WAW - Possible MLC I need help, WAWs advice II

[dday101798]

Once again, sounds all too familiar my friend.

Your stance is a bit firmer then mine, but to each his own.

My house was/is always full of projects, so the moment I got home, that was my household duty, car repairs, replace a bum outlet, paint this or that and the list goes on. so I'd say 75% of the time W designated herself to the upkeep portion of the house, coupled with when I did clean things up voluntarily it was not to her standard.

This ment, unlike yours, since she wanted to be party gilr/absentee mom most of the time, the house WAS a disaster. Both sides of the sink piled with dirty dishes, laundry all over the floor(s) the list goes on. And whne I'd go through and pcik everything up, the next day it was all right back where it was prior.

Now? For starters, I refuse to eat anything that comes out of a filthy kitchen, my kitchen has now been THE CLEANEST room in the house since she left. When I walk in my bedroom, I'm walking on carpet, not 3 inches of clothes. This on top of I feed and shop for myself, which ever son I have for the week, my 'house-mate' and his son and daughter and not one utility has been in jeapordy of being shut off as was under the former way things were handled. My mortgage is normally paid 5 days ealy at the latest.

"w's house"? She stays at her father's who doesn't stay there often (oh, and she's not responsible for ANY BILLS there btw). And low and behold, the place is a constant disaster. I had to go over there a couple of weeks ago looking for one of my sons who disappeared after school and even the outside is a disgrace, beer bottles and cans everywhere, ashtrays overloaded with cigarettes and trash floating around in the yard.

So none the less, I take much humbleness when one of 'our' friends comes over and says "damn, this place is clean!".

I made the dumb mistake tho of 'de-wifing' the kitchen of her decorative taste right before the holidays but hey, atleast now I can stare and the baron walls and devise a scheme of my own that is no way tampered by thoughts of the W.
