This is how we never FIGHT in Second 1st

This is how we don’t fight.....yet when I feel like it is a battle I win. The other day when we were talking about Sammy and his not doing basic home things I had told Rocky that I felt like I couldn’t say anything to Sammy because I don’t say anything to him. I know he doesn’t even realize how often dishes get done. They just ARE ya know.
This morning he was still awake when I got up. I have told him before after 2:30 don’t come to bed till I get up cause he wakes me and I can’t get back to sleep because I’m too busy calculating how much time I have left. It’s irritating and though he nearly ignores it most days he stayed up today. I got up and started a load of laundry before I was even dressed and he kinda followed into the laundry room. I asked him calmly but did not wait for an answer “How long have you been watching TV? because this is what I was saying the other day. You don’t usually stay awake this long but this is the perfect example. You watched TV for how long but here it is just after 4am and I’m going to do dishes before I leave for work” He did this annoying wide eyed thing he does when he’s irritated but he didn’t say anything. How could he? I”m right. There is no other way for him to argue that. I won’t fight until I know there is no way I’d lose. How can he ask Sammy to clean up after himself if he doesn’t?

You're too nice... they're both able bodied adults and should contribute to household chores. We'd be all kinds of fighting if it were me lol.

oooh boy. This sounds a lot like the thoughts I was having today while at work. Not about Pam and I (I'm a really lousy housekeeper here at home. Who wants to clean when they've been cleaning for 8 hours?) but the thoughts about "The Gross House". The parents (especially the mom) got everything handed to her on a silver platter (her 'rents are millionaires) so someone else did the laundry and cleaning. Her husband is just lazy when it comes to anything around the house. He's the one that leaves dirty socks all over the place. So of course their kids live by example.
I just want to leave a note for them "If you dirty a dish, at least rinse it off so I don't have to get a hammer and chisel to get the damn fruity pebbles off the bowl" lol omg I swear.
