[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 489287, member: 3444"] If this were in either of their rooms, I wouldn't do a thing about fixing it either, Step. But it's in my front entrance hallway. It's just one more example of how no one around here takes any responsibility for themselves or thinks beyond their nose. Whether it's leaving dirty dishes lying around, or food or wrappers and containers, or laundry, or dirt from their shoes/cleats, or school items, or sports equipment, or towels, or toys/games, or... And it's not just the boys, it's husband to and easy child. I'm tired of being the ONLY one who cares about my home. I LIKE it when things are clean. I LIKE it when things are put away. It makes me feel STRESSED when I'm the only one that picks up stuff or cleans! I did NOT sign on as a maid or a domestic slave. I have lowered my expectations and my standards for over two decades and I just feel like I'm DONE. The next two weeks, the boys are going to see just how dependent on me they've been and how much work I do for them because they are going to be doing it for themselves. ALL of it. Maybe then they'll show some consideration and think of how what they do affects others. As for Christmas? I'm hitting my mom up on her offer to host it again this year. I'm feeling pretty bah-humbug right now. [/QUOTE]
