You think your house is messy?
 

Ok, so I mentioned to my mother that I'm taking a day off to clean my house...she sent me this with a note that said...thank God your house isnt like THIS...

http://video.aol.com/video-detail/id/1777180029


notice the husband is narrating this video - after about 2 minutes into the video, I'm like "dude, are your arms broke" - throw something away once in a while..


needless to say, my house is NOTHING like this....


so I may go to the fall preview sale at Marmi instead :)

Oh my goodness!

I guess he video that to send in to one of those "Clean This House" shows.

I'm with you Theresa, what's wrong with him doing something - - like it was her fault the lawn mower wasn't put away?

He keeps saying "She's got.."

Doesnt he live there too?? Your right Theresa,w hy does he throw some of this stuff away?

Hey instead of Criticizing .. we should be praying the...TheMrs... and her man.....







:D

It says that she has an OCD.

If that is the case then she may freak out if he throws things away.

He said that he didn't have the lawn mower put away because the sheds are now full.

He also says that he has tried different things to help... even paid $500 for some people to come in and straighten it up but she refused to allow them in.

I think part of her problem is his constant criticism. I mean....putting this on the net for all to see?? Does he think shaming her is going to help? ON the flip side, I do feel sorry for him too, having to live there..

:killinme

I agree on both counts....

No good will come from putting something like this up for the world to see.

I also feel sorry for him as well.

Oh My Goodness!! That was horrible!! I e-mailed that to my husband so that he could appreciate our house a little! :) My house looks spotless compared to this one!

Is he going to post a video for us? :)

I was thinking the same thing!!

it's called a hefty bag - look into it

Theresa,
I read your comment about died!
You were right--I hope he it.

That is overwhelming!

Where on earth would you start?

I noticed he had a pretty good "beer belly" as most call it. He hasn't over done himself either it looks like. BUT he could be just really tired of it and has just given up.

Takes "pack rat" to a whole new level!

no way one woman could do that, if one man was even HALF way picking up after himself -and maybe her. Especially if she's sick.

Is he a helpless victim...or contributer to this horrible mess...how in the world do they eat or anything else...I think I would just burn it to the ground!!!! Did she kill him after he made this video and showed the world this mess? :ernieI need to take a bath after looking at that...


PS...I only see evidence of ONE person living in that house...

Au Contraire.... I have family (one woman living by herself) and her house was completely packed like that. When you went to visit you had to move things around to sit on the couch and there was one trail that led from the living room to the bathroom and back to the one bedroom that still had a trail available.

Her daughter and granddaughter live in one home and it is exactly the same way.

It would take a 20 yard rolloff container and may need emptying more than once.

Indeed... and he doesn't seem like the type to wear dresses.

but my point is - she's not alone - there is a man also living in this house - and he commented about the old food in the refrigerator - he couldnt throw out old food?

and that full garbage can he had to move to walk down the hall? He couldnt have emptied that?

I"m not saying it would be perfect, but if he paid someone once to come clean it all up (and apparently she didnt freak out about it) he couldnt have tidied up little each day since? no way it would look like that...

he said "our house"

He did pay someone but she would not let them in the house. So she apparently did freak out about it.

She needs emotional help without a doubt!

I just moved things from my storage space into my house and I can't do much because my kids are gone during the day at VBS, and I am working evening shift all week. I have boxes stacked up everywhere, and I have a china cabinet, rolltop desk, treadmill, and more boxes to put in my house. I have no idea where I'm going to put it all, and trying to walk through my house is already becoming a skilled art!

I need help. My kids aren't good at helping when I'm away.

I think she needs to have a major garage sale. That way she can make some money and feel like her sought after bargains aren't going completely to waste. She must have boatloads of hours into collecting all that stuff. Throwing it out would be a waste. Hopefully it doesn't smell and she could sell it.

I think she needs to get her butt kicked.

It's her mess. Why should he clean it? Even if it were his mess, it's her job to clean the house anyway!

I found it interesting that he said his wife had not slept in the master bed for 2 - 2.5 years...is that how it's been since the sheets have been changed?

EEEEWWWW!

Watched part of the clip this morning. That was pretty disgusting and pretty unimaginable really. Gross!

He said he tried to pay someone to clean it--and she would not let them in.

He cleaned the garage two years ago and had both cars in it--and she filled it up again.

I didn't see pants and suits hanging up. I saw dresses, skirts, etc.

How you can blame him is beyond me.

I hope they never have a fire while they're sleeping. They wouldn't have a chance at escaping. I wonder how they cook in that place.

I finally broke down and watched the first 7 minutes until I couldn't take any more. Two people live in that house, and if she wouldn't clean it, then he should have. There is no excuse for living that way, but he sure is dishing them out.

It started when he showed the outside. He first said that the outside didn't look bad because she spent all her time inside, then proceeded to blame her that the back yard, full of 'men's' items, were stacked up everywhere and had been for years!!!

Good grief, man! Can't you take out the trash once in a while?

I wonder if there has been improvement since 2005?

Here is what needs to be done.
Sue needs to be taken to a MH counselor and asked to voluntarilly enter
a program.While she is at the program he needs to have all the garbage taken
out and face it folks I could get that yard done on one Saturday it was not
bad at all.He just needs to get a big enough shed for all Sue's christmas stuff.
He needs to have one of the useless bedrooms turned into a nice walk in closet for all of Sue's clothes.Did anyone else notice that he fixes nothing? While Sue may be
OCD he is clearly depressed.No man in his right mind would not take action
both need counseling.The not in the same bed for 2.5 years is a loud clue.
Where is Sue sleeping? I did not see a couch.

That does not mean he doesn't like them:sshhh

Well... let's hope that he doesn't. :)

I was thinking the same thing!

I know our house is usually kinda messy - we are on the go 24/7 working full time plus being in the ministry and we have 2 small children so,....our house is almost always messy, BUT, it is NOT dirty, and when it starts to get a little too messy we usually designate a night to just stay up late and clean it and if I am busy with the kids my husband always steps up and does it and just leaves things like the laundry and dishes for me (thank God for our dishwasher - our dishes never get too piled up!). But thankfully he does not just sit back and let it build up all the while blaming it on me.

I wonder if she works?

There are no more children in the house... they had been gone for several years at the time of the making of the video.

He said that the yard looks good because she spends all of her time taking care of the OUTSIDE and doing nothing to the inside.

Hope springs eternal...but there is just something off about the whole thing...His wife may be a slob, but he is too...the whole thing has something strange about it...like I said before is he a helpless victim my goodness...:bedtime he sleeps there...:erniesupposedly bathes there...:hypercoffeesupposedly eats there........did you notice that little garbage can they have...:killinmewhy would they bother to pay for that?:sosHe could call in for someone to help him when she is gone out shopping and I think....to be serious for a moment he could have her commited for an evaluation which would keep her locked up for 72 hours....I don't know where you would start there...I think I would just take it room by room and it would take a long time....but I would be up for that job...and do it with glee...

It appears that they eat out mostly... it doesn't look like they could cook... they can't even get to the cabinets & fridge.

He said that 2 or 3 years ago they cleaned out the garage and were parking 2 vehicles in there... but the area has been rejunked.
