[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 515595, member: 6705"] We have had so many problems with food and drink that... If it's in the kitchen, dining room, or on the deck outside, fine. If not, you're grounded. But why do husband and I have a fridge? Why are WE allowed? We pay for the food, electricity to cook and chill it, and the mortgage. OUR HOME. Messy is one thing. Infection waiting to happen is another. We had to tear the carpet out of Jett's room, and will likely have to do the same to Onyxx's (but that's actually not her fault, husband is a slob where coffee is concerned and that used to be our room). I used to refuse to go into Onyxx's room without gloves and shoes (not sandals)... Even when "clean". Now, it's just messy, and I can live with that. YOU pay the mortgage/rent. It is also a SAFETY issue. husband and I were discussing, when Jett hits 18/out of school, finding him a cheap studio apartment to rent and paying the rent for him - so he can learn to do FOR HIMSELF - because he's dang good at acting like he is incapable.
