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 735 Views
I definitely think so. - 29/10/2010 05:08:01 PM 715 Views

I don't think it's offensive. - 29/10/2010 05:19:03 PM 733 Views
well..even if it isn't offensive by nature, his dad will probably still be offended - 29/10/2010 05:25:54 PM 712 Views
Of course he will. - 29/10/2010 05:37:08 PM 718 Views
Um... I disagree with "what he's gettingout of it". - 30/10/2010 12:48:56 PM 709 Views
and if one wants a father, rather than a free maid? - 30/10/2010 03:00:03 PM 755 Views
He can make sure the place is clean before the father shows up. - 30/10/2010 03:25:40 PM 706 Views
I honestly think - 29/10/2010 05:12:09 PM 709 Views
I'd also say just take the key, but that's just me. - 29/10/2010 05:16:17 PM 688 Views
Why does he have a key? - 29/10/2010 05:23:50 PM 649 Views
Does he do the dishes and clean the bathrooms? - 29/10/2010 06:54:07 PM 687 Views

sorry, but it sounds like the time for "niceness" has long passed - 30/10/2010 07:28:56 PM 767 Views
