So you share a kitchen with the entire household.  While wanting to help your mom out is admirable (and should be definately be something you do since you eat and don't cook), don't you think concentrating on YOUR rooms should be more of a priority?

I'm afraid to think of how long it has been since you washed the comforter on your bed, and how long it has been since you had any sheets on it.

Both you and your partner are large people, and large people tend to perspire more.  With no sheets on the bed, all that sweat is going straight into your mattress which is really disgusting and will ruin your mattress over time.

As for the comforter and blankets, those should be washed every couple of months at the very least.

These things truly all fall under the umbrella of living in an environment that is healthy.  I really can't understand how you continue to make excuses for that.  You need to learn that making the environment you live in healthier is going to improve your overall health.

Within a week of moving out of the place I shared with my last room mate, my health improved.  It can happen that quickly.  Things spilled on the floor and not immediately cleaned up are a breeding ground for germs and bacteria.  I have to say...the smell in your place must be atrocious.

Yes, we share a kitchen and a bathroom with my parents. There is only one kitchen and one bathroom here. I have cook ware, like crock pots and electric skillets, but if you want a fullsize stove, and a sink, and everything that comes with a kitchen, we use hers.


and My room should be priority yes, but why, after my chores are done, shouldn't I spiffy up a few things now and then as I am leaving the kitchen at the end of the night. Specially if they were my dishes, or I just finished e the last of the food in the pan, and it's now empty as the case of tonights soup pan for dinner and it would be a sweet gesture to clean it up .



I swear sometimes you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. lol. First i am not helping enough, * not said in this thread persay, but said before* cause it's no secret she cooks an cleans for the family . then when i take time to help out and state what i've done for my mom i get well that's nice, but shouldn't you clean your house, and not worry about her kitchen lol.


I can do both. Specially when her kitchen is mostly tidy and it doesn't take long to put the cantalope away for her, and bleach the stove.


We have a washer and a dryer, and we were washing the blankets at home, but the king size stuff is to big an so it's very hard on the machine, so i love the laundry mat, t they have jumbo washers that'll fit comforters no problem, and they're done super, super fast. At one point they were giving away free jumbo 30 pound load washes, so i took a buncha stuff in like the dog bed cover, even though it hadn't been long since the rescue where i got Calley May gave us the bed.


We actually wash our blankets pretty regularly and we used to have sheets and a mattress protecter on the bed all the time and washed them regularly too. I bought a brand new pillow top mattress cover when it was on sale because the old one was getting holes where it went onto the mattress edge , and wasn't water proof any more, and i think i'll like how plush it is. Also bought a vinyl water proof slip on mattress cover, that encases the whole mattress an zips on cause i like the added protection from knowing the mattress protector is zipped on an can't pop off. Not to give the impression we do tons of gross stuff on the bed and need double layers of protection, however, they do become less water proof as time rolls on, and we do have a dog an she does lay on the bed, and you never know. One time when Ginger was still alive and it had been raining my dad let her into the far back of the property and it was flooded an muddy an i didn't know he'd let her back there. She came back in an jumped into the bed an had everything muddy, and boy i was pissed.


Other than i would have washed dishes tonight but i don't have kitchen gloves, so i will do it in the morning I don't see excuses you keep claiming i am makinging every new post i make. In some older posts, there were excuses yes, like he won't help me and it's hard to do alone, But In fact I see me saying i have cleaned up 3 days in a row, did stuff that was extra and wasn't my mess, and helped out my mom and still did my chores, and have a work load plan for the next day.

Thank you Rule. It helps a lot to have plans and know what you want to do for the day, makes it far less confusing.

Just so long as your plans are realistic. Keep them simple (like going to the laundry mat and making the bed) or you may find yourself become frustrated with not enough hours in the day to do everything you had "planned" on doing. That happens to me more often than not.

Frustration and unrealistic plans are a recipe for certain failure.

That is not that as soon as you have all of plans accomplished for the day, you can't make more plans for the rest of the day. In fact that is better than giving yourself too big a workload from the beginning.

And I know all about needing to protect furniture and mattresses from animals. One of my cats will get upset with me and go straight to my bed and piss on the mattress. I try not to make him upset with me, but when I was working 2 jobs, that was virtually impossible.

Eriesngel,that would drive me nuts. I hated when you thought the mattress protector. Was on but it hadslid off, an you didnt know right away.zipped on just makes that impossible, unless it ripped an you didn't know it.

Good for you - keep up the good work.



It takes time for new routines to become habit.

Solution: sleep in an indian hammock. It is easy to clean as well, for one simply rolls it up and puts it in the washing machine.

Also recommended by me for people with bed bugs.

Indian hammocks are for one person only, though two person hammocks are also sold. The hammock axis and the person's sleeping axis must be at an angle of 45 degrees, causing the hammock to spread out into a comfortable horizontal surface the size of a two person bed.

Another positive: lots of open floor space when not in use.
Negative: it is impossible to hide boxes, dust devils and other stuff under a hammock.

See, the thing is that I don't think that helping your mom out is "sweet."  I think it should be a given that you use the kitchen you help in cleaning it/keeping it clean.

I think it is great that you are sticking to it.  It is just that you tend to stick to something for a week or so and then give up.  I really don't want to see you give up right now.  I also think that since you say your mom is tidy and organized you should enlist her help in getting your space that way.  Once things are organized and neat it is far easier to keep things that way.

You can wash feather pillows? Did they come all the way dry? Are they still fluffy? I can't use feather pillows, for some reason they give me a bad headache, but I didn't think you cold wash them.

Back in the day we sure did used to wash them, and stick them in the dryer with some tennis balls for action traction. Same as with a down coat.

I just remember them never ever seeming to dry and smelling musty. Of course, that was WAY back in the day

They require SERIOUS dryer time, and I have to wonder if it's worth it. We use the synthetic ones now and pitch them when they get grotty.

OP, you open yourself up to the damned if you do, damned if you don't comments because you do use excuses and in the end you don't stick with anything. People are generally willing to give you some benefit of the doubt, then the good will evaporates when the excuses come in, and later when the work stops. It's hard to have you keep coming back for yet more support and help, and then each time it's a wasted effort. I think it's safe to say we would all like to see you succeed - it gets hard to be endlessly positive with the support when you either don't use it or give it up.

Then when you come here with the next difficulty it's like "What's the use? I'll put forth effort to try to help and I can predict she's going to ignore what she doesn't like to hear, get some positive things done, make some excuses, and then in the end she'll give it all up." That's how every thread you've ever started on here asking for help goes. On one hand it's not really fair to label someone and their behavior as never changing...on the other hand its stupid to ignore what happens every single time and think it will be different this time.

We know you have issues, so many posts on this thread were about everyone else's issues and what they manage to do in spite of those problems. Other people have told you their stories and what they do, it was stunning to my mind what some have to deal with and there they are....dealing and getting things done in their life. You can do it too.

We get the pillows with the fake filling as well. When they get too thin, I pop two of them in a zippered pillow cover. Whole "new" pillow and its thicker.

Yup, it was a bitch to make them dry all the way, it took about an hour or so, but they did dry and they're super fluffy again.
