Holiday Feelings: Are They Merry or Stressful?

@suerc- Good for you! Although we would all like our close ones to "have a backbone" not all of us are made that way. As hard as it is we have to love them for what they have, not what they don't. Yikes! lol. Please wear a mask when you dust and use you vacuum attachments as much as possible.

When we went down to Rodchester for the weekend I told him that all this better be out of my bedroom by Monday that Gaye him Friday eve ,sat and Sunday. I also told him that the garage better be cleaned up also by the time we get back. He said oh I don't know. I said if you. Don't clean it I will. He said you can't do it. And I said watch me. My husband told me not to be Dutch a bitch. But he won't stand up for me at all. My husband does not have a backbone to stand on. This guy has taken over our house for 4 mo and I am tired of it. I came home this morning and garage is clean and machine is out of the bedroom. Now the daunting task of cleaning up all the dust. Cleaning walls and everything. I walked in the room and I. Could just see the dust in the air. Yuck.

@suerc Good for you! The dust is very bad for lungs, please take precautions. I've got asthma and anyone can get that, so prevention of breathing junk into your lungs is important. We breathe enough with air pollution and all actually have black flecks in our lungs permanently from that. Some stuff stays in your lungs even though your body throws phlegm at it trying the clear the mess. You might want to open the windows while you are cleaning that room as you will be stirring lots of dust into the air. It's probably everywhere in your house, not just the one room. I'm sorry your husband doesn't support you and makes comments about it. He probably doesn't understand the health consequences of living that way. It doesn't take much dust at all to shut my lungs down.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Grateful for the connect community.
