The new Buffy


 my parents
Back to Full Blog  

my mom and dad own my house. I thought they were cool with how we take care of the house.....um no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! their new requirementsare as follows:

call a bug guy and have them come once a month.
rent a rug doctor and clean the carpets.
get a shed and a weedeater.
no smoking in the house.
plenty of air freshners.

they will pay for the bug guy, shed and weedeater. I just feel like I am never good enough. This house is clean...and its not clean enough. I just feel like I will never be good enough or my husband will be. They look down on him becouse he does not mow our yard. I am serious, he all but called my husband a bum becouse he does not do much around the house.

he said three things that I believe to be false.....the carpet was white when you moved in....yeah right. I told you you could only have two cats...and this is a nonsmoking house.

I can't move, no money...I don't know what to do, guess I have no choice but to clean and hope its good enough.

I think that is about all you can do, for now. Maybe if they see that you are trying, they will finally stop nagging. I've had a dining room/living room beige carpet taken out a few years ago and replaced with laminate wood. More recently, the tattered couch was out. I'm also planning to have the rest of my rugs ripped out. Then my rooms will look cleaner and stay cleaner, no matter what the cats do. Cleaning up accidents is much easier.

Good luck to you in coping with this problem.

Buffy I cannot believe how your parents are being. They are being unreasonable with their demands. I can understand the mowing of the lawn. The bug guy and saying you have to get a shed and weedeater (weed eaters are good though, I have one) the air fresheners requiremnet is off the wall and I try and rent a rug doctor at least once every two years or so. I really think they are overstepping the boundries or landlord-tenant relationship. They seem to forget that in the capacity of the house, it is your property that you are paying rent on. Get yourself informed on the the expectations of the landlord tenant act in your area. If there is anyway you can move out, the sooner the better.

I don't why it is that we constantly "need" our parents approval, but it's a given. Guess that's just how we're made. And, I can see how you'd take these rules as criticism. Ouch!...I guess the flip side of this is you will be receiving some new things. I'd love to have someone supply me with a shed for all my husbands stuff that he stores in the garage.
(((HUGS))) to you, Buffy!!
