does your DH have a "mancave"?

I have the rest of the house, though I share most of it with the kids. I get quite snitty if my husband leaves work papers on the kitchen island-- they mix in with MY work papers, and my coupons and the kids' artwork. That's MY space. Ditto the coffee table, the hall table, and the bedroom floor. Mine.

Also, we have a basement bathroom, which is HIS. I don't clean beard trimmings off the basin, and he doesn't dig long hair out of the drain. He doesn't have to hunt for his deodorant in my cosmetics basket, and I don't have to look at his goopy speedstick. I can live with a tub full of toys MUCH more easily than an insufficiently-rinsed sink.

And it's not as if he's not sharing his space with the kids, too. Basement is his, first and second floor are mine, the whole house is theirs! They're kind of like cats that way.

Maybe you all should move into different homes? Since you didn't list anything that was "ours"...

This is a DH here...

We have his and her caves in the basement. Unfortunately, half of each room is filled with boxes we, "need to get to" since our move.
... and I have a "man space" garage for the sports car(s) and woodworking shop. The upstairs of it will be (when I am done) the DCs space.

I guess the reason guys have "man caves" is that we have large and messy toys... or toys that result in a mess.
