Most parents want their children to live with them for as long as possible, but one angry mother couldn’t contain her disgust and said she wanted to kick her son out of the house.
The mother took to Mumsnet and revealed how ‘lazy’ and ‘disgusting’ her son is and how hard it is to live with him.
She said that her 20-year-old son is studying to become a personal trainer but she thinks that he is not committed to his chosen career path because “he doesn’t eat properly or train.”
“He has always been lazy, he never bothered with school (he went, but only did what he needed to do), he doesn’t care about how he looks, spends all his money on s*** (thankfully not alcohol or drugs, but computer games, crisps, sweets, fizzy pop, biscuits etc) and generally just acts extremely immature,” the mother wrote.
“His room is disgusting and I mean disgusting.
“Whenever he opens his bedroom door, the smell that comes from it is terrible and even my younger children complain about it.”
She continued: “He leaves clean clothes which I’ve washed and ironed on the floor in a pile, mixed with dirty clothes.
“He takes food upstairs and it gets left uneaten for days, so the plates are encrusted with food, he never uses a bin so the rubbish is scattered all over the floor.”
Aside from his bedroom, her son also shares a bathroom with his brother and always leaves “smelly towels,” empty soap, and shampoo bottles on the floor.
The frustrated mom also revealed that the 20-year-old “constantly argues” with her husband.
“This is something he has always done, and it doesn’t matter what we do/say to him it doesn’t make any difference,” she said.
“I have tried helping him clean the room, to show how lovely it can be when it’s nice, it doesn’t matter, I have tried not cleaning his clothes, he just wears dirty clothes and will take his dads socks/underwear and wear that.
“We have tried speaking to him in a calm manner (I have been in tears in front of him), it doesn’t work, I have screamed and shouted at him, it doesn’t matter, nothing works.”
Many people commented on her post, with one writing: “It’s ultimatum time. Give him two months to get his s*** together, to sort out his room, to start being a proper member of your family. He has an income, if he wants to live in a pig sty he can go rent a room somewhere.”
Another suggested: “You have a right to a pleasant peaceful home, your younger children deserve to live somewhere clean, tidy and not plagued by a selfish adult who causes arguments through his appalling disdain for your home and upsets you and your husband.”
A third said: “Call his bluff and stop giving him money at all. If he’s studying and working, he should be able to support himself and pay you rent.”
