  • I live in a house with 2 other people - I seem to be responsible for all maintenance, painting, fixing things, projects, lifting and shifting.      I can 'see' all of the marks, damage, paint chips, scratches and dirt.

    The two other people seem to think it's their responsibility to break everything or misuse it or drown it in water or leave damp things on it or to pile things up in a cold corner to cause damp and mould or to lean or hang on cabinet doors so they don't sit straight or to use the hoover as a battering ram / paint removal tool.

    Even things like jingling keys against the front door to damage the finish around the lock or let doors slam to damage the locks.

    I'm losing my mind.
