I need a drink.


So you know what you do when you have been working hard on your school work, your house is dirty and Murphy's Law has been following you around all day?...You sit down, relax and have yourself a nice glass, 3/4 of a bottle in my case, of champagne.

mmm....yum...so good. My favorite kind of cheap champagne!

Now if you're under 21 and live in the US then you shouldn't be doing this because it is illegal. ;-)

How to Make a Man to Clean up After Himself | eHow.com


Things You'll Need:

  • Persistence
  • Self-control
  • The patience of a saint

Instructions


  1. Tell, don't ask. If you ask a man to clean up the dirty dishes he's left strewn all over the living room, the typical response will be, "Yeah, in a minute" and then thirteen commercial breaks have passed and your living room still looks like a kitchen. Instead of asking him, tell him. They're like little kids this way. They respond much better to instruction.

  2. Avoid cleaning up after him. Let him take responsibility for the messes. Even if it takes all your will-power not to chase after him and pick up, refuse to do it. Otherwise, he'll keep depending on you to clean up his messes.

  3. Leave messes of your own. Just to see how he likes it. Giving him a taste of his own medicine normally works like a charm.

  4. Leave his messes in an obvious place where he cannot ignore him. This will always get their attention and they can no longer use the excuse, "I forgot." If he's notorious for leaving his laundry everywhere, leave it on his office desk so he has to clean it up. Or leave his dirty dishes in his underwear drawer. It may seem a bit extreme, but you'll definitely get him to sit up and take notice.

Oops. I think he heard us!



So GiGi and I were discussing the topic our new blog, The Adventures of Living with College Boys, and I'm pretty sure one our male house mates heard us. Whoops. But you can hear just about anything in this house, even a small whisper. We just don't want to have to already put an end to this blog. This is kind our own little secret blog to about what it's like to live as college student....WITH BOYS.

Now, I'm not saying all men live this way but we have some pretty messy house mates that just don't clean up after themselves. Day after Day, Pizza box after Pizza box. Like today for example, Pizza box with crust still in it on the kitchen table. They already have a random garbage bag of pizza boxes literally 4 feet away from from kitchen table. C'mon boys, you were almost there!

Anyways, more to come....hopefully they didn't hear us.
