OVER-crowded…

we have a standard size two storey house with three bed rooms. my parents in one room, me n carl in another n my brothers room is now the guest room/his room when he comes home. thats fine, this house was built for at least four people.

i’m a messy person, not in other people’s houses but in my own house which drives my mam CRAZY! ok i’d get annoyed if people were leaving things all over the place so i try to be considerate, i clean up after myself…most of the time. my room is ALWAYS a mess, but its my room whats the difference if its messy or not? yesterday my mam exploded about my room! it has been relatively clean lately which i’ve been proud of but in the last couple of days things just started piling up n i was busy doing essays for college.

I’m too old for this, i’m too old to be given out to because of a mess in MY room. its ridiculous! when my mam was 21 she was married and had her own house because people did go to college and focus on their careers, then they left school young started workin and could afford a house. I neeeeeed some space! I feel so trapped here, carl moved in and dont get me wrong i absolutely love him but he always leaves the bathroom in a state which annoys me because i know its gonna annoy my mam and she’ll either give out to me or give out about carl to me!! things like cutting his nails into the bath…hello use a bin! and he never listens when i ask him not to do it! its not him i’m annoyed at though its my mam I’m just too old for this!

heres to getting my own place (sooner rather than later i hope!!)

I felt the same way after I moved out and moved back home, and about a year ago I went out and took the plunge. Got my own apt this time. Good luck!
