do you see this as a bad child hood?




starting at birth i’m the youngest of 3 and i was also the "mistake" child my siblings are 14 and 10 years older than me my dad smoked and drunk and was 49 when i was born and my mom was 33

3 years old is as far back as i can remember first of all i lived in the same house from birth all the way to 13 and it was a last minute whim because they had to move for more space for me and they had a really nice place and the day before they moved the landlord made my dad give the keys back because he heard around the neighbor hood my dad was a drug dealer but that was his best friend not him so my dad’s friend fixed a house up in two weeks the house had no installation in the walls was bug infested had mold all over it one outlet in each room and was very unhealthy and to top if off my dad smoked in the house so the walls where tinted yellow my dad slept on the couch i shared a room with my mom until i was six because we only had 3 small bedrooms and when my sister moved out my mom took her room my brother got the biggest room and i was stuffed in the smallest corner room i remember eating peanut butter and jelly and kool aid for lunch every day until i was about 5 or 6 when i was 7 and 8 my parents where always at work so i had to tag around with my brother who would play basket ball at the park with his friend till like 10 o clock and always told me i was to little to play then when i was 5-7 my mom was in and out of the hospital and my dad raised us in that time and he was an acholac so when we were waking up for school he was just getting home from the bar when i was 7 my dad told my mom that he didn’t want us talking to my sister any more becuase her new boyfriend was a recoved fellon and he heard alot of rumors about him (he was really a nice guy) so my mom would take me and we would have to sneek around to see her and my dad had his friends all around the neigbor hood watching and he heard that he moved in with her so he made my mom walk with him one time at like midnight to see if his car was there and another time i went with him and he told me we were going out to get breakfast then my dad later died when i was 9 and my brother was pissed and him and my mom fought almost every day and she kicked him out one night and the cops brung him home and my mom told them he wasn’t wlecomed here so he had to go to my sisters for the night then when he was 20 our mom got a boyfriend and when my brother was 21 she kicked him out so her boyfriend could move in and my brother had to go to my aunts and i was moved out the big room to the corner room again but now it was smaller because my brother had his stuff in the closet and i didnt even have a dresser i just had a shelf with my clothes on it and i was always finding bug in my room we also lived in a high crime neigbor hood and i remember we use to put plastic over our windows that where cracked and repared with duck tape even thow i didnt care i never got a gift i wanted or a card or any thing and my parents couldn’t even afford coats for us and we never had a matching furniture set or cable and almost every thing in our house was from off the curb and i was offen bored because even though i had older siblings they where gone and why would they want to play with some one so much youger

Professional house cleaning?




I will be moving out of my rental home in July. Ill be 8 months pregnant and i know im not going to want to be cleaning with chemicals and ill just be too tired to. The house is like 800 sqf. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath living room, and kitchen. All of my stuff will be out so there will be no furniture to work around. But my question is how much do you think it would cost to clean up the place? I was thinking about going through Merry maids.

the agent inspected it and told me it was my fault because i do not open the windows therefore iam the one causing it so i should be responsible for cleaning it.

if iam responsible for cleaning it. i have no problem doing it. i do not want to do it if its the agents responsibility..

I signed a lease to rent a property after viewing it once with the landlord. During the viewing, the family who lived there were in - their stuff was everywhere and the house looked in need of decoration but otherwise ok. I got the keys today - its awful! The furniture was hiding big holes in the wallpaper and mould in the kitchen. The bath panelling is cracked. The carpets are dirty and stained and the house is not clean. I was told that the house would be redecorated and cleaned before I moved in. This hasn’t happened. They now say they will paint and redecorate the two bedrooms but the rest of the house is still horrible. Is there any way out of this. Its costing me £450 per month! I’d appreciate any advice as I’m just feeling so down and sick at the thought of living there.

I know that in a small appt./house there should be a harmony of colors even when somebody paitnts different rooms in different colors..I am going to buy a three bedroom appt.I have, so far,made up my mind to follow a cream and coffee/chocolate brown color scheme for my drawing room. The drawing - dining room is of "L" patteren, so I have to choose the same color scheme for the adjacent dining room too.I ‘ve a lot of accessories,furnitures.tablewares to match the scheme.So I don’t want to change my mind about the color scheme.But I do not want to follow the same for all of my three bedrooms, kitchens and bathroom.This is quite boaring.IAM FOND OF PASTELS.Please suggest me some other color scheme that will go well with the color of drawing -dining area.(this area is the common place from every room and naturally the largest open place.So by standing there every room should look harmonious in color scheme. ).Pls no yellow(except for kitchen)&blue(except for bathroom).
Thank u

Charging rent for roomate?




My sis and I are moving into an apartment that has 3 bedrooms. We need another tenant and one of my best girlfriends told us she was in, but right now she lives in a sorority and has an obligation to stay there until the end of the school year so for a month it will just be 2 of us. I have the master so I said I would pay more a month and she could pay less since she has the small room. We are bringing in all the furniture/kitchen needs and the washer and dryer. She has to pay her part of the deposit up front. But, should I be charging her more since she will be using our washer and dryer and kitchen/living room furniture? and — Should I tell her that she has to pay the first month’s rent or at least pay it back eventually? It makes sense to do that since im technically holding it for her for a month, but I don’t have anyone else lined up who could move in right away. I’m afraid if I make it more expensive for her she will back out and then we will be screwed to pay rent

Why can’t he see it is unhealth for me?




I have lived with a man for 6 years. 5years ago he tore the inside of the house out. We only have a family room that is almost done. My kitchen is only 3 foot wide, no table, the bedrooms have no walls or doors, and his cats have used the whole house as their litter box. I am now dying from all the poisons of the urine on the furniture and the kerocene he uses to heat the house. I have been trying to move out, but he has also taken my money. Even the doctors have told him of my health is due to the house.

I have an employee who purchased a condominium 6 months ago. He’s married with 2 young boy 4-12. This family arrived from China about 6 years ago. They’re somewhat fluent in English. Anyway, their condominium neighbor is missing a nut in the head, this man harasses my employee and his family each single morning when they leave for work, he screams at them, threats them etc. I told my employee to call the police, we’ve tried to go threw the condo administration but they don’t want to get involved. Turns out the police don’t want to get involved either. These people live in terror, they have moved all their livingroom and kitchen furniture upstairs and basically live in their bedrooms.

What’s our next option?
