Wow to both of those.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

I hate both your therapists on your behalfs. I have therapy today. I am proposing to go on mom strike, I hope she agrees. Cooking for OR cleaning up after Mac is my proposal. Doing both, in my mind, is creating a selfish hellish being. Taking care of 2 pets, my job, myself, and a medium size house is already too much. He is currently like an unpleasant smelly large pet.

Good luck with that, msbelle. That definitely sounds like way too much for you to do all on your own. He's gotta pitch in, however you can convince him.

That description made me laugh.
Ok, so the estimate is 2.7k, right in line with what others got quoted. Am thinking about not bothering with another estimate. Will have to get someone to drywall the ceiling and walls after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Sara.
Cooking for OR cleaning up after Mac is my proposal.
In my childhood house, the person who made dinner did not clean up after. And I did the family laundry starting in 5th grade.

That is not as bad as I feared, sarameg.

Why would I want to be hot, dirty and naked with strangers.
I prefer the heat and dirt in such situations to be generated via friction rather than being in a 100°+ dust bowl.

One of those you could just drop off at the pound if it got to be too much. People tend to frown on doing so with teenagers, though I imagine most can sympathize with the urge.

In my house there were three kids, so generally mom (who was a stay at home mom) cooked, one kid put things in the dishwasher, one did pots and pans by hand, and one wiped the table/Swept the floor. I started doing laundry when I was maybe 12. Maybe younger. And when I was in high school mom went back to grad school so we all had to cook some

Holy crap, Rob Ford was only 46? I'd have guessed like 60.
I suspect the only thing I'd learn about myself at Burning Man is precisely how long it would take me to snap. 20 minutes? An hour? A mystery I may never solve.

There were three of us and we cleaned up after dinner about as far back as I remember. Laundry was done for the household, not individually, but we took turns at it. Also took our turns cooking, although mom did proportionally more especially when we were younger. People cleaning up after me makes me really uncomfortable (except in the I cook, you wash-up scenario, which just seems right and proper).
Some things we are better off not knowing, brenda. Exactly how long before you snap is probably one of those.
