living with lazy people

wow! they are all over 60 and play video games all day???!!! wow! this video game thing is no joke, huh? it really gets people hooked. but, i notice what kind of people that it hooks, like lazy people who don't want to do anything except live off others.

Personally that can be a huge issue with a lot of people these days. I think the main problem is too many people get too involved with Computer games, or XBOX, WII when they become unemployed instead of looking at the BIG picture overall as in if they are not working somewhere else they need to be able to help around the house and see that things get done. But too many times men are told while growing up that women are the only ones who cook, clean house etc. so they end up leaving it for you.

sit them down and seriously tell them your predicament. then ask them to help and let each one choose which part of the house they want to take charge e.g. one for the kitchen, other one in the living room, and the other one with the garden or rooms. they're not kids anymore obviously and they should not be told anymore. you shouldn't be working outside your home and then come home to clean up after their own mess, that's not fair. so be good to yourself and let them know what they need to know. good luck, imgrandma12!

sometimes, i feel this way too (the other three guys). one remedy for this could be telling them exactly what it is need to be done. everyone feels how it's like to be bossed around sometime. it could be good for them that you do this. nothing wrong with that right.

It sounds like you are living with immature people. My stepson does nothing but play games all the time too but when he feels sick of his dirt he cleans his room. His dad will shout at him sometimes to clean uo his mess. I think it is best to remind them by really telling them what you want to happen with the household. With this kind of people I hope they how important cleanliness is. I don't think they will see that as a priority in their life. I just hope they will listen to you before it's too late.

You need to tell them clean the room,if they don't care,I think you move out is the best choose!

Just sit them down and tell them all at one time. If they dont listen then you dont need to be cleaning up after them in the first place. Explain how you feel and if they truly respect you they will start helping out.
