#leahann

Seriously, this house isn't trashed because Leahann, Esther or I make a mess. Its not even the two cats we have that cause this mess. It is all on Roseann.

Mom can't be bothered to put her clothes away; she can't be bothered to take out her dishes and doesn't see a problem with piling the mail next to the computer until it topples over onto the floor. She is depended on us to clean HER mess, yet is upset when we don't do it.

It isn't our responsibility, we should only have to clean up after our respected cats and ourselves. My job also isn't to lecture Esther on cleaning. Seriously mom- step up on that, will ya? It isn't Leahann's job either.

Yet both of us have to constantly get on Esther's case. She puts pots and dishes away dirty, she can't be bothered to sweep; doesn't bat an eye when she sees the dishwasher is filled, but hasn't be ran. This doesn't happen daily, but it is frustrating.

& Mom I'm not saying Leahann and I are perfect. So quit saying I call myself, "Little Miss Perfect" (Just because I think it doesn't mean I voicce it) I know I can be lazy about cleaning, and I know Leahann can be too. I don't like cleaning the living room, as in your domain. Vacuuming that room sucks. I get no joy in seeing that room cleaned by my own hands. So yes, I will take a really long time and my vacuuming will look like crap compared to Leah's.

Although I can be lazy about cleaning, my standards and Esther's are completely different. I'm not even sure if Esther has standards. I've literally seen her flick a broom and call it sweeping.

At least I'll make that up in the dining room though. That floor will shine, the curtains will be washed if needed, desks will be uncluttered and organized, and video games will be put were they belong. Those buckets will all be wiped down. Seriously, I clean that room the best. I will also do a great job on the bathroom. I'll admit my cleaning of the shower will only be average, but at least I'll sweep the whole floor, wash tub, toilet and sink. I'll also move those stupid cabinet things that no one else cleans under. 

Surely those two rooms would give the Living Room some leeway? Oh, it won't. Right. Because I do nothing in this house, and Leahann cleans so much better then me.

Which by the way, totally pisses me off. Leahann doesn't clean better then I do. Overall, I'd say we are equal. She cleans the Living Room better then I do, but I clean the Dining Room better then she does. She cleans the counters off really well in the Kitchen, but I clean the floors better. We are both good cleaners, we just do better in different areas. Mom, get your head out your ass and stop complaining about me.

To say Esther and I clean the same way, and put the same amount of effort into it is beyond insulting. Mainly because, seriously, when does Esther clean without having her arm twisted?

When does her being forced to clean produce a clean room?

I produce clean rooms, maybe they aren't perfectly sterile-grandma styled, but they're clean. You can see the floor, and the cob-webs are gone. Mail isn't piled everywhere.

So quit saying that Esther and I don't clean.

I apologize for my unwillingness to jump at your demand. You want something done, do it yourself.

Do not force it on me, or Leahann. Don't complain about me complaining about cleaning up after you. At least I am doing it! If I want to bitch and complain under my breath- let me. Afterwards I'll be calm and cool like a cucumber. There will be no stick up my ass, and no attitude either. 

I know you like playing the game, "How much can I get Liz to do before she flips out," I bet it gives you great amusement. Here is a spoiler though, if you let me rant under my breath and don't call me out on it- I will clean up after you more.

Seriously. You want to know why? Because after I bitch and complain, I let it goooooo. I won't hold on to it for the rest of the day. I won't retreat to a different part of the house, and I won't go to bed earlier then I wanted to. That would give you more time to take advantage of my slavery.

All I'm asking of you is to stop saying Leahann does all the work in the house, get Esther's cleaning standards up, and clean up after yourself.

Do you want to know why I ask this of you?

If you quit saying Leahann does everything, and Esther and I do nothing- we'd be more willing to do chores. Leahann doesn't even do a lot. Yes she will sort papers, but she'll also leave papers that could be thrown away in a neat little pile.... That will get knocked over. She doesn't even cook dinner. I cook all the time. Esther cooks occasionally. I literally cannot remember the last time Leahann cooked a meal by herself. Cooking can be as hard as cleaning. Get off my back about cleaning- I am the only one that cooks.

If Esther cleaned better and more often, you wouldn't have to constantly stop the fighting between Esther, Leah and I. We'd have nothing to fight about. The three of us literally only argue about the house. Leah and I get fed up with the trash, we start cleaning. Esther sits on the computer. We argue with her over it. There is not reason for that. It is the weekend, she isn't doing homework. Do not allow her 'five' more minutes. We all know she'll stay on that computer all day. AND YOU'LL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. Leahann and I have had the bathroom and living room cleaned up for like three weeks now. Esther hasn't cleaned the dining room once. No. Reason. For. That.

If you cleaned up after yourself the house would just in general be cleaned. Admit it, you're a slob.

This post wasn't meant to be a rant or anything. Nothing really brought this on.

Well, besides the fact that the kitchen is disgusting and today was the second day I've attacking it. Every time I've asked Esther for help I've got a, "Wait" as a response. Yet, I have to ask multiple times afterwards to get her to half ass put away the stuff in the dish drain. God forbid I ask her to wash a pot. Instead of mom stepping up and getting Esther to do something, she lets Esther go over her friend's house.

I think what makes this whole situation worse is, Esther would clean perfectly fine if mom wasn't such an ass.

Seriously, when ever I hear mom say, "I can't wait for you to have your own house," I nearly die. I think it is safe to say none of her children will have disgusting houses.

Unless one of us are unfortunate enough to be guilt into letting mom live with them.

Also, this post isn't meant to knock down Leahann or Esther with their cleaning. Mom's comments just piss me the hell off.

Finally, Esther since you like reading my freakin' tumblr.
