I’ve realized I am really bothered by passive voice in cleaning with people I live with. “I am going to do the dishes tonight” - great “Eric, would you take out the trash tonight please?” - that’s fine! I probably would have taken it out if I had realized it was full. I’m an adult and this is my house, I try to keep it clean. “We need to clean up around here!” - What does that mean? Do you want me to clean? Are you going to clean? I thought things were pretty clean, is there something specific that needs cleaning?

Also me and my mom can’t live together because we do dishes differently. I am a “fill and start the dishwasher” person and she is a “Empty the sink” kind of person.

    We want you to do a bunch of plumbing stuff to our bathroom sink and stuff.

    (Get there)

    Oh yeah, we left our towels and shampoo bottles and beer cans and washcloths and kitty litter and crap and underwear and socks all over the fucking place. Sorry about that. Just push that aside.
