Hi Lady, they don't pay rent. My son took the mixer and put it in the cabinet where the pots go. Now there's not a lot of room where the pots go, but at least it's not on the counter.
To be honest, I don't really cook anymore because of the kitchen situation, I do a lot of take out because I feel like they've taken over the kitchen. I know this isn't a great solution to the kitchen mess.
Thanks for listening and for the good communication tips.
