorry for the harshness of this opinion but I was brought up to understand their house their rules.
My father who has divorced my mother pays the bills for our house not my mom my mom doesn’t work at all
well, in that case, have you talked to your dad about it. I’m not sure how divorce bills work, but if any of it is child support your father can switch it over into your name. However if you are over 18, he is not legally obliged to pay you child support. I don’t know talk to him find out what you can do.
