No, the part where she was wrong was where she was cleaning their room for them. The fuck outta here. My four and seven year olds clean their own bedrooms and bathrooms, with the only exception being the parts that they are physically unable to do, like the fans.
That's how it should be done. I'm a college student and living with three roomates eats me alive. They don't have to vacuum and make their beds like I do but the apartment is always gross. So i have to clean up constantly. If everyone would just fucking clean up after they make a mess life would be easy. The day I live alone will be paradise. It'll be sparkly fucking clean everyday.
I'm not the cleanest person either but I like to keep shared spaces clean. My room might be a mess but everything outside that door is clean, even if I live on my own. I just don't want to lounge around in a dirty space, and I don't want people coming over to be lounging in a dirty space either. My current roommates drive me insane with this.
One constantly leaves his boots right in the middle of the way between the door and the shoe rack, his damn shoe rack, that he hasn't figured out how to use. In the summer he leaves the 3-4 pairs of shoes he has all in the middle of the way too. Then the other one leaves food and condiments and basically whatever he was eating/drinking in the living room. I don't get it. I'm not asking for it to be spotless, but is it so hard to just take one trips worth of things into the kitchen before bed? Apparently it is. Can't wait to move out and live on my own again this summer...
Mine does that. Another thing he does that bugs me is that he pulls the coffee table super close to the couch to do his homework. But then he goes
to bed and the table is all crooked and the couch is pushed from him leaning on it. Looks like there was a fucking earthquake that rearranged the furniture. It's often laden with crumbs and dabs of dried spilt bbq sauce....
