Is it easy to let go, and just be a slob?

It's sad but yes I actually do know a few slobs and lazy people of my own. I understand that once in a while, we do get lazy and all we want to do is stay home, watch TV and not be bother, of course I have two small children, so the act of being lazy really doesn't exist in my vocabulary, but there are other people that take advantage. They lack responsibility and are just plain lazy.

I think we all have days like that sometimes - when you just don't feel like doing anything productive or even if its unintentional! Sometimes you just sleep really late and then before you know it the day is gone!! I hate that feeling of being a slob and unproductive! I think the only way to not be a slob is to actually have something to do -like get a job or go to school or something, so that you HAVE to be up at a certain time! Otherwise it is too easy to slip into being a slob and doing nothing.

I don't know any slobs! I may not be Suzy housewife but I am no slob either. I don't know if there is a way to stop being a slob or not.

I know a few slobs. My brother being a huge one! However,I don't seem to be able to just let things go. My hubby often says to me "The house will NEVER be as clean as you want it" I don't understand the not showering thing. I shower even on my pj days. I just put clean jammies on after.

Hi bounce I don't think I have ever been a slob as a shower, brushing teeth twice a day is a must for me. lol Yes I do know a slob, OMG, he is 28 years old and does not have a job. He sleeps in all day and lays on the couch all the time. He eats almost a box of cereal in a day. He does not care of guests are coming over or not and why should he, as his mother does all for him. She does his laundry and though she harps to us that he is a slob, she does not say a word to him. Therefore, she is enabling him and sadly because he is young and to date can't keep a job as he complains he is tired and quits. I believe the most he has kept a job would be for under a week. She complains he never brushes his teeth, Eeek! It has been at least 3 years since he last worked, sad too because he has a daughter out in the world for which to date he has never purchased a bag of diapers. Anyone sitting and calmly explaining how he needs to change his slob ways will get an earful of fowl language.

There really are people who are like that. Personally these persons are probably still uncertain of their real purposes in life. I presume he's unemployed? I do wish that he gets out of that phase for inevitably it will wear down the patience of the people surrounding him. Have a good day!

I don't mind being a bit of a slob. I do live in my pj's in winter, unless I go out in public. And showering well I don't mind every other day, but if I have to work it's a must of course.

I have to admit I can be a slob quite often. I don't really watch a lot of TV though.. so I'm a computer slob. I wake up, grab my coffee, and sit at the computer. I won't get dressed until I have to. I won't clean unless I have to. I dread nice, sunny days because it means I have to get the kids out of the house, and I don't really want to. I want to just sit here and be a slob. That's not how I am everyday.. but lately I'm craving more slob days. I've been working so much and doing so much that I just want a day of sitting in and doing nothing at all.. not even school work. Unfortunately that's just not part of my life right now.

There have been weekends when I haven't wanted to do a darn thing..lol..I think it's nice to have a day or two every now and again. I know what you mean though..when I do pajama day..I always feel lazy too..lol. I think my daughters have definite slob potential. If I let them..they would probably lay around all day too.

I think we all have lazy days like this. Today is my example. Well, I did work for about 7 hours but I am doing absolutely nothing right now but enjoying the fact that I have the internet now. (Haven't had it in MONTHS AND MONTHS - since march? february? ugh!) and it's just as amazing as I'd hoped it would be lol. Anyway, I'm just chillin' in my sweat pants. I could be cleaning or doing laundry but I deserve a lazy day. We all do every once in a while. So long as it doesn't become an every day thing. No one likes a stinky lazy person. Ha ha.

While I will admit that my house is a mess, I don't think that I am a complete slob. I'm only one person and there is no way that I could be expected to do it all. I'm always all over my kids to try to get them to do something and take some pride in those things that are theirs. With that said, my sister-in-law is a complete slob, they take their clean laundry and just toss it on a chair. She won't do dishes and she won't pick up at all after her children. I really wonder what will happen when they have a home of their own.

Sometimes I enjoy being a slob. :) These are the days when I rarely have work/appointments/meetings and I would hang around our house all day. I would hide out in my room, surrounded with books or armed with the remote control. :D There would definitely be an iced tea or coffee within reach, junk foods, and lots of pillows for my feet. I would take a bath at the end of the day and would have a hard time falling asleep because for a change, I am not too exhausted. :)

I think it's ok to be an occasional slob, and I find that I become one easily when I'm alone in the house for days, I only eat and sleep when I have to, otherwise its the pc for me all the way. Maybe your nephew needs to get a job, get himself occupied and clean up!

Of course it is and it is very dangerous! Don't fall into that trap or you will find it really hard to get out of it. If you feel like that one day just decide to do something that will give you energy again. For me what works is going on a run, I get back play a few video games and then do something productive like writing on my blog or reading.

It is easy to be a slob! I live alone and it is easy! I like to avoid doing things unless I absolutley have to! Not all the time but usaually during the weekend I do the stuff I ignored during the week. Like laundry,dishes and cleaning. I really don't know of someone who is a real slob! I do know a few neat freaks though! LOL!

I have never been a slob all my life. I was always a disciplined woman, specially when it comes to cleanliness. I see to it that i would shower or sponge bath myself before eating my breakfast. Then at night, i would again wash my face before i go to sleep. I guess, i am like this because i know it's for my own benefit.

Hi Bounce. I think it is easy to be a slob if you are a slob to begin with. I think if you are in the habit of being clean it will drive you crazy to let the dishes pile up or let the laundry slide a few days. I also feel that if you are used to keeping your body clean you will feel Grungy to allow your body to go unbathed. It would drive me insane because I'm a bit of a germaphobe anyway.
