[quote=Anonymous]I see this mentioned in EVERY thread where the woman is complaining about having to do more house chores than her husband. We all know this is reality for many couples but the proposed solution is always to outsource cleaning rather than force the DH to do his fair share. I have some practical/logistical issues with this as an actual solution.

First, most people don’t have the extra money for weekly cleaning or even e/o week. But even if you do, there are still chores that need to be done EVERY day. Dishes, laundry, making the beds, sweeping/vacuuming highly used areas (kitchens, living rooms, entry ways), sorting and filing mail, putting groceries away, etc. Now that my kids are older, I find that I have to clean the bathrooms every few days or they get seriously gross from the pubic hair they inadvertently leave on the floor, dirt or soap rings in the bathtub, pee stains on the toilet rim, etc. etc. I would be embarrassed for a guest to use their bathroom and see it so dirty. So I have to clean it every two days or so.

Who is doing those things? Are you just letting it pile up for the housekeeper once a week? Do most people just live in filth rather than make the husband help clean up after the household he is part of?

I seriously do not understand how anything short of hiring a [u]daily cleaner[/u] (which obviously most people cannot afford) would fix the problem where the DH does no cleaning. Make this make sense, lol.[/quote]
