Candida albicans is a normal part of the flora down there and our skin flora but if conditions are right it can lead to excessive growth and it can take over. This is also the cause of jock itch and athlete's foot.

Could be yeast or BV. BV tends to have more of an amine or fishy smell.

I think you can wait until things go wrong before slapping your SO with some kind of household work schedule before they move in. In my experience, those things falls apart anyway, and the people that push them are no better at doing chores than anybody else. Hell, often worse.

I think the specific agreement that Person A will be X chores and Person B will do Y ones *before* anyone moves in together is a bit overkill, I agree. But, she's been down this road with people who didn't help clean and it's a dealbreaker for her, so kudos that she is actually trying to communicate her preferences before signing a lease.

I think it's pretty telling that this guy won't agree to anything at all and is using emotional blackmail (BUT TWUE WUV WILL DO THE DISHES) as a way to get her to drop the subject and not expect anything from him.

As someone who's had probably over 40 housemates over the last 15 years the only way anything stays clean is to let the cleanest person* in the house violently beat anyone of their choosing with an axe handle at any time of their choosing.

The only other option is to live with other reasonable people who value having a reasonably clean house and who have a work ethic and sense of fair play. But good luck with that.

If the guy's house is clean already he probably just doesn't want to be bothered about some sort of cleaning contract carved in stone because he's a normal adult who keeps his house clean. If he was a slob, it would be different.

As a contractor; gently caress companies that outsource their work to contractors. We should be casual employees at minimum, and the fact that we aren't just so they can save more money on benefits for their shareholders is bullshit. Bring back unions I say.

If you've been contracting someone to do the same job for years on a regular, ongoing basis they're just employees you don't care about.

It was more the fact that they got mad at me for not knowing it had to be done. I'd never in my life heard of anybody doing that before. If they'd asked me, I would have done it. I just got a barrage of angry texts about it one day. This wasn't an isolated thing, they had many similar requests that I was apparently disgusting for not doing. Their parents came to visit once and left post it notes all over the house for me and our other roommates that said things like 'THIS HOUSE IS FILTHY' 'TAKE YOUR TURN TO CLEAN THIS HOUSE'

My (21F) boyfriend's brother (19M) throws temper tantrums, ignores us and just acts like a child overall. I want to confront him about his behavior, but I am not sure its worth it. Is there a way to get it through to him that his behavior is not ok?Non-Romantic
submitted 8 hours ago by CuddlyHoneybee

I have known his brother since he moved in this April, and yes I live with my boyfriend (24M) as well. My boyfriend feels the same as I do, but has spoken to his brother before and nothing changed so he isn't going to try again.

So lets call my boyfriend 'J' and his brother 'G'. Basically G acts 13 still. He refuses to get a job, or clean up after himself. His idea of cleaning up after himself is putting everything in the sink, not to mention any time I need dishes you can bet they will be on his bedroom floor. He also never showers, brushes his teeth or washes his clothes. He absolutely reeks....but thats another story.

He throws temper tantrums. He once broke a mug of mine because I told him I wasn't going to buy him soda. The latest though is J and I were telling G that you cant just pour new litter on top of the old litter, and that you have to totally clean the box out. He got upset, grabbed his bag, stormed to his room and we could hear him throwing things around. He hasn't spoken to us in 2 days. Anytime he gets upset he throws a fit like that and them doesnt talk to us for days, and wont enter any room we are in.

We have stopped paying for his stuff (not even food anymore), refuse to give him rides places (he also refuses to get his licence), and refuse to clean up after him. He doesn't care because his dad keeps dropping money into his account, he takes the bus or calls friends for rides, and apparently likes the filth. We were hoping that this would give him some motivation to grow up some....but nope!
My boyfriend has had a conversation with him and basically told him that if he doesn't straighten up, that he will be totally done with him. Didnt change.

I really want to tell him that he needs to grow up, be responsible, take care of himself, ect. or he will be alone, and no one will want to be his roommate. He has already been kicked out of 3 different family members houses because of his behavior. We are at a loss here.

Tl;DR: Boyfriends brother throws fits, doesn't talk to us, acts like a child. Needs to grow up and have a reality check. We have done all we can think of. I want to have one final conversation with him, before he gets kicked out....like give him one last shot. How would you handle this?

Though the path of the dogpuncher may be a lonely one, one must heed its call


quote:



Yesterday my wife and I went to a local brewery that allows dogs. To preface this, I'm not a big fan of dogs inside breweries for sanitary reason as well as the fact that many of the dogs are ill behaved like incessant barking and jumping on strangers and my wife knows this. As my wife and I are walking in, a large dog runs towards us as soon as we enter the door. The dog was on a leash, but it had obviously slipped out of the owner's hand and he was not restrained in any way. This scared me because I don't know this dog and he was quite large. I was concerned for not only my safety, but my wife's as well. I am far from a dog expert, and I am not able to tell between a large dog running towards me because he is happy to see me, or because he wants to bite me.

The dog was coming down a hallway so I had a moment to see him coming and assess the situation. I paused for a moment to let him get close enough and I kicked him as hard as I could. About this time the owner came around the corner to see me kicking her dog. She quickly restrained him with the leash and began berating me for abusing her dog. I was livid, this woman did not control her animal and allowed it to possibly threaten my family's safety! We argued for a minute or two until the bartender came from the behind the bar. He asked what happened and then told us all to leave for making a scene. The woman continued to yell at me in the parking lot and threatened to call the cops, I told her to gently caress off and we left. The police followed up with us later that day and said that there was no reason to file charges since her dog was off leash and not under her control. So I am not receiving any criminal charges, but she still may sue.

However, I have a bigger issue. On the car ride home my wife berated me for causing a scene and getting us kicked out (she hates attention and many of the patrons came around the corner to stare at the commotion) and more importantly because I hurt a dog. I tried to explain to her that I was acting in our best interests and I wanted to protect us. How was I supposed to know that this dog didn't want to hurt us? How can I better explain to her that I'm not an animal abuser, I just wanted to protect her and myself?

tl;dr: Large dog is off leash and runs towards me with no owner in sight. I kicked it and now my wife is mad at me.

If you were "just" protecting your family, you would put your body between them and the dog and take the risk it might hurt you. Trying to punt Fido downfield would clearly be an attempt to protect yourself, you enormous idiot coward.
