I just moved to an apartment with a decent sized balcony. I have shade a good part of the day, and the breeze is fantastic. I want furniture comfortable enough that I could fall asleep on. I’m not worried about functioning for eating or anything, but I’d at least like seating for 2. A hammock would eat up all my space with the stand, so that’s the only no go I have.

Any ideas?

You see, I need answers to my questions about this. I live in an ugly and slightly cluttered old house. We moved out of our apartment to live here, and since my Dad died and since his family is dead (well, mostly,) we kind of had to take it.You see, our downstairs is mostly renovated but upstairs is a mess. Full of unopened fire places that we can’t afford to put up, to an ugly linoleum kitchen with flickering lights. Our furniture is ugly, and my room is about the size of an elevator. I can’t wait until I turn 18, and I feel like it is unfair. All our neighbors think we’re bad people since our yard is the *nicest* on the block while their houses/yards are so clean. It’s not a fire hazard or anything, but it’s so ugly and tacky. My Mom can’t really part with clothes and furniture. My friends don’t live in MANSIONS but they have nice, clean and big houses. My house is averaged sized, but I don’t know what to do. Hopefully I’ll win the beauty pageant I entered, and go to Nationals and win the car, then sell it so I can fix up my house. I am thankful, but I am feeling somewhat depressed. Now my questions are.
1.) What should I do?
2.) How should I approach my Mom about this?
3.) Should I clean on my own?
4.) Do you ever feel ashamed of your house?

Good luck xoxo.
God bless xoxo.
I meant isn’t the *nicest* on the block sorry people!!!!

Good luck xoxo.
God bless xoxo.
Oh and sorry if the question is too long.

Good luck xoxo.
God bless xoxo.

My Fiancee and I live in a large apartment complex and have for more than a year. Randomly a month ago we were notified that a member from the township would be inspecting our apartment along with someone from our complex’s maintenance staff. My FI was home when the inspection occurred and the guy was very rude. He used a yardstick to measure all our furniture, looked in our kitchen cabinets, closets, etc. and was yelling that we have too much stuff/clutter. Now he’s coming back to re-inspect our apartment next week and I don’t know what to do. I’ve NEVER heard of a township official coming into your apartment (and no one came our first year there) and we may have a lot of unopened food in our cupboards and boxes for my FI’s home business, but we do not have anything that is a safety hazard or dirty and would attract rodents or bugs. The complex said if this guy deems our apartment "unsafe" we will have to pay a K fine per day and our lease will be terminated. Has anyone heard of this? I tried to Google it but nothing came up. I live in suburban Philadelphia.
It wasn’t because someone complained. The entire complex was inspected. I will Google the fire safety laws though. Thanks.

There are two other girls in our suite style apartment. Julie has agreed to buy the entertainment system and has already bought most of the kitchen appliances. She also wants to buy the TV and but not buy any of the living/dining room furniture. Julie thinks that the other room mate and I should split the costs of the furniture. The thing is, all of the things Julie is buying can be taken to her home after college. I will not be able to do anything with the crappy furniture after college- because who wants crappy furniture? In my opinion, it would be better to spend 00 on the TV and kitchen utensils than 0 of furniture. I feel like the other room mate and I are being taken advantage because she gets to buy the things that can be used after college. Should I just shut up and pay for the cheap furniture or stand up to her and try to work something else out? Any suggestions for a good outcome in this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. I live in an apartment. On thursday they found that my neighbor that lived opposite of me died. We had beenn smelling wierd smell four days before they found him. As the days passed the smell got worse. we couldnt figure it out. to me smelled like toilets or something. Well it turns out he died in sleep and was there for about a week before people found him. CSI came and cleaned up. burned his bed and carpet with chemcals. and left his window open to air out. His stuff is still in there. WEll i picked up and left with my kids and husband because we got creeped out an the smell got so much worse. I am now leaving that apartment. I cannot lie there any more. i cant be there knowing that smell came here.

my question is when the body is decaying and the smell came in our apartment could there be airborne diseases that i should be concerend about and if they are on all my stuff. second I am throwing away everything. all our clothes our furniture our entire kitchen stuff. Just keeping pictures, home videos and things that were same in closed boxes. Am i overexagerating or am i right to do this. keep in mind the smell is not going away and it was horrendously tramatic. I dont think smell will go away from anything fabric.

Are there any CSI or coroners that can answer this.
thanks

This apartment we looked at is a 3 bedroom 1 bath for 5 a month, they pay water,sewer,and trash, we pay Electric,phone,cable,internet,and so on. The rooms are pretty large,enough to get a king size bed and more furniture in. The kitchen is small hardly any storage,the dining room is a medium room,the living room is i think it’s huge, and the bathroom is small and the toilet needs to be replaced because the last tenant didn’t clean at all so they have to fix pretty much everything before we move in but other then that it’s a nice apartment, but do you think from what i said it’s worth 5 a month in Shippensburg,PA?

I’m recently divorced, and met a WONDERFUL man about a month ago. Things are going well, and we seem to be getting serious. Anyway, this guy is obviously well off and I don’t have much of anything. Like I said, I went through a divorce and moved into my apartment with my son’s furniture and a kitchen table. The rest has been graciously donated. He’s seen my apartment, and nothing has changed. He has to know that I’m not exactly living high on the hog. My question is this… he’s extremely financially responsible. I have bad credit and very little in savings. When should I tell him? It’s only been a month, but we are moving pretty quickly.

im 16 and i live in a small 1bedroom apartment now with my parents and i have to sleep in the living room! its kind of bordered off by furniture and book shelves so it looks like 2 separate rooms. theres still a dining area, kitchen and bathroom but theres no real good place to hang out (no sofa etc)
is this going to be a problem if i invite friends over (including girls)? i dont want to give them a bad impression that im poor or anything

I am moving within my current appartment complex to basically the same apartment just one that has been updated (new windows, hardwoods refinished, kitchen and bathroom). The problem is that I want the apartment to look different than the one I have now. The apartment is small, 2 beds, 1 bath, tiny kitchen and dining area. If this gives you any idea they used to be ARMY barracks. I am considering buying new living room furniture, but is there other things that I can do to make the space look different? And some ideas of how to make my 10X15 living room double as a living and dining space. I really would like to make my dining room into an office.

My Wife and I have a short but colorful history:

I am 35, she is 24
I grew up in Florida, she grew up in Vermont

January 2006 - We met in Florida in school
April 2006 - Started dating, (we were both heavy drinkers and partiers, night clubs, beach bars, etc.)
August 2006 - Found out she was pregnant
September 2006 - I tried to take care of my credit card debt or ,000 by calling a "Debt Consolidation" firm
December 2006 - Moved up to Vermont to be close to her family
January 2007 - Found out that my identity had been stolen and my credit cards were maxed out. I now am in ,000 in credit card debt. Plus our school loans. ,000
April 2007 - Our daughter was born

The first year we tried really hard and I worked as a waiter, she stayed home to raise our daughter. We had financial difficulties throughout the year, I obviously wasn’t paying the credit cards or school loans, we barely made rent each month.

January 2008 - My wife found God and became a born-again Christian.

March 2008 - After several attempts to control what had become a growing problem with alcohol I ended up going on a ten day drinking binge. She left to her parents house and I stayed in the apartment and tried to drink myself to death with wine and stayed drunk for ten days. My mother in-law ended up calling the police and they came to the apartment and found my laying on the floor naked and bloody, covered in my own urine and vomit. They took me away. I went to rehab for 21 days.

Since then I haven’t had a drink or touched any substance. (Almost ten months now)

April 2008 - I got out of rehab and we got married on April 15th. Shortly after we joined the local church and we were baptized together.

Over the summer of 2008 I was unemployed, we moved to a new apartment and started a new life. I felt like a new man and she seemed very happy.

August 2008 - Found a great new job with the promise of a life-long career building furniture. I am very happy and working quite a bit (6 days a week)

Since then money is still tight but getting better. My wife continues to stay home with our daughter, now 20 months. However, she is very upset with me about many things. I don;t chip in enough with the housework. I need to devote more of my free time to bible study, prayer, and devotionals. We need to tithe, (donate), more of my pay to the church. I stay up too late sometimes and when I am tired the next day my behavior reminds her of me being drunk. I forget to put my dirty socks in the hamper.

She claims that she has changed and become a Christian and I haven’t and it’s not good. However, since she’s Christian she can’t leave me because she made a promise top God. I want to stay together but I am having a hard time complying to all the rules of Chritianity. She has stopped wanting to kiss and be affectionate now, however, talks about having more kids still? Recently she told me that she actually never liked kissing in the first place. Also, she says she’s way too tired from being a homemaker to have a libido. I feel she gets enough sleep, she gets up at 9 or 10 AM and goes to bed at about 11 PM.

I don’t know what to do. Please, some advice!!
I wanted to add that I don’t think she loves me and feels that she really screwed up by getting with me in the first place. Now she’s poor and has a kid and is stuck with an old man. Also, she really wants a house now and wants me to pay the ,000 off and not claim bankruptcy. I have know idea how I would ever be able to. I make an hour before taxes. We’re on food stamps 2 a month though, which helps. She left me in October, went to her Mom and Dad’s, but then came back when she got in a fight with her Mom and realized she had no place to go. She just really can’t stand me, but at the same time is still planning a future and more children and stuff.

This is not meant to be accusative, only informative. I hear so much about how hard it is to be a stay-at-home spouse or parent, but I rarely hear details about what makes it so hard. I don’t pretend that it’s easy, but no one has ever taken the time to explain what they do.

So here’s another chance. Do they actually vacuum every day and cook three meals every day and do laundry every day? What are the chores that need to be done? Does everything really need to be done every single day?

For example, it’s my day off; I just cleaned the entire apartment (vacuumed the carpets, washed the bathrooms, wiped down the kitchen, dusted the furniture), and it’s not even 10 AM yet. If I were a stay-at-home spouse, I would be bored to tears until she comes home in 7 hours.

As a disclaimer, I don’t personally know any stay-at-homes, otherwise I would be asking them instead of Yahoo! Answers. No, I am not married, have four pets (2 cats, 2 dogs), no children, and I live with my girlfriend.
We both work (I have a traditional M-F, 8-5), and she works F-W afternoons & evenings.

Here’s are examples of absolutely USELESS responses: "Wait until you have kids, then you’ll know!" or "Why don’t you try taking care of my kids and see if you think it’s easy!"

I don’t suspect it’s easy, and I’m posting the question so that I don’t HAVE to find out everything by myself (isn’t that the point of Yahoo! Answers, anyway?).

I also don’t agree that it’s a 24/7 job (even if we had kids at home). My girlfriend and I both share household duties, but they’re split somewhat unequally based on what we prefer. I do the cooking (I enjoy it and I’m better at it), and she does the laundry (there was an incident where I had to use a mop and now I’m not allowed to touch the washer).
I imagine that when/if we ever get married/procreate that she may decide to stay home (I earn about twice as much as she does). But I’ve never felt that she should perform all the household chores by herself, only when I’m at work. When I get home, I expect to help out on chores that she can’t do or really didn’t have time for or really didn’t want to do (cooking, fixing car, taking out trash), as well as help take care of the kids.

So if her job is 24/7, then I would really have TWO jobs. An 8-5 outside the home, and the same job as her inside the home. Is this really that unusual to split the housework this way?

It’s true that I hadn’t distinguished between stay-at-home spouses and stay-at-home parents. That’s for you to disclose.

Maybe it’s because I saw how miserable my parents were when my father would come home from work and never do shit around the house while my mother worked part-time and took care of cooking, shopping and cleaning.
A lot of excellent responses already. My girlfriend and I have discussed this before, but I thought I’d reach out for input from those that have been there (her mother never stayed home either) to help alleviate my admitted lack of knowledge on the topic.

I also don’t mean to suggest that caring for children is easy or not-time consuming. I’ve babysat for kids before (ages 4-13) and it wasn’t difficult, but I concede that’s not all day, every day; they weren’t my kids, it was only for a few hours at a time, and none of them were infants.

I am moving out, but won’t be out for 2 more weeks. Long story short, I have an inconsiderate, disrespectful roommate and about a month and a half ago asked him to leave or else I would. This past Saturday he had a party and the next morning I found my scooter pushed over. The scooter is about 3 months old and was in perfect condition and while it’s just a scooter, still cost me over a grand. I confronted my roommate and he said he had nothing to do with it, it’s not his problem, and is disrespectful to me. So I call the police, fill out the report, and he won’t cooperate at all.

So now, legally, he’s safe. Later the same day I ask him if he’s going to fix the few things inside the apartment that got broken at the party and he agrees. Then I ask about my scooter and he says that it is outside and not his responsibility, if it was one of his guests, they can pay for the damages, if they want. At that point I tell him that he is no longer welcome to any of my possessions in the common area (I own most of the furniture and kitchen stuff) because he has no respect for my stuff. He replies with, "We’ll see."

I ended the conversation at that point because I didn’t want to lose my temper. How can I deal with this? Can I legally do anything if he continues to use my stuff without permission? I don’t want to get into any legal trouble myself but what can I do to protect my possessions?
