so my mum has been away for the whole weekend and so me and my brother had to look after the house I done most of the cleaning even there was not much mainly dishes so I think that certify me as an responsible adult hehe
 
Ha ha! Just don't do what I did when my parents went away for a week when I was a teenager... I thought I'd give everything in the house a spring clean. They'd always grumble at me for not being tidy, so this time I was going to earn lots of brownie points! I spent all weekend cleaning! Everything was spotless -- inside and out.

The first thing they did after coming in the front door is drop their bags and boil the kettle for a coffee. They sat down, screamed, spewing out coffee over the brand new white carpet in the lounge. And lost the plot. Yes... I'd descaled the kettle and forgotten to empty the fluid.

I'd spent all weekend cleaning the house, yet my parents were furious at me for nearly poisoning them and for ruining the carpet. Sometimes you just can't win. :dunno: :laugh:
 
Haha....my parents would never have trusted me enough to leave me in the house alone when I was 18. Also, I was an inept idiot. I don't think I knew how to cook anything other than toast in the toaster.
 
I need to start doing the dishes =/
I never do them.

A trick I have with dishes, since I live on my own, every single item I use, when I'm finished, I clean it, just an habit I took, takes 2-3 minutes, I can't stand to have dirty dishes in my sink or anywhere...
 
What a coincidence. I was alone with my brother a week ago. Parents went away for a few days and I was responsible for the whole house. I want that certificate too :D I was cooking, washing dishes, vaccuum cleaning, watering plants, everything needed. I could have a party instead but no I'm responsible...And this is much more valuable to me. The result is parents believe me and give me a freedom.
 
Haha. Must've been awesome. I remember when I was 17 my mom went to Florida for 3 weeks and it was just me and my caretaker in the house. I had a lot of fun but after 3 days I started to miss her.

yeh the house did feel a bit emty
 
I feel this is basically this entire thread: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html
:D

Also, all I can think right now is the scene from Doctor Who - for those who don't know, he has a fancy bit of paper that is blank, but to the person looking at it, it'll appear to either be whatever they need to see to let the Doctor do his thing (badge, letter of authority, etc), OR whatever the Doctor declares it to be (certificate, etc). Whatever his lie, the paper will change to support it.

He's talking to a child, pulls out the paper, and declares "I think you'll find I'm universally recognised as a mature and responsible adult!"
Child: It's just a bunch of wavy lines.
Doctor: It it? Darn, must've shorted out. Finally, a lie too big.

:lol:

There's a window of opportunity for parents. If you have a reasonably normal responsible kid, you can leave them alone for half a day or so from around 9-13. Then when the hormones kick in, you can't can't leave them home unsupervised again until maybe.... 30.

Mrs. Maxx complains that I don't. What she doesn't realize is that I would if given a chance. She's so twitchy that she runs around trying to wash everything immediately. Problem is, she does everything 'real quick' (her phrase "I'm just going to do ______ real quick"), so there's always gunk on the plates, and often as not I'll get a shower taking a cup out of the cabinet. I rewash everything when she's not looking, and keep a few clean coffee cups and pint glasses stashed in the man cave so I know I'll always have one when I need it.

She's like that with everything. In fall, she runs around trying to catch the leaves before they hit the ground as if she's afraid someone is going to steal them, then complains I never do the raking.

Haha....she can come to my house during Fall. I have to pay someone to deal with the leaves. I could rake them, but there's no place to go with them other than to bag them, and Lynchburg charges a dollar a bag to collect them. So my guys grind them to smithereens with their giant lawn tractor.

Done and done. She can dash around your house with a net for a few days catching leaves, I can get some stuff done without the play-by-play and unhelpful suggestions...while diapered.

Edit: Unless I'm stuck with Juno like today. Sleeping in front of the refrigerator in case of snacks. At least she's not as bad as the birds... they'll swoop right in and steal out of your mouth!

Haha. Sounds like you're trying to get rid of her, at least for a while. Mrs. Maxx would have to get used to my dog. She's a crazy dog and loves to pounce on anyone who visits.
