Why I Need to Move Out of a Place I Live in Practically for Free: A Brief Study

[creativexangst]

So in this economy, finding a job is hard enough...but finding a place to live thats not at home with Ma and Pa when your broke and fresh from college is just as hard. So why, when I have discovered the cornucopia of post-grad living would I want to leave? Good questions says I

So they're storing dirty diapers IN the changing station?

Also, why is a 3 year old still in diapers?

This is everything I was going to ask.

My mom still complains that I refused to potty train until almost 3, but a full-on 3 year old getting changed that much? And leaving human feces everywhere? What the hell!

[creativexangst]

I just replied to that :D See above (?)

Yep. And thats my thoughts exactly. He does test as autistic, but when you take him to a bathroom, he knows exactly what to do, he'll just do #1 not #2. Unfortunately, only his babysitter, myself, or the school does it on a really regular basis.

He'll be 4 in 4 months.

I was scrolling and was about to suggest buying the mom a diaper genie and then I saw it and was like 'omg... wtf?!?!?!' Pure laziness, it's disgusting.

[creativexangst]

Yea, I know. My sister and brother in law lived with me for a while and they cloth diapered, and had to use a laundry mat because we didnt have a washer...and it NEVER smelled this bad. There's ways to handle it.

Well, I assume they're exhausted. But there's no excuse for leaving a dirty diaper laying around for a WEEK. How could the smell not offend them?

[creativexangst]

Oh thats a collection of 2 weeks worth. Mostly they're pee diapers! That makes it better right?

Im sure they're exhausted, after Jr. goes down at 8 they stay up until at least 1 AM playing video games and watching movies! How could you not be tired after that?

How old are these people?
At least be responsible enough to want to create a sanitary environment for your child. Damn.
I couldn't ignore those if I were you. I know what one diaper smells like let alone several diapers that have been sitting there for weeks.

[creativexangst]

I just really really really dont want to take responsibility for someone elses actions like this. Im sure I'll give in this weekend or something and do it but until that point...

She's 33 and hes 35.

Honestly, were I you, I'd just throw on a pair of gloves, grab a trash bag and pitch it all. I mean, IMO, it's a small price to pay for free rent.

[creativexangst]

Yes, but when I say I do chores, I mean, I do all the chores. I clean up after the kid, cook, do dishes, clean the kitchen, sweep, vaccum, clean both bathrooms once a week and after all that, I think the least they can do is throw out their kids diapers, especially since the diaper genie makes it so easy to do. BUT, if it doesnt happen this weekend, thats EXACTLY what I plan to do. It'll at least make it obvious that its an issue.

I admit, sometimes after my husband or I change one of our toddlers (18mo and 2.5) diapers, we forget to throw it away for about a half hour or overnight if it's a "I am sleeping, but still need to change a kid" moment. But that. That is foul and WRONG. Omfg.

[creativexangst]

Once, when I changed my nephew, I put the diaper on an end table in the kids play room. I forgot about it until around 2 AM when I woke up and remembered so I went down and threw it out.

Forgetting once in a while, or even letting them sit overnight, I can understand...but...

[coffee_bean89]

I feel gross when I see a diaper that I changed the night before, and away into the trash it goes. That's not the best ideal situation, but with two kids+ or you're not at all used to kids, it's acceptable.
