Feb. 25th, 2005 03:08 pmI am going insane.
i have three roommates. Jess and rachel and i pay rent. rachel's b/f is supposed to do housework, as he doesn't have a job (after something like six months)
HE DOESN'T
he will generally, once a week or so, wash about half the dishes. the last time all of the dishes were done, *I* did them. the stairs haven't been swept in months. he will gather trash, and it will sit in the kitchen or on the back porch for weeks. there are messes in every room, and he won't do ANYTHING unless someone is standing over him. he's 21. if he had a job (that paid money), he wouldn;t have to do all the housework.
instead he has a job that pays him nothing yet makes him too tired to do anything here. and its not like i don't empathize. his friends mom is dying of brain cancer, so he is drywalling her house FOR FREE because this is her dying wish. i get this, i do, and yet this particular thing A)started off as a paying job and B)takes so much time that he contributes almost nothing to the place where he lives and eats for free.
i am tired of fighting with rachel about the boy. i am tired of jess and i talking to the boy. i have told rachel i am tempted to lock the food up and only feed him after housework. i really really am. its not that i have a problem with him helping others, its that he has a deal with us that he has NEVER kept his end of, and what little he used to do he doesn't anymore, and i am SICK OF IT. advise, please...
