[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 363280, member: 2459"] When Cory gets done at STeps....he can come here! I'll even go pick him up....it's not that far! If he comes soon....he can sleep in difficult child's room as it's not being used at the moment except by Cloe who misses her boy. I am not Martha Stewart and have never claimed to be. I love having a clean and organized house but I hate getting/keeping it that way. Plus....and husband would be mortified to know I broadcast this on the net...I gave up a few (or more) years ago. Depression, frustration....whatever it was it was difficult child related and I simply gave up. The dust bunnies have colonized, you could play Tarzan with the cobwebs on the ceiling....it's horrible. I have tubs of clothes in the front room that migrate from sorted for Goodwill to needs sorted because the "keep" clothes have socialized and mated with the Goodwill stuff. Or.....difficult child went through it looking for stuff to wear even though it's all either my stuff of husband's that wouldn't fit difficult child in a million years. The kittens love the enclosed porch they live in. It's a hide and seek heaven. It was relatively orgainzed at one point. Then, difficult child 1. went "shopping" out there and 2. "moved out" for a week once taking all of his stuff. When he came back, he simply dumped the majority of things on the porch. With him gone, I"m slowly taking my house back. I'm going to have someone come help me clean and get this place back in shape. I'm tired of living like this too. Fortunately, my "helper" is my cousin who also is not Martha Stewart. :raspberry-tounge: Anyhoo....sorry...didn't mean to hijack, just wanted you to know that reasons aside, you're not alone. As for your husband....you've gotten good advice. If he hasn't always been like this, something's up. If he has..tell him you've had enough and you can't live like this. There are X number of people living in the house and X number of people are going to get it whipped into shape. However, I have second dibs on Cory!!! [/QUOTE]
