Messy sibling (vent)

Denene

Thanks for all the replies - I hadn't realised there had been so many!

I ended up cleaning living room, kitchen etc. because I didn't want my mum to come home to a big mess. I piled all of sis's clean stuff up, and left all the cat pee stuff outside. I was hoping she would deal with it, but she just dumped more, so she's clearly a hopeless case.

This is a chronic problem, and mum regularly threatens to fill up bin bags with her stuff and chuck it all out, but sister would have a major tantrum, so it hasn't happened yet. Her bedroom floored is literally carpeted in clothes and she uses her bed as storage space, so I don't know how she sleeps. I will hopefully be moving in to my own place soon (hence living at mum's) and I can. not. wait!

PS. Yes, cat pee does reek. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, cat still thinks he needs to pee in corners of rooms occasionally

And there lies the life long problem that is your mothers doing: threats that are never followed up and cow towing to her daughters tantrums.
Well done for thinking of your mum and cleaning up OP: hope you get your own place soon!

Sounds like the sister and cat are competing to mark out the place as their territory!

I would say do it and let her have the tantrum. When it happens, excuse yourself and go for a walk.
