I admit it, I'm an absolute slob.

My grandparents are always on me about me making a mess. My Papa just warned me that I will be banned from using the downstairs bathroom because I get water on the counters and not clean it up after I wash my hands. The sinks are very low and when I wash my hands the splatter gets everywhere. And if I shake off my hands in the sink, it gets all over the counters, but if I wait to dry it off on the towel, it gets all over the floor. I know I should just stick to the upstairs bathroom that my parents use where the sinks are higher and less likely to get the water everywhere. They already told me to stay out of that bathroom while they are sleeping because the sound of the toilet flushing wakes them up. So I should just stay out of that bathroom.

And now I have to be on top of keeping my room clean. We have a lot of guests that come in and out of the house and I can't have my room a mess (like it always has been at home). To me it's exhausting to constantly clean my room, but I know I have to.

There's a lot of little things I do that make me a slob. I don't try to intentionally be a slob or make people upset, but I do have trouble keeping things clean and neat and orderly and I do things without thinking of the consequences. My Papa is even going to the lengths to teach me how to eat properly...he thinks I eat like a savage and very unladylike.

I'm not sure what to do. I know I have bad manners and I am a slob, but I'm not sure how to correct this. Do you have tips to make me a little more mindful about how I pick up after myself? I'm no longer at home where I can act however I'd like...I share a house with six people and I know it's disrespectful to not make the effort to pick up after myself but I don't know where to begin.
