ok, first i want to complain that it took me a very long time to find this thread...now for the actual complaint: i have bronchitis, a sinus infection & a UTI, which will kinda wear a person down...i've been home for a week working my way to getting better enough to go back & take care of the Mom...i told my daughter (36 years old) & her fiance (41) that they could use my place this weekend for his visit with his son (5 3/4), thereby saving them the $200+ a motel room would have cost...i even gave up my room to them because i have a daybed in the living room that i could sleep on...they came here, & i was too sick to really even take care of myself, let alone wait on them...they knew that i was sick & that i needed to rest to get better & as soon as i had gotten better enough, i would have to leave my home & go back to the Mom's..... the first thing that happened was that after they got here with the child, the fiance wanted to use my computer to look at his email & i told him fine, but do not download any attachments onto my computer in order to look at them...i rarely download an attachment myself, only if i know for sure who has sent it & i trust them implicitly...he wanted to know why & looked at me like a teenager looks at their completely unreasonable parent...he then sat & looked at emails for over an hour, ignoring his child & leaving my daughter & i to entertain him...every now & again, he would tell the child to stop bothering him...i got out my trainset for the boy to play with, because he is completely obsessed with trains...my daughter set it up & got it going for him...then she & i went to the store where i really wore myself out, even though i used the riding old lady cart...when we got home, the fiance was on my computer & the tv was on, blaring a loud action show of some type...ever had a sinus infection?? that HURTS!!! the boy was off playing somewhere, without his father's supervision...the boy's mother called & they ran off to find the boy & i turned off the tv...when they came back, the boy was talking on the phone to his mother & the fiance sat on my bed & turned the tv back on without asking me...i told him to turn it back off & he wanted to know why he couldn't watch it...i explained my sensitivity to the noise & he began to argue with me...so i told him, "my house, my rules, turn it off!" he then sat & sulked & refused to talk to any of us, including his son...i had bought hamburgers to be cooked on the bbq...he decided that they should be fried on top of the stove, because it would be less messy...apparently it would be less messy cause he wouldn't clean up after himself... they took the boy to the County Fair & came back here long enough to grab his things & rush him back to his mother on time...they came back a couple hours later & said they had to pack & run cause they wanted to get home that night...i asked my daughter if she would at least strip & make my bed that they had been sleeping in...she hesitated, thought about it & agreed to do that...she asked if she could put the train in the spare room to hide it cause she didn't have time to put it away...they then packed & left...my home was very neat & tidy when they got here, except for some dishes that i hadn't been able to take care of while so sick...after they left, every room is a mess...they left the futon in the spare room still made up...they left 2 sets of dirty sheets besides those on the floor of the spare bedroom along with a wet towel from the boy's earlier shower...the left the coffeemaker dirty & i don't use it...they left the dirty dishes in the sink & on the counter...they left the stove coated in hamburger grease & other assorted foodstuffs...he left his towels on the floor of my bathroom...i had asked them to do some laundry for me & had given them the money, the supplies & the clothes i wanted done...after they left, i found the clothes i gave them to do on the floor of the spare room because apparently all they had the time to do were their own clothes.... so this is my complaint...what i have decided to do about this is to tell them they can no longer stay at my home...they showed such complete lack of respect & disregard for me & that is unacceptable to me...it did, however, make me look at how i have been allowing them to relate to me & to become resolved that this will never happen again...i have no need for this in my life.... whew!!! i feel ooooh, so much better now!!!
