How can someone be THAT lazy? - Vent

MoonMama wrote: DH's younger cousin has been staying with us since Saturday. She's 19 and came out from CA. I love her to pieces but she is SOOO lazy. Her parents sent her here for 9 days because they went on a second honeymoon and honestly she isn't responsible enough to stay alone. Fine we agreed to it. But its like a nightmare to get her to do anything at all. Mon/Tues night she went to bed at 1am and didn't get up until 3pm Tuesday afternoon (she wouldn't get up believe me we tried, she is the hardest sleeper). Then she vegged out on the couch and snacked on total junk (what took her to get the store night before ) until 8pm, she seriously didn't move at all! Then at 8pm she went to sleep on the living room floor until 11:30pm. At that point she got up and went and took a shower and went to bed at midnight. Ok get this she didn't get up until 6pm yesterday night. DH, Brae and I ran errands all day long and got a bunch of stuff done. She was angry when we got home because we "got to go out" and she was "stuck home bored all day". Uh hello you were ASLEEP and wouldn't wake up even if the house was on fire or being robbed. And OMG talk about messy, my floor was covered in chips, M&M's, and such this morning when I woke up. The day before I swear half a bag of pretzels were all over the floor. And she will make something and just leave the pan and other dishes sitting there. And one guess where she is now? Yep asleep! I told her she needed to help me clean today, she got angry but DH told her the same and she finally agreed. I of course cleaned the whole house alone today because I couldn't stand it being like this. Not to mention with Braedin I can't have stuff just sitting on the floor. I have talked to some other family member and apparently this is how she is at home too. How can one be so dang lazy and messy?!?! And no is has nothing to do with depression. What is comes down to is she is a spoild little brat who always gets her why and everything shenwant. I've always known this but didn't know it was this bad. Ever my little sister who is only 16 is in total disbelief and is going nuts. I am so ticked right now, I'll be happy when she goes home Sunday night.

Sounds like she is super spoiled. I would stay on her butt and make her to chores.
I'd also tell her mom/dad how bazar you found her behavior.

Calimama replied: Pack up Braedin and come here!! Anyway I'm sorry hun, I don't understand how a person can be so inconsiderate in someone else's home, teenager or not.

I'm on my way.

Anthony275 replied: ok, i know i sleep a lot, but how could you sleep that much?!

Kaitlin'smom replied: is there somehting wrong with her that she needs to sleep so much? I might make it a concern thats yoru worried about the ammount of sleep she is 'needing'

msoulz replied:
I was wondering the same thing.

And didn't you say she was 19?? If her parents felt she needed a babysitter at 19 then it sounds like they still treat her like a child, so why should she act any differently (except that she is 19 and should be more mature than that). They can't trust her in their home while they are away? Sounds like there is much more to her story than we know!

MoonMama replied:
ITA! Its crazy!

No there is know real reason she sleeps that much, out of boredom mostly and never actually having to do anything for herself. She is one of those spoiled rich kids who is catered to in every single way. Its not so much that she can't stay alone because she does at times. But she tends to have parties, go on huge shopping spree's (which they can afford so I don't get that really) etc.
