teh boy ~ warning a bit of a rant

[zestfive]

What am I going to do? He's driving me crazy. I know that I was lazy growing up but I mostly did my chores when I had to.

He on the other hand, requires multiple reminders and is often blatently disrespectful. He will go on the computer or tv even after I've told him no. The tv room has the digital tv and video games in there, the reason why I don't want him in there is (despite repeated requests) he changes the settings on the tv system. I've asked him to clean up the living room for at least a week. For some reason, he thinks he's done it but there is still stuff everywhere. 

Yesterday I stayed home because I wasn't feeling well, headache and queasy stomach. The boy did finally get working on stuff which was nice. He picked up and vacuumed his room and picked up the living room the night before. Finally, and so dinner was nice. Let's hope he can maintain this.

i dunno what kind of messy you're dealing with.... but if we didn't pick up our stuff when told... then my mom would and we would never see it again.

if you need help with it i'm willing to help if i can.

Thanks for your support! Actually, last night was pretty good. When I got home, he was asleep but he did later join us watching a little TV and invited us to his birthday event with my Dad. (My Dad invited him to have a picnic at his land).

I sometimes wonder if my boy isn't a little depressed.

He just doesn't clean up after himself and it's not that I'm anal about things (believe me, I'm not anal!). When he makes mac and cheese he needs to throw away the packaging and put the dishes in the dishwasher (it's not that hard!)

I would love any suggestions you have!
