[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much responsibility does Person B have to step it up to try to meet Person A’s standards?[/quote]

Does Person B benefit from random shards of glass not being in the apartment, even though Person B would allow that while living alone?[/quote]

In the corner under a cabinet or under the fridge? No[/quote]

Are there kids in this house? Pets? Is it a magical place where things don't move around and shift? Where the fridge might not scoot out and back in, causing completely unexpected glass in the middle of the floor? This whole thread is bonkers to me. If glass is broken, you clean it up. There is no acceptable amount of broken glass you just live with.[/quote]

Hahaha. I just had this conversation with my 13 y.o. son, who broke a drinking glass.  I didn't get mad, but I did ask him to clean it up.  He missed several areas of the floor, and I had to explain to him to look at the base of kitchen cabinets and to sweep in a larger area than just the 2 feet around the glass, since broken glass can tumble further than expected.  Then we looked around together and found several additional shards at the base of the kitchen cabinets, and on the dining room rug (open plan kitchen/dining room).  I pointed out that I didn't want to have to take someone to the doctor/ER for a cut on the foot, since everyone likes to go barefoot in the house.

Hopefully, my 13 y.o. son will not grow up to be the kind of man-child who argues about whether he is at fault and will only fix stuff he is directly responsible for.  [/quote]
