Order Please

Being the eldest, I was raised and thought to be independent and be a role model (I try to be, lol) to my younger siblings. During the weekends I would gather my brothers and sisters for the simple responsibilities we have to finish before we go for play.

I had to go to a higher education institution where it is very far from home. Live alone (I mean away from my family) in a dormitory (not really alone bec I have a roommate with me). I've learned more. Do laundry and fold them, do the cleaning and the organizing of my place and make sure that it is well kept and so on...

Then, I decided to find my luck abroad, work. And again I am not "living alone". Not just one but few roommates. More than enough to mess up the whole villa we are living. As grown individuals, esp us women, we are expected to have that kind of order and neatness in our certain places. Example after preparing something in the kitchen, we are expected to clean up the clutter and sweep and wipe the stain on the floor. A simple sweeping of the floor just to remove some dust from yesterday's mess. Remove the fallen human hairs on the bathroom strainer so as not to clog the pipe. And so on and so on... But there are some people who don't know those simple things. And they seem they didn't care if their surroundings is full of clutter. Sometimes didn't care to wash the dishes and the insects (if there is) might come crawling on them. barf I really can't understand how they can tolerate such chaos. And they are just sitting around watching tv and surfing the internet. doh

As we become adults, maybe, it would show how we have been raised and or upbringing have a deal on how we organize and do our personal choices of orderliness, neatness and cleanliness. And it affects to the whole as a person.

And it is said that cleanliness is associated with hygiene, then I know and conclude ... conversingmumbling .. (keeping that to myself)... grin

Now, girls we have to do the organizing and we expect you guys to help (IF, just a little maybe, don't want to be demanding there). grin

Now, men would you want women who keep your home neat and in order or the other way around? cheers

Oh Shay! The problem with cleanliness is great. And there are a lot of ppl who live in unimaginable dirt, phisical and mental too doh grin
Parti, you're back... And you are my role model for being the funniest man in the blogs... grin laugh cheers
Youretheone, Hello.

We tried to have a schedule for the simple cleaning but that didn't work. Some did follow but not all.

What we just expect is the keeping clean of the common areas (kitchen, living room, bathrooms, etc), but seems there are some who didn't make any effort to do what they are ask for.

And it is hard to give a word to them because some are older than I am. blues
Spdspd, yeah you are right... And there are a lot of ppl who live in unimaginable dirt, phisical and mental too grin I am just talking of our orderliness in our current living condition, in which the others don't share the duty of cleaning. Been poking (not literal, heheh) the young ones, but the matured roommates, pain frustrated doh
Shay ~ wave thumbs up I guess that hygiene is a personal issue for everyone. wine I'm afraid though, I've never lived with friends before & therefore can't comment on group style living. I've been living on my own for the last about 30 mths & although I could take in borders/tenants to fill up my house; I prefer to live alone! cool hug innocent peace yay
El, would you be hospitable enough to let me be a tenant at your house for say, a couple of days if ever I will have a chance to visit SA? yay grin

Kidding aside, about hygiene, yeah it varies from person to person and from cultures. One's personal care practices related to most aspects of daily living. Regular hygienic practices may be considered good habits to some, but to others not. doh
Shay ~ You don't have to be a tenant! But a very welcome guest!
Please use these directions to get to my place..........>

@shay
Once the same type of things was told to me by my mom about the question of younger sibling! Getting such a similarity just astonishing today a lot! Another side in the question of cleaning (small details of life) I have somewhat same experience and responsibilities like you due to my situations. Thanks for sharing your story… where I really found a lot of similarities!

Guess, Hi. wave

Me and my siblings were bit of riot when we were younger but we have learned to respect each other now. There are some fights over who's to do the chores and other small things before. But gladly enough, we had been raised by wonderful parents to teach (almost) all what we need to learn in life, esp cleaning and organizing. grin
@shay my sibling was 8 years younger so no question of fight! laugh She was a simply follower of me but gradually life changes a lot to every person! sigh Isn’t it?

Wish you all the best for your future! thumbs up

cheers handshake
Yeah, when we grow older we mature (hopefully for all) and we change (hopefully for the better). And those changes include our priorities.

Have a nice evening to you Guess and thank you. hug
