Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

The more I think about it, the more appalled I am. What self respecting grown woman, who is physically able to do so, allows another person to make her bed every day? And to top it off laughs about it as if it's cute.

I know, I know, one may ask what kind of woman volunteers to make the bed of another grown woman. I can answer that one. One who wants a clean and tidy room and knows she is living with a slob. Doesn't make it right, but I can kinda understand that more than the lazy bones position.

When I was in my first year of college, I had a slob roomate (dorm). She would never do her laundry. It would pile up all over the floor, dirty and smelly. She would leave plates of food and drink, everywhere. The room was small, so if I wanted any sense of relief from the mess and smell, I had to clean it up. I didn't have to do it, but, I was too embarrased to have guest to my room without doing something. I voiced my feelings about it many times, but, she was a spoiled brat who never had any responsibility at home. She could have cared less about anything other than partying and drinking. She would just laugh and say that she was sorry and she would try to do better. She never did. That was my last year in the dorm, thank God.

I guess I so have some Allison traits.

Well, appropos of nothing in the above posts...except graduating...
I enjoyed seeing Lisa's graduation again! I almost never make comments about makeovers, or appearance in general...but I liked Lisa's lovely thick hair just the way it was!!!! (OK, maybe a little trim was in order!!) Once again, at graduation, you see the affection that is not always evident on "the show." These women do bond and achieve a level of intimacy only made possible by living in "close quarters." I always get the feeling that we miss the "best stuff!" We always " make allowances" for our friends, don't we? Jill's comments made that clear. I do think that they would always be glad to run into one another in the future, having shared this unique experience. All the best, Lisa!

Hey Debby…
Reading your post I was kinda laughing and then disgusted. I could not live with someone like that. I would have picked up her smelly old laundry (with gloves and a laundry peg for my nose) put her clothes in a garbage bag and set it on her side.

There are some ppl out there that just don’t care and are not embarrassed at all they have the no care free attitude…sure sometimes is a great attitude to have but in this case!! Well she should have had some respect for you and the guest that came over - brat or no brat! She should have taken the cob webs out of her head.


It was nice to see Lisa graduating; does anyone recall what her graduation gift was?

Hi there!

I'm new here, and starting watching SO this 're-run' season!

To answer the previous poster's question about what Lisa got for her Grad gift.. OMG, she was given 'crap' to what the others were, so in my opinion, her Grad gift was................

A Dining Room Set and Chairs with a China Hutch! As Rhonda said, the gift we felt would help you move forward in your new life is..... blah blah!! I just thought OMG yes, catching that Billionaire with a great new dining table and chairs.. no classes, NADA..

Just kinda made me go whoa, it's not at all what the other girls got, but she didn't deserve a fraction of what they got either, they worked hard!

I guess I'm sorry to have watched so late, I love the show, and seems as though I will lose it. Anyway, take care ladies! Best Wishes

Hi Parfie,
Welcome aboard and thanks for the reply about Lisa's Gift.

Hope to see you around the boards.
