Losing my sanity with parenting my roommate
I 26f moved into my apartment with my boyfriend and cat (ESA). This is my first apartment but I’m used to sharing spaces with others in general.
I was told by the previous girl who lived here that my roommate “J” was cleanly…SHE WAS SO WRONG!!
J is disgusting, she does not clean shared spaces, leaves exterminate in the bathroom and has overall poor hygiene that walking near her or her area is unpleasant. My cats litter box isn’t as smelly as her area. I don’t even want to touch anything of hers.
I have only lived here for a month and had to already have multiple conversations about cleanliness of the bathroom and about spoiled food in the fridge/pantry. The first issue I had with her was boxes that she left in the hallway that were there for TWO YEARS and I had to ask her TWICE to break them down and recycle.
She keeps making excuses about work, stress, issues with family, etc. and tells me that “oh I normally do that sorry” or “I usually do that weekly sorry I forgot” Total lies, I have never seen her clean. Before I even moved in my boyfriend and I were in the apartment cleaning and painting, she never once helped or even offered to help!
I am at my wits end! I should not have to parent a grown woman and tell her or teach her how to clean or wipe her ass. I do not know what to do and I’m dreading living with her for a whole year.
