In a House Like Mine

There is no privacy
There is always someone looking over your shoulder 
Your presence is needed and someone would like you to get off the computer now
Your chair is being leaned on
The bathroom is always full
The floor needs to be swept even if you swept it in the morning once
The new paint on the walls has smudges already and the new sheet rock has dents in it
Someone is hurt physically
Someone is hurt emotionally 
Glass just broke on the tile floor
An animal is thirsty and no one can hear her cries
Your settings on the washing machine were changed to "small load" and there has never been a small load in this house
The floor is sticky
Clothes are dirty
Someone is sneezing, snotting, dripping, farting, pooping, peeing, leaking
Blame is being laid
Anger is expressed
Someone is hungry
Someone is dissatisfied
In a house like mine.
