Who, me? Bad habits?! Come on….

My first roommate used to put half-empty glasses of milk under her bed and leave them there (until I followed the stench and collected them and found the milk to be solid. She, too, had an aversion to paying bills…We learn a lot from roommates, don’t we?

I would find it very hard to live with someone else after being so adjusted to the habits of my family.

I wouldn’t want to live with me either…

Ooh Lord. Yes, living with people is really hard. Roommates can be horrible. That’s why I can only live with my sisters. The cool thing about living with your kids and husband is you can tell them, they’re driving you crazy and to stop. My husband is learning (slowly) that he can’t make a mess and expect me to be happy about it.

Tell me about it. We used to live with the inlaws and I learned to tiptoe around the house for a full 3 years before we were finally able to afford our own place!

I tried to comment earlier but my iPad was acting up. I love this post! You are so right that we can be just as ‘ugly’ as we think other people are being. I’ve also had my share of ‘ugly’ roommates, an awesome one…and then family. I had to laugh about the sponge sitting in water because my kids do that. I need to remember that at least they are doing dishes, right???

I can’t imagine what someone would feel like if they lived with me. I like living alone, but I also like the fact that I get houseguests a lot. They come, make me happy, then make me mad, and then they leave. Works for me.

For sure, living with others is not easy.

I had one who was bullemic and didn’t wipe up where she splattered – she also dyed my fuzzy pink bath mat when she dyed her hair black. Classic.

Hilarious! I haven’t had too many roomies, but some of my sibs drove me crazy (because they were truly mentally ill, it just wasn’t diagnosed yet). My friends saw a change in me when I got my own place. The stress of handling everything on my own financially was calming compared to my previous existence…

Well put, we all have bad habits. Hopefully we feel grateful to live with the people we do!

Is anyone easy to live with? My husband drives me crazy with the little things. When the toilet paper runs out, he will get out a new roll, BUT he will put it onto of the empty roll. Why can’t the extra step of removing the old roll and put the new one on? 1/2 the step has already been done..
Having said that, he does have good qualities. 🙂

What’s the saying people that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones! My hubby chews so loud and breathes heavy while sleeping….I apparently snore on occasion….what!! Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh man could I ADD some thoughts to the “downfalls” of others in rooming situations – – – but I’ll leave it at what you said and just contribute a hearty AMEN!

I do currently live alone and I’m enjoying it immensely. I’m not anti-social, but it’s nice to have a sanctuary all to myself at the end of a long, stressful day.
