It honestly thought that moving in with Adam would be easy. Don't get me wrong, the us living together bit is a breeze cuz ya know I'm quite fond of him and getting married and stuff but the other side of it - boys be crazy! I thought growing up with a brother who was practically the same age I would be totally ready for all the bad habits and the boy stuff but heck - its nothing! They have a lot of sneaky little habits and things that nooooo one knows! So here we go!
When it his turn to cook you'll probably end up getting a take away
Adam is terrible for this! I do most of our cooking - mainly because I'm home from work first but on the days Adam has off in the week I normally ask that he cooks since he has been home all day. This normally turns into the question of "Fancy a takeaway" or "come on I'm taking you out for tea" which makes me want to face palm every time. The worse thing is Adam is not a bad cook - he's just lazy.
Your days off are not your own
Remember the days when you could sit on a Saturday or a Sunday and just watch spend all day watching back to back episodes of Greys Anatomy. Yeah thats not gonna happen anymore. I seem to spend most of my weekend running around doing bits and bobs. Tidying the house, Running errands in town, food shopping. All this said don't expect the boy to consider the same. They seem to think their days off are for 10am lie ins and spending all day on the PS4.
They really don't care about interior design
You spot a gorgeous new rug or a cushion or a picture, anything remotely decoratey and its like "yeah its nice" - Ive come to learn they are just not interested in that kind of stuff and 9 times out of 10 will just say its nice to keep you happy.
You'll have to head lock them to get any colour in your life
Adam is a stereotypical boy. When we were choosing colours for rooms with both houses he couldn't understand why every room couldn't be blue.
Nothing is ever where it should be
Boys have no damn concept of putting anything in its proper home. Have the juice out of the cupboard to make a drink? Still on the kitchen side... Buy him a box to keep his PS controllers in... would rather leave on the coffee table... and won't even get started on the state he leaves the sofa cushions in!
When things are not where they should be you'll be expected to know where they are
Get your crystal balls out girls... I'm constantly getting asked the question "Do you know where my ... is" to the point where I have just started rolling my eyes and ignoring him!
I could probably go on all day. And as much as all these things drive me crazy, weirdly you learn to live with them. Im sure Adam could probably write an equal list about me.
What are the things you lot picked up about living with a boy???
