[QUOTE="Shari, post: 438806, member: 1848"] I went to the shelves because dressers weren't working. The only space I have in either of the dressers now is the small drawer on the top of the chest of drawers. And in those drawers are all of my shorts, tank tops, swim suits, sweat pants, etc. Kinda oddball stuff - all crammed in there. The 4 other big drawers are his. The other chest of drawers is completely full of stuff. Not a single article of clothing anymore. Shells, old cell phones and chargers, papers, fishing stuff. Another 5 drawer chest completely full of stuff that mostly doesn't even belong in the house. When easy child 1 and difficult child 1 moved out, I knocked out a wall to make 1 room bigger for cgfg, and rebuilt that wall into a small walk-in closet for him to store all of his gun supplies in. Its chock full of everything, too, and not just gun supplies. Just....junk. While he can be very passive aggressive, Step, I don't think that's what he's doing here. I think he's that lazy. One quick example of another solution/override, he'd come in the door and throw his outer wear on the floor. Ok, fine. When you have 5 people in a 1000 sq ft house, and they all throw their outwear on the floor, gets to be an issue.
