My, son(also an admitted slob) is living with a slob who doesn’t shut up. (OY!!!) I told him to speak to the RA, he hasn’t. He wants a single–hasn’t talked to anyone about it!!! I recently called him to ask him about his Thanksgiving plans and he was doing his laundry and cleaning his room. I asked him how often he does it and he said he changes his sheets once a week, does laundry once a week and runs the dustbuster several times a week. I fell off my chair!

I found out he now sleeps with earplugs…the constant talking bothers him more. See, it’s just a matter of which one is more annoying. The whole thing is his problem and he can figure it out!!! He says he loves school, so I guess none of it is bothering him that much. I told my kids that freshman year is probably the only time in your life that you won’t be able to pick with whom you live…it’s just a roommate. Its just for a few months!!!
