Sometimes you just have to sound rude.
I can live wihtout ironing my t-shirts and jeans (also called living off the dryer syndrome) so I think people can live without ironing the stuff you mention.

If your host family is German, they probably won't take it as rude. Maybe agree a time limit on house work every day, start with the important stuff, and then stop when the time is up, even if the last sport sock hasn't been ironed and folded...

Although it has been a lovely Easter weekend, I'm sad because my 87 year old Norwegian-American grandmother shows more signs of her increasing dementia. It's been clear for months that she doesn't comprehend that I'm in Germany or that this is why I cannot visit her next week, let alone next month. But today there was something new. When I tried several times to wish her "God påske" (Happy Easter), and she just didn't understand.

yeah, the social life is horrible in Munich. I'm sad everytime i think about my friends back in the states. but gotta stop looking back, want to find friends (Americans meetup in Sausilitos this friday in Munich), look for a job, and learn how to speak this verdammt language (i've been here for a year and a half...still don't understand what people are saying half of the time).

Sorry about that...had the same happen to me a lot in my life.
Sometimes in pretty bad and nasty ways.
Not that it practically helps but anytime I'm feeling useless I read this:
http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005...obs-061505.htmlIt's on Youtube as well...watch it

Personally, I'm am really pissed of about something (read someone) right now but on the surface I am calm and composed.
Thats bad right??

because my ex wife is being a complete bitch, would not let me speak to my kids and invite them to my wedding, wouldn't give me the exact date of our decree absolute, which means I have to pay 40 quid more to get a copy from the court (my dad lost the paper work), she thinks I have made no contact with the kids for years and have paid nothing to their up keep (she stopped me from seeing them, and even would not except Christmas presents from me and barred all phone calls coming from Germany into the house), when I have followed her solicitors instructions to the letter and paid all that was required, and even more set up a trust fund for them, the bitch took me for nearly a million quid, hasn't allowed me to speak to my kids for nearly 7 years. Allowing my children to make their own mind up would have been nice.
Very PISSSED OFF here, but all I have done is piss myself off by making a phone call I should have not made

Are the kids now old enough to be able to make up their own minds adn have a say?

i heard chat on the radio about how it was 10yrs ago that scotland played brazil as our first game of the world cup in france 98.
10 YEARS AGO.
i was doing my standard grades then and vividly remember school that day, the final bell and everyone going home all excited. finished 2-1. obviously to brazil.
thats the best 10years of my life probably gone in what seems like a flash. how depressing is that.jesus, im on a right downer thinking about that!

I suspect some former colleagues with whom I am on TERRIBLE terms (because I put my foot down and refused to take their gossipy judgmental bullshit - bad decision, btw) of being indiscreet with some of my current work contacts. I can't prove anything, and I can't ask either side without seeming paranoid or at least making things awkward. All I can do is tell myself to get over it and hope it either doesn't change their opinion of me, or that this hasn't happened.
It makes me unhappy.
