Give him my address and everyone wins. Joel Send a noteboard - 30/10/2010 10:25:30 AM
He gets lots o' stuff to clean, and I don't have to deal with it the last week I'm here. As codependency goes, however, I've seen worse. No one was even injured or incarcerated.

No suggestions for an overinvolved parent though; my working theory is "leave the country and get married". I tend to agree with Mike though: Subtlety rarely works in these situations, and it's already failed here, so getting the key back is probably your only option. Unless you're ready to ask him to move over it your roommate has to ask HIMSELF whether he'd rather have dad coming to clean all the time, or confront him over the key. Oh, and before you urge THAT confrontation, best make sure the roommate will be cleaning up when dad isn't.

Good luck with it, anyway. *hugs*

It sounds like the man may have some OCD cleaning problems as well. - 29/10/2010 04:13:28 PM 608 Views

I don't think it's offensive. - 29/10/2010 05:19:03 PM 606 Views
well..even if it isn't offensive by nature, his dad will probably still be offended - 29/10/2010 05:25:54 PM 599 Views
Of course he will. - 29/10/2010 05:37:08 PM 612 Views
Um... I disagree with "what he's gettingout of it". - 30/10/2010 12:48:56 PM 590 Views
and if one wants a father, rather than a free maid? - 30/10/2010 03:00:03 PM 649 Views
He can make sure the place is clean before the father shows up. - 30/10/2010 03:25:40 PM 601 Views
I honestly think - 29/10/2010 05:12:09 PM 597 Views
I'd also say just take the key, but that's just me. - 29/10/2010 05:16:17 PM 579 Views
Why does he have a key? - 29/10/2010 05:23:50 PM 536 Views
Does he do the dishes and clean the bathrooms? - 29/10/2010 06:54:07 PM 581 Views
