The 8 Most Infuriating Habits of Family Members

I think I might need a stay at the cozy padded room soon, all thanks to my beloved family. They manage to do all the typical things that drive a parent mad—missing the toilet, leaving a trail of dirty laundry, and letting Chef Boyardee create a disaster in the microwave without a hint of clean-up. Those are the usual struggles every mom faces. But it’s the little extras that really send me over the edge. Here are eight habits that will have me curled up in a corner before long:

1. Treating bathmats as water-absorbent sponges.
   Bathmats should keep you from slipping and help soak up excess water, not become a soggy mess that I dread lifting for laundry. We’re not at a beach resort, folks! Please dry off before stepping out!
2. Hiding trash in the couch cushions.
   Seriously? The kitchen is just a step away, yet you choose to shove your snack wrappers and empty juice boxes between the cushions? Who thought that was a good idea? Oh right, my family.
3. Leaving containers next to the fridge.
   Is there a monster lurking inside? It wouldn’t hurt to open the fridge door and put the orange juice back where it belongs. This level of laziness is beyond me.
4. Going on a tornado-like search for lost items.
   There’s a wrong way to look for things, and it’s tearing apart the house like a Tasmanian Devil. Instead, just ask someone who might know where your stuff is. Mom’s here to help! When you’re searching for that missing sock or your car keys, they’re probably right where you left them.
5. Taking out the trash but leaving it NEXT to the bin.
   All it takes is a little effort to toss that full bag into the bin, yet I wake up to find trash scattered around the yard. It’s like a wildlife party out there!
6. Traipsing through the house in dirty shoes.
   We have a shoe rack for a reason! Yet, my family insists on walking around with muddy shoes and then says, “Oops, I forgot!” when reminded about the shoe rule. The mop is right there, folks!
7. Abandoning utensils in the sink after washing dishes.
   What’s up with leaving forks and spoons behind? Are they dangerous? Because every time I wash dishes, I find them left behind for me to deal with.
8. Pressing faces against the window to peek inside.
   I spend so much time trying to keep the inside of the windows spotless, but it seems my family thinks they’re canvases for face prints. Keep your mugs off the glass!

As much as I adore my family, they are definitely keeping hair dye companies in business. Soon, I might just find myself sharing a room with someone equally as quirky. Until then, watch out bathmats, here comes a little creative destruction! If you’re dealing with similar family antics, check out this post on home insemination tips.
