Am I being unfair to my roommate?

>>18390157
No, he's just kind of a whiny bitch and doesn't know how responsibility works/is a man child.

"Stop being an entitled bitch. It's not up to me to baby you and GIVE you chances. You need to take the initiative and EARN them like an adult.

If you really want to fix shit, instead of crying about me not giving the chance to, prove it through your actions and just fucking do it. I'm not your mommy, here to hold your hand."

>>18390157
you could try telling him specific dates it has to be done by. I mean dishes sitting for two days is nothing.

>>18390157
your roommate needs to grow the fuck up

you badgering him about it won't fix the problem
people don't change quickly

get a new roommate

>>18390262
it isnt OP's job to manage his roommates life

>>18390314
no but if OP wants the dishes done on time he has to. this isn't about what's right or wrong it's about getting the desired results.

The dishes had been sitting for a while... in fact, when I yelled at him, they weren't one of the things I had been mad about. The sink had some cups in it, nothing that needed to be tended to in any quick way.

He was trying to show some initiative, but really just ended up digging himself a deeper hole.

That was kind of what I was yelling at him about in the first place though - I don't want to set dates, I don't want to have to ask again and again, I just occasionally want to come home and see that he's done something on his own without being pressed for it.

I think you should have waited til the next day to do the washing .good luck teaching him to be human

>>18390317
no
he needs to get a new roommate and not be this ones bitch

>>18390320
Throw all of the dishes in his bed when he doesn't do them

>thinking you can just "get" a new roommate.

>>18390342

yeah

you move
give notice, find a new place

if you can't handle that, you're a fucking retard and you deserve your retard roommates

After three days? Really? When he showed no signs of doing it, and was playing video games? It's not like he has a job or anything else he's doing.

He'll be getting kicked out soon. When I yelled at him earlier, it was about how if he didn't start doing some of this stuff, I was raising rent.

It's my place, I can do what I want.

I'd be extremely careful of this just in case he ends up being classed as "disabled" by the government due to mental illness. In some countries and states he could destroy your finance or your reputation unless you cover your ass and document the behavior.
