[quote=Anonymous]DH and I both WOH and have a kid. We have different mentalities when it comes to chores. I'd rather take a little more time to get it completely done even if it means getting less done in a time period whereas he'd rather get more tasks done in a time period even if it's not done completely. He does things like: Overload the dishwasher (stacking items on the top part) so that nothing is left in the sink but then the things stacked on top don't actually get clean. Do the laundry but then not check for things that shouldn't go into the dryer even though he knows what's not supposed to go in the dryer. Or take things out of the dryer when the cycle is over and not check if things got completely dry and then the stuff smells mildewy. Or fold clothes but not bother to check if they're inside out first. I've been told I should be thankful he does any of these things but I don't believe that should be the case. We had discussions before getting married because I wanted to make sure he wasn't one of those guys who thinks that the woman should do all of those tasks. But is it too much to ask that they get done completely when he does do them? It actually creates more work when it's done half assed. We both do these tasks but he works from home a few days a week and my job doesn't allow me to so he has more time at home. And for those who will ask--no he doesn't have ADHD. In fact, I'm the one with diagnosed ADHD and I take meds for it. [/quote]
