Woman Gets Housed By Her Mom And Sister, As A “Thank You” She Turns Their Home Into A Landfill

Personally, I don’t like cockroaches because they scuttle around on their tiny legs and run fast before you can take them down. It’s not like I have anything against bugs, but I am pretty sure that nobody likes having these little monsters in their house.

Even this lady absolutely freaked out after she spotted four cockroaches in her home, all thanks to her sister, who turned everything into an unhygienic mess. Sick of cleaning up all her trash, Reddit user Radiant_Pop_2218 considered charging her a fee for it. Here’s what actually happened…

    She wondered whether she should start charging her sister a clean-up fee, since she knew their mom would never kick her out

    Dear readers, be warned that you might be disgusted by today’s story, as the original poster (OP) tells us about the unhygienic mess she has gotten herself into. She and her mom moved into a new, spacious, and clean house, which was a huge upgrade from all the dirty apartments they had lived in previously. They were infested with bugs, and OP had nightmares about them.

    However, their new place was kept clean until the poster’s sister and her kid asked to live on their property. The only reason she got permission was that she would bring her RV, rather than stay in the house. Little did OP know that it would turn into a huge mistake, because the woman almost took up residence inside after staying outside for just four days.

    She sparked trouble by turning the whole home into a trash can. There were food crumbs all over, with unwashed utensils, bandages, soiled diapers, wrappers, and even toys just spread out everywhere on the floor. Sounds like a hygiene freak’s worst nightmare, doesn’t it? The worst part is that she never cleaned up, so OP and her mom had to do it every time.

    However, the poster finally lost it after she spotted 4 roaches in the house! Considering her severe anxiety and paranoia about bugs, her meltdown was completely understandable. Unfortunately, they couldn’t hire an exterminator as her sister had racked up bills by overusing all the utilities. Well, OP was considering charging her a clean-up fee, so she vented online.

    Netizens instantly sided with the poster, and some were quite disgusted by the sister’s messy way of living. What was more shocking, and also highly concerning, was that she was raising a child in these unhygienic conditions. Research has shown that a dirty home can cause stress and anxiety among kids who grow up in it. 

    Moreover, studies suggest that exposure to cockroach allergens can exacerbate existing respiratory conditions and increase the risk of developing asthma in children. That’s not all, as it has been observed that cockroach infestations in walls, flooring, and insulation can cause minor structural issues as they burrow and create nests, especially in hollow or damp areas.

    Well, it seems like the woman’s unhygienic lifestyle is not only harming her own kid but also destroying her sister’s home. Another thing is that she appears least bothered about OP, as she must know about her bug paranoia, yet lives this way. Even her lack of initiative to help keep the place clean is highly problematic, so charging her a fee is probably the only solution.

    A lot of folks said that OP should just kick her out, but she clarified that the woman is going through a lot. Besides, their mom would never agree, as she’s a huge enabler when it comes to her sister. Someone also suggested that the poster needs to sit them both down to talk it out, and that does sound fair, doesn’t it? What would you do in her shoes?

    Who owns this house? Who is paying the bills? If your mother is paying for everything, get independent and move out. If you are paying for everything, tell your mother that sister is banned and if she lets her in, she’s out too. If you are sharing expenses, make it clear that this cozy arrangement will come to an end if sister is still allowed in and mother can get her eldercare from sister.

    With her autism, that may prove difficult. I understand it may be enabling, biput it is quite possible that the best solution is her living in the RV.
