Roomate Has a Dog & There Is Dog Hair EVERYWHERE! I Asked Her to Clean It as She Is Home All Day & She Doesnt?

May 2, 2009

in fact, she does nothing all day a load of dishes, doesn't clean the counters, mop floors, etc nor does she do yard work but rather sits watches TV or reads while sipping her wine. I work a full time job I am tired when I get home. She told me when we decided to move in togheter she would clean & cook dinner. She has cooked on a handful of occassion. I subtly suggested brushing the dog she said "I just did that" but it needs to be done daily as does the dusting of the floors. When I spoke with her about the problem I was having with the hair & the fact that she really needed to clean it up everyday she seemed annoyed with me the rest of the night. There have also been some other issues that I feel she should take care of since she is home, & issue with the neighbor I had to handle & an issue with our lawn care provider I had to handl. I had been living along for 20 yrs. Is it just me, or is she just plan lazy? What to do. I don't want her but mad but cant live like this eithe

That is the kind of info I am looking for.

The issue is the roomate and her lack of responsibility for household things. I am by no means a clean freak, but when there is hair in the fridg, etc it is too too much. And the fact that she is home all day and does nothing (she is supported by her ex husband thru alimony). I enjoy her personally, she is great, but she is lazy and I dont' know how to approach her as it seems that when I have talked with her, she gets mad. The issue with the lawn guy ended in us arguing because I thought he should come 3 times a month so when he was there, I was at work, I asked her to talk with him about it. When I got home, she said her told her no, he was comeing 4 times a month. I was like WHAT, he told you????? She said "I did nt best I could" She just doesn't handle things. It is creating more responsibility for me and I have enought with an ailing mother and a 24 year old disabled son, not to mention full time work
Relationship: If my roomate worked full time, I would be more inclined to split the dog thing with her, and other issues that come up at home while I am at work, but she doesnt. SHE IS HOME ALL DAY watching TV reading and drinking wine. I spend the majority of my time at home in my room. I do mop the bathroom DAILY as it is another room we share and I hate having dog hair all over, plus her sticky hairspray which then plasters the hair to everything. But I feel like she is home and I am not and I might as well live alone. I thought that this would releive some responsibility. I'd like to keep her as a roommate but something has to change and I just need some ideas about how to approach her so she isn't upset and can see where I come from..Am I being unreasonable?

This isn't about the dog. Either resolve your differences or move out.
