How Was Your Day?

Hmmm, a fun day had by all *insert heavy sarcasm here

My little monster angel drove me absolutely bonkers all day.  Since he was told to go to his room 2 hours and not to return until the morning, I can think of the events of the day with a clear head.  He was extremely super hyper.  I was already in a bad mood to begin with.

Pops really really really ticks me off.  I love him dearly.  But he still pisses me off.  He does absolutely nothing around the house.  Seriously, nothing.  He's worse than DJ.  I understand he's unhappy.  He's been depressed ever since he and my mother split up (6+ years ago.)  He doesn't take care of himself.  He doesn't take care of anything around here and my biggest complaint...he doesn't shower. 

He spent the whole day (morning, noon and night) at the kitchen table.  Subtract the 1 hour he took to go to the store and the 15 minutes he was in the shower-finally.  Did not lift one little finger to do anything!

I'm really fed up.  His bathroom was DISGUSTING.  I don't know the last time he cleaned or if he ever cleaned it.  I spent 1 hour cleaning his bathroom.  Yes, one hour cleaning a BATHROOM.  I didn't even touch the tub or the sink.  I'm just talking about the toilet area.  How gross. 

This is a day on a weekend (or a day when Pops is off) at my house.  BTW, he sleeps at my kitchen table.  I guess I can understand it if you haven't washed your sheets for months.  But, hey, they don't come clean on their own.  You actually need to take them OFF the bed and throw them in the washer.  Trust me, the sheets will appreciate it.  I'll greatly appreciate. 

He wakes up for a bit and wants to watch TV.  DJ is playing video games on the TV.  He'll tell DJ to go play on the computer or something.  So DJ will go in the bedroom he was supposed to share with Pops.  But then after about 1/2 hour, Pops decides he wants to lay down on the bed.  He kicks DJ out the room because he makes too much noise.  DJ comes back in and plays video games or something else.  Then Pops wakes up and bitches because he can't watch TV because DJ monopolizes the television.

I really think Pops contributes greatly to how DJ acts.  During the week when it's just us, he is much more calmer.  On days when Pops is off or the weekends, he's just out of control.  I really wish I never asked him to move in.  Though before I asked him to move in, I was over his house every weekend because he needed company.  I was getting nothing done here at my apartment.

Seriously, it's just a vicious circle.  When you try to tell Pops something, he gets pissed.  The only thing he does around here is puts the dishes in the dishwasher after dinner on the weekends.  I get to turn it on.  I do trash, cooking, cleaning, vacuuming, picking up, etc, etc. 

I had to do all this today.  I'm tired.  I'm sore.  I'm not doing this anymore.  This cooking crap.  I had to call PIC up to come over and do the stuffing and mashed potatoes so I could actually take a shower. 

I just want to run away from home!

Oh thank you so much for your suggestion! I didn't think it was hokey at all. I mean, we're talking about a two year old here. Nothing is too silly or hokey for them. I'm going to try that. Thank you! Hopefully I can get some sleep now...

Sorry to hear your Thanksgiving Day was so shitty! Maybe Pops needs to go to an adult assisted-living facility where he can make some friends.
