  • Are things really so bad? Sorry to hear :-/
    • I don't know. Maybe they aren't. I'm super stressed out and hormonal and shit, so maybe I am over-reacting.

      The house-buying experience is/was nothing like what I expected. And I'm really unhappy about it right now.

      The house is so dirty. Like "I can't believe you fed your grandchildren food made in this kitchen" dirty. Like they made it dirtier in the process of moving out and then said "well, we don't have to live here anymore so who cares" dirty. And I have to have it livable clean before Saturd

      • It's hardly surprising that you're stressed out, given what you've described of the experience. Hormonal or not, you are who you are.

        Your house-buying experience wasn't anything like what I remember. Of course, we did not rush it, we knew and agreed on what we wanted in a house, and (at least in the early part of the marriage) were good at making consensus decisions.

        I see a real imbalance between what is expected of you, and what you are entitled to expect. That is an issue that needs to be addressed, so

        Well I hope things get better.

        As for the house you might be able to find a service to clean it for you, though that might not be possible on such short notice. The other idea is to find friends/family/etc. who might be willing to clean your place in exchange for $$.

        • We were able to get the carpets cleaned yesterday afternoon, which took a huge weight off of my shoulders. His mom's little steam vac was not working well enough for me. Husband actually helped a lot last night, which I am very grateful for. Fortunately/unfortunately, my parents will be here in a couple of hours (which is sooner than we were expecting them to come), so maybe they can help me with a few things regarding the cleaning.

          I still would feel better having more time. But it might be able to g

        House buying is always stressful (especially the first time). They should have left the house at least reasonably clean (in fact, it may even have been part of the contract) but then again I don't think I have ever moved into anyplace that was spotless...

        Deep breaths, try not to punch the hubby, and hope you are moved in and enjoying the house soon :-)

        • I don't think there was anything in the contract regarding the cleanliness of the place. But most of the rooms you could tell they hadn't even bothered to vacuum after they got their crap out. All of the linoleum has dirty foot prints everywhere. These things to me are just like basic cleaning and the fact that it had not been done was an affront. Plus, they didn't fix some of the things that they said that they would, but I'm not sure we can do anything about it now, since we signed the contract alrea

        Well, I'd be really pissed off too if I took over a dirty house. Actually, boyfriend of tuxette and I were rather unamused with the state of our shoebox when we moved into it. We literally spent a few days scrubbing the smoke smell out of the ceiling, walls, etc.

        Thanks for being a friend tuxette. I'm not sure I've ever really said that.

        Thanks :-D
  • Sorry to hear things are going poorly.

    • Thanks for the sympathy I guess. The "hard part" of the house buying seems to be never-ending.

      I was wondering who you were when your name popped up in my inbox. Friended.

  • Sorry to hear that things are rough right now. Super lame of them to leave the house a mess. >^(
