He's 18.
He's the scruffiest git going, bedroom looks like a junkie den with takeaway wrappers, crisp packets, bottles and cans all over the floor. No sheet or duvet cover on his bed (I washed it, he just couldn't be arsed to put it on). He pisses all over the bathroom floor, down the side of the bog, on the wall, the radiator is rusting because it's constantly been splashed with piss. He gets a shower and leaves wet towels on the floor, in the bath, in the sink or on his bedroom floor, makes food and leaves shit all over the kitchen, wipes grease up with a tea towel, burns the pans or just doesn't but clean them so they get ruined ...
Apart from the mess he's loud, slams doors (not in anger, just because he's such a loud person), stomps around, slings doors open at 2/3 o clock in the morning, gets up for work and wakes everyone up slamming and stomping around ...
He torments the dog, always needs to be "in" if people are busy (small kitchen, someone goes to make food so he decides he needs to be in there at the same time and all hell breaks loose ...
Anyway I feel guilty because I've found myself hinting at him to move out. I would never kick my kids out and I love him dearly but he's just so hard to live with - so loud, so messy, so dramatic ... I gave him a lift yesterday and after yet another discovery of pissy bathroom and wet towels, ironing board stuck out in dining room, clothes on the table ... I found myself ranting at him about needing to be more considerate with the rest of the family and "flats are not that expensive you know ... I could help you with it ... "
he went quiet and now I feel dead guilty but the noise and mess stresses me out so much and nothing I say makes any difference!! Was I out of order?
