How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Boys In The Suburbs

in Everyday on

Today I bring you the humour of a new writer at How To Survive Life In The Suburbs, the guest writing of Sassygirlfriend and her unique perspective on all things on living the life….with boys in the suburbs.

 

1) If the dishwasher is full please do not play Jenga in the sink with the rest of the dishes. You are chipping the plates and bowls. Rinse and stack. Think I mentioned this yesteday and the 363 days prior.

2) Pressing start on a clean load of dishes in the dishwasher is not fooling anyone. It’s a $1600 brand new machine. I’m fairly certain it works. Unload and reload. Sigh.

3) If I have a migraine it is not a licence to abandon the rules. I don’t particularly like coming downstairs finding my home looking like a frat house has been over and had a party.

4) If there is pee on the toilet seat, wipe it up!!!!! As a single Mom with two boys, I am confident that it is anatomically impossible that I am responsible.

 

5) I can hear you and your friends use the downstairs bathroom. The sign is self explanatory.

 

6) Dirty clothes don’t go behind the bathroom door, just like they didn’t yesterday.

7) Your hockey bag doesn’t get dropped 2 feet front the front door. It smells….BAD! Also, scooters, skate boards, pogo sticks and roller blades live in the garage too.

8) See number 7. You can’t go a WHOLE hockey season and not wash your jersey and socks. The white things downstairs are the washer and dryer. Heck throw the equipment in too. And no, Frebreeze is not a miracle spray.

9) The remotes go in the basket on the coffee table. I actually don’t enjoy a good game of find the remote because believe it or not, finding crap in the couch just leads me into another rant.

10) If you offer to make dinner, can we please have a side dish and a vegetable. The plate of meatballs and last night’s sausages in a bowl were disgusting. Are you both cavemen?

    3. My hubby loves that damn remote and you just can’t watch a show with him because he is forever changing channels…..like honestly he watched 2 or 3 shows at a time

    6. LOL!! #9 The remote is always in hubby hand or near him. If I ask him he will change the station if not actually watching anything.
