Yes, I’ve seen worse than that refrigerator. I’ve seen rotten food and every dish in the house dirty. I’ve seen no working plumbing in bathrooms you can’t imagine. I’ve seen garbage piled to the rafters in an old timey train depot with only a narrow path to get from room to room. And I’ve seen kids getting off their behinds and at least keeping their rooms clean and making sure the younger ones are fed.
I’ve also seen how fast trashy parents can get their act together, dispose of the garbage, get food in the pantry, plunge the toilet, repair window screens and holes in the porch by 5 pm after having a little talk with them so their kids aren’t taken away.
I used to play in houses with friends when I was kid that were about this.
What you’re seeing here isn’t uncommon.
