Hi All
the love the show so much and watch it every week
wish my mum and brother would , they are so lazy all the do is stay in my brothers room and play on the computers
i end up doing all the cleaning and they just dont care how can i make them help
fed up with the house looking messey

your mum goes on the pc all day with her son?,so what makes you think you have to do the housework?,just do yours,you can't make anyone do something that they can't see,does your mum notice when you tidy up?,if she doesn't well it's a bit of a lost cause,but if she does then stop doing it all,hopefully she will soon realise she needs to do it and not leave it all to you

well its not the pc she goes on its the playstation 2 xbox etc she and my brother are all into them games
reason i have to tyding is i cant a dirty house

she didnt use to be like this its only as shes got older shes got more lazy my brother has allways been lazy
and when she does clean which is not much , she cleans for like 10 minutes say she needs a rest and goes back to playing her game
she notices me cleaning and say i am a lazy cow then goes back to my brothers room

Is there no way you could get your own place Denise? No offence, but your mam sounds very ungrateful, if you van bear not to tidy up for a few days and let her see how messy the house is she might realise how much you do. Or take the fuse out of the games consoles plugs - that will be a shock for them! Can understand a kid playing games all day but not a grown woman with a house to run & 2 kids! HOw old is your brother? He should be made to do some housework.

My Brother is 30 he dont work he doesnt realy do much apart from take the dog out
i am trying to find a place to move out to as i get so fed i do all the cooking and cleaning while they dont do anything and i have got back problems to

we just got back in from shopping and where is my mum playing on the xbox
might try that and take the fuse out lol
she dont even like spending money on cleaning items i end up buying them as theres no way i will keep using the same cleaning cloth

maybe i should get kim and aggie to sort them out , that would shock them lol

i love my mum and wouldnt mind her playing on it now and then
but its every day that to much for a 55 year old women , she gets up comes down to my brothers room and sits in his room untill night time

Denise I feel so sorry for you. You must feel like your banging your head on a brick wall. Its so unfair, when you want to live in tidy comfort, I know you love your mum, but I cant believe a mum who spends her time playing games. Could you try calling a family meeting and talking to them about it. A place of your own sounds a good idea. and I bet you would keep it lovely. It would be better spending money on cleaning products for your own home. and you would be more content. And they would soon feel your absence. I feel you are being taken for granted. You know, just sit back and Denise will do it. So do something about it look after yourself instead.

Hi all
i have good news i left my message up so when my brother went on the pc he saw this
he spent nearly all day cleaning this room , thats a big start for him
and mum helped with cleaning the kitchen and helped cook dinner

mum says she will go on the computer less

i will still look for my own place but untill then i wont mums place to be clean for me +family family dog and my hamster

The power of the Internet! Really glad you posted this topic Denise, it sounds like it may have shocked your brother & mam a bit. Lets hope its not a one-off and they both start doing more. I thought your brother was a teenager when you said about him playing computer games, but 30?!!!!
