Mad bad and bitchin'

Grrr rrr  I went to pick up Ben today from Canberra.He has lived in this room (3 others too)under a house for over 12 months,when it was just guys, and even different girls,there was no problem, no fights, no picking about whos turn to do what etc. Now........2 girls later and I'm looking for somewhere else for him to board.

They have been busy complaining that he leaves dishes in the sink, won't take the garbage bin up the hill, doesn't want to take a turn bringing firewood in etc etc.

I asked the landlady could Bens friend justin move in to the empty room.........well, the girls don't like him, he left dirty cups in the lounge room and didnt wash them up till the next day. so then I get a list of complaints against Ben....OMG I said to her that while the boys were there there was no complaints, she says now there was, so why didn't Ben hear about it then?? or myself??? arrrrgh Her friends 25 year old daughter is one of the girls staying, what ever she says is apparantly gospel truth. She is about 25 and the other woman is older than I am and doing uni,only stays there  a few days as she lives another half hour past us.They have decided since they moved in that Ben must play happy families and there is a chore list and dinner talk and crap like that. He spends most of the time working in his room and they cant handle it, they think he has an attitude.

The girls had gone into their rooms as I pulled  up, I don't know why, but they were busy listening at their doors while I was talking to the landlady. I pointed out a few things within their hearing,so when Ben wet back inside to grab soemthing he forgot, they pounced.....How dare he get  his mother to stir up shit in this house......the older lady called him a wimp........He didn't tell me this until we were up the street aways, other wise...........................

I didn't mean to stir anything up, all I wanted to know was could justin have the spare room, and if not then she would have two empty rooms, I certainly didn't expect her to tell me Ben was poorly brought up and a health hazard, because that is what she was trying to tell me  and I am babying him by letting him get away with not washing up immediately after eating.Oh and the older woman is moving out because of Bens attitude, when i scoffed at that,she said oh yes she does have some other problems.

I told her that Ben would never dump someones washing up in front of their door, would not scream in anyones face and would not be rude enough to pull out the phone cord while they were on the phone or the internet. These things have all be done to him, they think its ok, because they have the moral high road. 

The younger girl smokes pot every night,unbeknowst to the landlady............I will be letting her know this the day he leaves,she is too volatile to report it while he is still there.

I understand that Ben has to wash up after himself and be considerate of the others, I don't understand why it is alwasy his job to take up the bin, or empty a dishwasher he doesnt use,or bring in wood for a fire he is not in the room to enjoy or when he has the fan on as he is too hot LOL

So we are off to see 2 rooms in a family stay home, a bit further from the city but the woman sounds so accomadating,she even does their washing.
