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?
LOL at #11
Ha! I have no boys myself but I feel that I am married to one. Thanks for this!
Jenga and dishes sounds like fun
Dish Jenga could never be a good idea!
This is comical and sad all in one because my mother never would have let the kids get away with that. As a matter of fact my mother taught all of us all to cook and clean because she was a single mother that went to school and worked and just didn’t have time to do it all. She made a schedule and if the jobs weren’t done then we were grounded with no TV, no radio or anything else, we just read books because everything was taken away. But kids get away with everything today, which is a shame and the results are even worse with kids living with their parents even in their 30’s.
