OK I am a stay at home mom who feels like all I do is CLEAN!!!!! After dinner we always put our plates and silver ware into the dishwasher (except the hubby) I mean come on how hard is it to open it up and put them into the dishwasher. I look at it this way if my 4yr old son can throw his scraps into the trash and put his stuff into the dishwasher well my husband should be able to. I know his mom trained him better then that. In fact out of his other 3 brother he had to do most of the house work so is he taking a long break from it now...lol. Please tell me that I'm not the only one that goes through this....Oh and this is just a start I have plenty more that he does not do and the only other one that bugs me the most it the toilet seat. I have trained my son that after you use the bathroom that you flush and put the seat down, but once again the hubby don't. I sure hope that when my son gets married he sticks to what he is doing now and he will make some women proud.

Ever since I had my baby girl, I have been on a very prolonged maternity leave. I feel the exact way though all cleaning and baby all the time! My husband seems to be the one who creates most of the mess and I am the one that has to pick everything up. For a month, I actually only cleaned what I dirtied and waited to see how long it would take my husband to clean something. Well never happened. The toilets were nasty the clothes piled up, the living room was a complete nightmare. Even when I do try to put everything the way it was it doesn't seem to work. As far as the toilet seat goes, my husband will actually put the seat down in our masterbathroom. I just told him like if I was talking normally. "Honey do you mind putting the seat down in this bathroom. I heard that the toilets spray fecal matter up in the air when you flush. I just don't want that on our toothbrushes." Ever since that he's done. No questions.
