[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 366631, member: 1722"] {{{Hugs}}} to you. I understand. Both husband and Duckie are messy and careless too. My advice: Find a space that is yours and defend it with all your being. I have two. My closet and my the top of my dresser. Both know I will flip if anything is put there. My husband has an office, Duckie has a bedroom. husband and I share a bedroom. So now I make a big deal of throwing their stuff in their space. And I mean [I]throw! [/I] My husband, especially, had to learn that messiness is a big deal to [B]me[/B] even if he couldn't care less. I have the right to a living space that I can tolerate. And, they both need to pitch in when I hurt. Neither did a thing when I hurt my back and I'm still digging out. It took me threatening to get rid of our pets because of the fur for them to vacuum or dust. It was too late by then. Your two are both adults and they need to step up but they won't if they think it's not a big deal. Make it a big deal! Then figure out a way to get a shed and some rubbermaid totes to store some stuff. I hope it cools down quickly. [/QUOTE]
