I’m struggling with this so hard. I’m trying to do this, but I still live with my parents. They keep doing things that make life ever so slightly more difficult. For example, the kitchen trashcan. We’ve had a tall trashcan with the foot pedal opening lid for YEARS. It’s perfect, amazing, no notes. It was in the perfect location. Then my mom decided she didn’t like how the trashcan looks 🙃. Now we have a small trashcan under our sink. It enrages me so bad. Not even because it’s there, but because she is so rigid on it. First, it fills up very quick, there’s 4 people in this house, it also doesn’t have the lid so sometimes it stinks when you open the cabinet. You also have to bend down, touch the door, and grab the trashcan to bring it out. So if you’re in the middle of chopping stuff up, you’d have to wash your hands all over again to clear space. My mom’s like “just take the trashcan out before you start cutting”. OR WE COULD HAVE A HANDS FREE CAN ACCESSIBLE AT ALL TIMES?!?! Ik I’m overreacting about this, but it actually bothers me so much. I try to do things in the most efficient/ logical way possible, and this is far from it. Also, we can get a nicer looking trashcan . It doesn’t have to be the same one we had. I’ve also been having major back pain recently, and every extra bend/ lean down actually hurts 😀. It’s so frustrating, I see her POV and Ik it shouldn’t be such a big deal. I have like 3 trash cans just in my room so I actually throw stuff away instead of leaving it somewhere. Any advice on how to lessen this frustration would be much appreciated!
