Hi, I'm a 27 year old single woman, no kids.
Every summer, my Dad & Stepmom & two 17 year old twin brothers invite me to visit them for a few weeks. (I'm a school secretary with summers off). We get along GREAT.
The only problem is--they're all a bunch of SLOBS; and when I visit them, I become a "Live in Maid". They expect me to do everyone's laundry daily (washing & folding)-- and get offended if I dont want to. I also find myself washing a sink full of dishes twice a day, cleaning bathrooms, and vacuuming daily. Last summer, I got so tired of cleaning & cleaning that I went home early.
They've begged me to visit them--and I'll be going there in 2 weeks & staying 4 weeks. I dread the amount of housework I'll have to do!!
I dont mind cleaning up from time to time--but I feel like I'm cleaning up for an entire army unit.
HOW DO I EXPLAIN THAT I'M TIRED OF CLEANING UP AFTER THEM? AM I BEING UNREASONABLE?
I live my myself so I'm not used to cleaning for SO MANY people
