My boyfriends family is nasty. His parents don’t wash their hands with soap. They clean up cat barf with a paper towel and no cleaner, just smear it around on the floor. Their cats sit on the counters and kitchen table picking their toes and licking their asses. When it comes time to eat nobody disinfects the surface first. They barely shower. I hide in my boyfriends room which has its own bathroom thank f***. We wash dishes before we use them to make sure they’re actually clean because they often still have food on them.

He showers daily. He shaves. Gets his hair done. Wears clean clothes. Changes the bed sheets. Vacuums his carpet. He cleans the table before we eat with cleaner I asked him to buy. He cleans his bathroom.

He’s not like them and I’m so f****** grateful. He knows its not normal. Just a couple more years and we can get our own place. Our parents still haven’t met because they have zero in common and mine will want to puke.
