[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 396494, member: 1233"] I totally understand where you are coming from! husband and I used to get SO upset iwth my parents when they would come visit. We did a couple of loads of laundry each night - at least 4 nights a week. We did NOT do all the laundry at one time because Wiz had at least as many clothes as husband and I combined. NOT that we bought for him - stuff my mother sent because she was seriously into shoppaholism. Not outgrown clothes, literally 30+ outfits most of the time. They INSISTED on washing it ALL and then would be FURIOUS at our lack of gratitude because we didn't "keep up" with the laundry. Never mind that we didn't have ROOM to put all the clean clothes away. Or that Jess needed more items (she would get 1 outfit or maybe 2 for every 4-5 that Wiz got. With almost 4 yrs between them AND their sensory issues and preferences hand me downs were not a real option.) and Wiz needed a LOT less entitlement and a LOT less stuff of any kind. Right now our laundry room is a PITA. between the washer and dryer is the only place the litter box can live. I will NOT have it in the kitchen/dining room and niether bathroom really has a good place for it. husband llikes to pull stuff out of the dryer and leave it on the floor there. Of COURSE the cat likes to jump into the basket. He is Siamese and letting his feet touch the floor for ANY reason other than eating is a mortal sin in his book! Then husband gets mad because I make him rewash laundry because it got litter tracked into it. I finally started fining husband and the kids for loads left on the floor of the utility room. Maybe you should charge Cory and Mandy and Billy a quarter for every item you have to rewash. It cured a LOT of the "I don't want to wear this today so lets' toss it on the floor and stomp on it" when Wiz was at his worst with it. I hope work becomes less stressful for Tony. Hopefully he can become less stressed after the holidays. Have you gotten medications for that infection?? You had better at least call the doctor before you head off to Jamie's house. [/QUOTE]
