I have a roomate who is never home but when she is home she is so lazy. She yelled at me for eating a can of soup she had in the pantry. I came home for being out of town to find out that she used my tv watched my movies ate all of my beacon and chips. She left the kitchen a mess and the microweave is so gross from her using it all of the time i didn't feel right heating my food in it the other day. I never see her because we work different shifts so I wrote her a note asking her to clean the kitchen and the microwave. I woke up to find the note torn up and in the trash. I have 4 months untill our lease is up and I don't know if I can do it. she does this all of the time. What can I do to make time go smoothly?

hmmmmmmmmm
if you like her
those first issues don't matter much
just get some more food
she should clean up that mess though
if she is tearing up the note, maybe she has some HUGE issues of some kind
if she is a good frind try to help
if not or she won't even try , then don't
maybe visit friends instead of being there much
maybe just pay the 4 months rent and move out anyway
maybe get her to seek councilling

You're not going to like this answer but it will be a good slap in her face. Just smile to her and clean up the mess. Yes, you read corectly...clean up the mess. Perhaps she feels you're her live in maid. Perhaps she doesn't know how to clean. That is quite possible. Then, when you two go your separate ways, you'll still know how to clean and she'll either be left in the same old messy rut or she'll wake up and force herself to clean. Who knows, unless she finds someone else who can tolerate her messiness, she'll have to live with herself.
It's not easy learning to be a neat freak if you're not...trust me, I was like that.

I know I feel like she is my daughter though. I hate it but if that is how I want my house that is how it is going to be I guess thank you.

It sounds like you need to meet up together at the weekend or something and have a chat about it. Tell her than when you come in and the kitchen is a mess you feel angry because you have worked hard to okeep it nice so you would like her to clear up after herself.

I have tried that and she does really well for a while and then it get bad again. I think I will move on like I made the mess. I have been doing it for 8 months 4 more isn't going to kill me.
