NSMR....but DS related. His issues with moving....

Oh my sweet naive DS.....we have found his issues with moving are as such...

1. His sister got the bigger bathroom. The bathroom she got has no shower but a garden tub. DS has not taken a bath since he was about 5. I don't see him taking one now...but boy howdy..because it was 2 foot bigger his is bent out of shape.

2. His peeved that his new room is not a big as the room he has here or the one he has at his Dads. MM...well neither is DD's. I have a 2500 sq foot house and so does his Dad. Both houses have large bedrooms versus large bathrooms. So...yep...uh unless DS is ready to purchase a 2500 sql foot house that was built in the 80/90's with large bedrooms...HE WILL NEVER GET A BEDROOM AS BIG AS THE ONE'S HE HAS NOW. We tried to explain this to him....but yea....in true Aspie form..not hearing it. Keep in mind..DD's room is a whole lot smaller than her other bedrooms and she needs to house no only herself but her guinea pigs as well. She, however, is happy as a clam to just have one bedroom with all of her stuff.

3. DS does not want to downsize his stuff. He is peeved all his knick knacks etc cannot come with him. They can, just not be put on display all over. Welcome to adulting DS...we all had to downsize our stuff. Be happy this isnt' a dorm room.....where you get NO stuff. I offered to get him a floor to ceiling bookshelf for his stuff.

4. There is only one assigned parking spot. Yea that is true but the open parking is just about a 1 minute walk down the sidewalk. Smh.....and I told them, whoever, gets there first gets the spot. DD was like..eh I can walk it won't kill me.

5. Finally.....the room is too hot for him. We told him....use a fan or open the window.

He is so picky.....so so picky.

Love him...and he is still moving on Sunday....depsite the above "issues'.

I'm having a hard time not

I'm having a hard time not laughing. These are some SERIOUS first world problems.

Trust me..it was hard not to laugh

and or lose my patience..because REALLY....

I think you should gather a

I think you should gather a bunch of Crappy First Apartment stories from people, and let him read them. Just about everyone's first apartment was crappy - we all lived there. I, personally, had a cockroach big enough he should have been helping with the rent, and would gargle the Raid I sprayed on him and defy me to try it again. Threw a shoe at him once. He threw it back and hit my knee. Good times, good times.

My DH has a similar story with his the "beach" house he rented

while in the Navy. He jokes that his roomate was a cockroach.

not first apartment

But definitely crappy!! The first night in my basement room in a charming, but very old early 1900s house that 10 of us shared.....my last year in college. I'm all tucked in at night, reading a book, when a BAT flew in from the crack underneath my closed door.
After majorly freaking out (no cell phones back then) and I didn't want to wake my roommates up, I ended up throwing a blanket over it and carrying the blanket outside to free the little beast. Gives me the willies just remembering it!

My brother is 23 and aspie

My brother is 23 and aspie and he is the same way. He becomes so fixated on things being exactly like they were at Mom and Dad's because that is "comfortable" for him. New and different is scary.

My brother took his first apartment and attempted to decorate it just like Mom and Dad's. My Mom said he had everything arranged and organized just like it was in our childhood home. The layout was obviously different, but he tried so hard to make it as similar as possible.

My Mom's slogan for my brother and I is "Fair doesn't always mean equal" because my brother used to do the same thing and point out every little difference that appeared to be an advantage in my favor.
