Grrrrr!!!!! I am so irritated with my eldest brother! He is so clumsy and messy when he uses my bathroom. I am always cleaning my bathroom everyday. Every morning it has always been my routine and I use it properly and leave it clean after every use. But my so annoying brother is so messy! He leaves the tiles with dirt from his slippers or shoes. I have placed a slipper for the bathroom by the door so anyone who will use the bathroom won't leave footwear marks on the tiles and he knows it. He also don't flush the toilet. He lets his pee stand overnight and it smells yucky in the morning! Even after taking a bath. Expect the bathroom to be dirty. I'd like to tell him that but his my eldest brother and I still have respect for him. His the sensitive type and I don't like him to feel being nagged but its really irritating. I remember my brother's wife told me once that he is really like that. But I think that bad behavior or habit (I don't know what to call it). Anyone in your family like my brother? How do you deal with it? When did you start training your kids in the proper use of the bathroom? How can I tell my brother about it without hurting his feelings?

I will really scold those who dirtied my bathroom, even if it's my sister's husband. I will nag and nag and nag until they changed their lifestyle.

That's the problem with me. I don't nag or shout. I try my best no to. I don't like to hurt other's feelings especially if the person is a family member. I can nag my younger brothers but I still seldom do that. Especially I can't shout at my eldest brother. He is the eldest of my siblings so, I just can't. And if I nag, I'm afraid I might tell him things that he wouldn't want to hear.

I can imagine how annoying you are. You two just have totally different kinds of characteristics, you like things to be neat and clean, but he isn't. I still think the better way is to tell him about this. Perhaps you can give some hints, not telling him directly? Telling how you like the bathroom to be clean and neat, telling him that you spend time to clean your bathroom everyday... Or perhaps you can ask his wife for help?

Well I have been giving him hints. Like I let him hear I am stomping while cleaning the bathroom after he uses it. Sometimes I make faces and mutter when I see it dirty but it seems he doesn't notice it. Maybe telling my sister-in-law would be of help. Hmmm... I'll try it. Thanks!

Your brother is disgusting. LOL. I'll tell him straight that he should clean the bathroom after he use it.
