I live in a house of lazy pigs. That is the only way I can describe it. Nothing gets put away, I get just about yelled at if the Man can't find clothes to wear (even if they are folded up in the wardrobe), my kitchen bench is non existent (every time I manage to clear it and get everything a home, it just gets piled up again with cr@p), etc, etc. My kids don't even have anywhere outside to play FFS! There are so many other things I could tell you about that doesn't get done, even though I ask, and ask, and ask. I have even begged, and still nothing is done.

As a result, (and other relationship issues) my MIL (the Man's step mother) is strongly suggesting that I look for emergency accommodation, or public housing. I don't see that as being do-able because I also have two dogs (which won't get fed if I'm not here), and two cars. Sorry, this should probably go in another section!

Anyway, now my question... How do you get your house tidy and things disposed of/cleaned up, and people to pick up after themselves when they have no interest in doing so? This is soooo depressing, and I am just about in tears typing it. If I have the strength, I will kick the boys out, but I want to be able to live in a tidy house. I give up on making things tidy, as to put it bluntly, it just gets s*** on by the other two. How do I do it???? Grr, now I'm in tears!
