I’M SORRY TO SAY

I’m very lazy with house chores, except when I’m doing it in a very comfortable atmosphere assisting someone. Alongside this I have a very bad habit of valuing my privacy and enjoying my space, that is why I don’t really fancy friends coming around to a good extent. Not because I don’t want them to come, but because sooner or later I would want to be alone and they will be getting in the way. Sometimes in order not to make it look odd, I will make them feel comfortable and pretend to go out only for me to just take a stroll in order for me to have my alone time. Although this works for me, the need to be alone at home is still there. I don’t like being alone always, but there are times I like to reflect for at least 2 hours a day.

This is the major reason I am very careful with the kind of people I allow to stay with me and also pay very close attention to why they are staying. It’s not because I’m wicked, but because I always want to be able to see my home as a home and a place I will always look forward to.I remember last year a friend of mine was having accommodation issues, because Of how close we were I found it difficult to ignore her in that challenging period. Because she was a girl, I decided to help her find accommodation with some of my female friends, but was unsuccessful.

The day she was sent parking out of her place ,she had to come live with me as an emergency solution. I had some plans to set up an accommodation for her, but regretted letting her stay for the meantime. The first reason was because she saw me as a big brother and became too comfortable for my liking. Not that I didn’t want her to be comfortable, but she wasn’t respecting boundaries people of the opposite sex should respect and it got me pissed. Another thing was that she was so dirty and on multiple occasions would turn my house upside down. At one point my house became uncomfortable to live in.

This is one of the major reasons I don’t allow long visits talkless taking care of an elderly person. Elderly people can behave like children on different occasions expecting that you still respect them. When I was younger, My grandma came to live with us being sick. It was the first and last time I saw her because my parents had to send her parking after a week, realizing that it’s difficult to train Children and old people in the same house. Since after seeing some characters she exhibited and was told it was as a result of age, I decided if my parents should get to that age, I would prefer taking them to a retirement home with well trained professionals to look after them plus it would be a grate opportunity for them to bond with elderly people their age.
