my family sucks
I just wanted to rant about something that has been on my mind lately but im a 16 f who lives in a big family my mother, step father, older brother and 3 step siblings. We have this problem this big problem in our house and it all started from a small vacation to a family friends house we stayed at a little while ago. Everything was cool everything was fine but they did have something in their house that bothered me, they had cockroaches. Of course I didn’t say anything cause I figured they were probably struggling with it and trying to get rid of them. But when we left their house and returned back home I don’t think everyone took the time to shake out everything from their bags because a week later we started seeing small little bugs in our house. My families house is clean its never cluttered or anything its well maintained and when my mom started seeing them she of course started deep cleaning the house more often to try and make them go away but they just wouldn’t. (Shes a clean freak so this REALLY has been bothering her too.) Then more time goes by and we start seeing more and more in more places and we start seeing full grown cockroaches and they’re genuinely SO DISGUSTING. I cant even turn on the kitchen light without seeing them scatter on the floors, the counters and sometimes on the wall. Me and my mother have been trying to keep the place clean and spray bug spray and everything trying everything we see online but you know why it never works? My older brother, my step father and of course my little siblings have to always leave behind a mess. My older brothers room is always cluttered and he always has cups and bowls out cause he’s too lazy to walk upstairs and put them in the sink. Same for my stepfather. He also never cleans up after himself when he eats or when he cooks for himself or for his kids food. He always leaves the mess for me or my mother to clean. Its even worse when he’s drunk. And of course my little siblings they’re still so young so they leave food messes everywhere and i cant spend all day picking stuff up and cleaning every hour and my mom works almost all day so its basically just me I feel so trapped and disgusting i cant even invite friends over for sleepovers im scared what they’ll think, the best I can do is keep my room spotless which I always do and clean the kitchen and living room 2 or 3 times a day cause i cant clean the entire house that amount of times every single day. Idk what to do anymore lol✌️✌️
