Am I wrong, my Mrs has a daughter who is now 19. Me and the Mrs are always arguing about her and she protects her and defends her no matter what she does and refuses to push her to get a job or do any chores around the house.
She's 19 goes to college 2 days a week does not have a job or chores just sits around all day eating and leaving mess all around the house, she's had everything under the sun from her mother you name it whatever she wants she gets like a princess money no object so spoilt its untrue she will have her birthday presents one week and the week after she will ask for something else and guess what she will get it.
Here's a list.
Wrappers left in the living room often left on the floor with crumbs
Shoes left in the living room together with her bag even though i have placed 2 shoe storage boxes at the front entrance.
Goes up the stairs with her shoes on when me and the mrs make sure we take ours off before we go up.
Expects me or the Mrs to cook for her boyfriend when she brings him with her.
Constant bickering about how i hate her and i'm this i'm that, mrs came in last week huffing and puffing looking at all the dishes in the sink when i had just come in from work and her daughters sat there playing on ps4 all day.
I have spent numerous hours decorating sawing and building things for our house and hours and hours on end cleaning, taking the mrs to work on saturday morning, walking feeding and looking after the dog, but still i'm the bad man i could clean up for 6 hours and soon as she enters there's mess no respect.
I'm worn out burnt out and tbh i'm not feeling any love for them at the moment this is how bad the situation has got.
All i want is her to learn to stand on her own too feet and learn responsibility because she should have learn't it by now and just make it a little easier for us, friday i came back from work and i spent 2 hours cleaning up before i could sit down.
To show you the extent of her lazyness i will tell you about the story of the eyelash, there's an eyelash don't know if it's fell off or dropped in front her room i thought to myself i will leave that there see how long it takes her to pick it up, 2 weeks later it's still there can't be even bothered to pick it up.
Surely this is not normal for someone who is now 19.
