ORIGINAL: thetammyjo *raises a hand* I have a question. Why is the living room this roommates room? I could see a lot of this being dealt with simply by giving him his own bedroom. Or better yet, he moves out and you move in. I mean, if you are 24/7 all ready, that would say you traveling and paying for another place. Tom has his desk and his space in our house -- it is not my or my slave's responsiblity to clean it and we all chip in on doing the housework. However, these spaces that my rather messy husband has are not in public view. He lives in the living room because it's a small house and he didn't pay rent for about a year and ahalf so Master wasn't going to give him his own room, my bedroom is upstairs in the attic apartment (which I only use to store my stuff, I sleep at the foot of Masrer's bed most of the time) I have sugjested to Master that the roommate move in up stairs, but Master wants me to have my own space. Shylah Perhaps you have to explain things a bit more to your master about the living room and guests and the issue of keeping the place clean. Then frankly it is up to your master to deal with the roommate. It is up to you to deal with your assigned duties -- unless you really like you want more, I wouldn't do more. I suspect this is probably hard. Sometimes Fox starts to do Tom's chores and I stop him. Why? Tom is an adult who is supposed to be my equal partner in this family, Fox is not his slave, he's mine so Fox helps me with my side of the chores. Tom can get his own slave if he wants one or hire a maid to do his share. But Fox says that he knows having things out of place bugs me and isn't it his job to make my life easier? I point out that if something happens to Fox his doing Tom's share has trained Tom to not do his share and this my work load would increase. Aside from the family aspect, what I'm trying to say is that I can imagine that you feel really disconcerted or even upset by the mess you see. Sadly how you can deal with it really depends on what your negotiated dynamic is with your master. If you are supposed to deal with this all, then I second BitaTruble and say hire a maid and charge the roommate. Either he'll start cleaning up or he'll pay for the maid -- either ways things get easier for you, right?
