Well apparently my dad will be complaining about me today! Most mornings I tend to stay in my room until about 9 unless I have a ton of house work to do, or other things I want to get done, and just spend a little time to myself. Since I haven’t had much time to do a few things getting the desktop set up for my son, I got up early so I could get what I didn’t get done around the house done today and not worry about it over the weekend. Ha! My dad OMG I could just spit nails. Eating again with NO plate in the living room. I don’t flipping understand this at all. When hubby is home he doesn’t dare do this. Its like WTF I am dog meat or something. I said to him DAD come on you didn’t even use a paper towel on your lap, every day I have to take the folded sheet off your chair, take outside to shake it off, come on! He doesn’t see crumbs. His reply? His flipping reply.. “OH WELL”. OMG!!! I give up. Screw it. Why bother keeping the house clean and tidy for what? What is the point? I am tired of cleaning up spilled beverages, chili he gets on the carpet by dripping and having to pick and scrub. Just flat out tired of it. I am tired of my kids complaining to me about it, what to get me all upset? I am tired of it.
Sick of it. Growing up rules were we ate in the kitchen. Period. Why can’t he have the same respect for our house he demanded from us growing up? I just don’t get it. AT all. I can’t listen to music he just comes home and turns the flipping TV on. Is this NOT my house? He has a TV in his room, can’t he watch TV in there during the day? Honestly? I am tired, sick and tired. I am going to start making some calls I think, and see what I can do about getting him on help for housing list and find him a place to stay. I can’t take it anymore. I just can’t.
read your blog and i say it sounds like you should finally set your mind up and go on strike that will be the hardest thing for you but then when they see you are not going to keep cleaning up after them all the time they might realize all you do every day so i say i’m behind you 100% and now is as good a time as any to STRIKE,STRIKE STRIKE!!!i betcha it just might work.however you will just have to talk yourself out of wanting to clean up each and every crumb,spill etc in the process but i think you can do this
Looks to me your dad is taking advantage of you & running with it big time. I think he figures he can do whatever he wants & will get away with it cause your his daughter & just won’t say much & he thinks you would never make him live elsewhere. I know he has health problems & such but this is just ridiculous what he keeps on doing. He has no respect for you whatsoever. I know you love your dad dearly but Susan you just cannot keep this up. This is playing a major role on your health pysically & emotionally. You need to just lay the law down & if someone has a problem with it or gets mad then that is there problem to deal with. I would tell him straight out that he can go by the rules of your house or if he cannot do that, then he is gonna have to live somewhere else.
There is only so much a person can take & I think you have went above & beyond with taking it.
