I will try and post this Without going into detail and outing myself.
We are saving for a mortgage and see having to live with family for now.
DDs grandad makes a huge mess in the kitchen everyday and expects me to clean it up.
Purposely sometimes take dc out for food so that we are not making a mess and will get home and he will remind he I need to do the dishwasher and clean the kitchen even though we have not made any of the mess.
I am happy to do chores around the house and actually enjoy cleaning (on my own terms) but hate to be nagged and hate that he makes a huge mess in the kitchen and won't clean it up. I decided to stop doing it as it was not my mess and felt he was taking the piss! This led to huge rows and fallouts.
I would like to implement a new system where everyone cleans up their own things - surely that would be easier way?
We have family coming tomorrow and I am expected to do the majority of the cleaning (which is going to take most of the day) as family members will expect the house to be spotless.
AIBU am to feel a bit annoyed at being expected that the cleaning should be mainly my job? We pay them rent and buy all our own food, do our own washing etc but he still thinks he is doing us a huge favour and we constantly 'owe' them e.g. By cleaning etc.
I think it's going to be atleast another 3 years before we can afford our own house (we are saving for a mortgage).
Anyone else been in this situation?!
