Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I finish doing the dishes and cleaning the counter. I load more soda into the fridge. I turn off the light. I turn around. He's in there, taken a soda without replacing it, left hummus and crumbs and a gummy knife on the counter despite me drilling into them you cannot do that here because of roaches and left the light on. And there is a fucking trail of peanuts across my livingroom.
And he won't fucking go to bed.

yes, they do. this is YOUR child and they need to shut the fuck up and let you be the parent.
ANDdddd that would be the point that I drop the F-bomb on the parents as in "What the F is wrong with you? clean up your F'in mess, GD it! Honestly, do you have NO respect for me and the requests I make?"

I've already done that. Several times already. Unfortunately, he's on the phone with my brother which means doing it at the moment is a no go. He's just completely deliberately unawares.

I'm just tired.
pick up the peanuts and throw them at him. OR, pour yourself a drink and repeat to yourself "when he's in the home, there will be people to deal with him." My brother and I like that one.
As he wanders to the kitchen "Your cat knocks everything off, doesn't he?"
AHAHAHAHAHA!
I have no idea how my mother hasn't killed my father.
Nookie.
In all likelyhood, its the nookie.
I'm sorry to add this thought to your current woes.
The time when that might have scarred me for life has long since passed.
