How do I politely ask her to stop being dirty?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend keeps making my car dirty.

i’m driving a rental for the time being, I keep it as clean as possible because I deliver food, and I have to return my rental at some point. I drive a decent sized SUV.

She's been taking her kids to football practice in my car, The kids have dirt on their shoes, they’ve stained my floors, & They’ve rubbed their feet on the back of my seats which also causes stains. There’s grass and dirt everywhere.

I don’t mind her using it, but my car HAS to stay spotless since I deliver food.
it’s not an option.

How do I tell her this in the most polite manner?

You have to walk on eggshells with my girlfriend. I’m pretty sure she’s gonna get mad since I’m not really a big fan of kids in the first place, she thinks I don’t like her kids..

You have to walk on egg shells with her sometimes.

I think you made the mistake already, by letting her borrow you car. Now you're stuck.

She probably thinks she deserves it, you are doing 'the right thing' or something.

You delivering food doesn't seem to justify your car being clean. Who's dictating that? Is it really the food delivery company? Sounds like your preference.

But I agree with you, it's your car, your level of cleanliness is what - and all - that matters. She needs to respect that. No matter what reasons (excuses) she gives, if she can't respect that, maybe she's not the one to be with. (Plus, you said you have to walk on eggshells and she's goona get mad. Red flag.)

Be straight up with her. Tell her it’s a job requirement.

i can’t lie you need to be straight up with her since it’s kind of a priority that you gotta keep your car clean. i’m sure she’ll understand where your coming from … maybe like pull her aside and just tell her
