Chaos in the household
7 months ago
Since Friday, my sister and her partner have slowly moved their stuff from their home to ours.
My mum has been trying to get order on this chaos as well getting rid of some stuff to charity and auction.
For me I've need to find more free time to draw which is very hard to find at the moment. As well using my laptop.
Hop thing carm down and figuring out our free times.
This isn't the big move but it is a slow start on how to live with two extra people, three dogs and two cats add to the family.

Be friendly, be helpful, be flexible, but make sure there are limits in place. Establish boundaries, and make demands of your own.
-Your area is NOT communal storage, not even for a day or two. (which inevitably turns into stuff living there permanent)
-You need your time to yourself... a Do-Not-Disturb sign might be a useful reminder, but be sure to update it frequently.
-Block off time as needed, i.e., I Have to work these hours, so I need to sleep from this time to that time, so NO NOISE AFTER __pm/am
-Be willing to help out when asked (usually) and even offer to help, but DEMAND reciprocal consideration...
...YOU helped with ____, but now they have to help you with this or that project, or maybe even just keep everyone from bothering you for a few hours. ...that sort of thing.
Be kind, be forgiving, but also don't get taken advantage of.
Hope this helps.
