I'd probably be okay with my son

and his girlfriend living here if the dishes I got for me didn't end up horded in their rooms, leaving me with no utensils to take to work on a Monday.

😐

Utensils I bought so I wouldn't have to use plastic and add to the landfill.

(She is a horder rebranded as a "maximalist' and he is just a slob. I don't go upstairs because I hate seeing my house look the way it does)

I've just come out of a household like this. As it wasn't my home and I couldn't live like that I came out. But if it were my home, they'd seriously have to buck up their ideas or find somewhere else to live. Because in my eyes that's disrespecting me and my home.
And I shouldn't have to feel burdened when I'm doing someone a favour.
And this is a major burden and inconvenience.

My son’s girlfriend (now fiancée) lived with me for almost two years .
But it was the opposite of your situation, good luck 👍

@FreeSpirit1 My daughter was a super neatnick, so maybe I got spoiled. Lol

Set boundaries. Not so much for her since she is hurt but the boyfriend can absolutely help more than he is and not make it uncomfortable for you

Time to call a 'house meeting' and explain that residency has terms and conditions. Sharing is just what it says on the tin.

Maybe.. let them know and creat your boundaries.
let them know you're disappointed in their behavior

FoxyQueen · 51-55, F

@FlowerPetal It is getting there.

Boundaries and limits! Your house your rules.

They both need to respect your property or move out.
Hopefully you are at least charging them rent ?

@Teslin To be fair, she does do a lot around the house and does help me out. She doesn't have to do that, so I do appreciate her help. Her leg has been broken, then rebroke just recently, so I don't expect her to be able to do a lot.

My son, on the other hand, should be doing more.

Teslin · M

@FoxyQueen OK, I apologize. I guess I misinterpreted and thought she was lazy.

FoxyQueen · 51-55, F

@Teslin It's okay. It wouldn't be a far reach not knowing

Time to dust off the old chores list...
