[quote=Anonymous]My DH has been 100% remote since the pandemic. He even has an office 30 mins away but has no interest in going in, and his boss lets him get away with it. I’m also full time but work a hybrid schedule and have a long commute. Sometimes I don’t even get home until after 7.

Over the past year, he’s been pretty much devolving into a slob, to put it bluntly. I come home and his laundry is in the bathroom. Or plates of food are piled on the dining table and never seem to find their way into the dishwasher. Even trash piles up unless I ask for him to haul it out. His work room is a disaster. He could easily move a lot of his work-related stuff to his unused cubicle at the office but just, won’t, do, it. We have kids and I’ve been getting them in on cleaning more. He doesn’t push them to clean up after themselves, either. If I don’t make demands of them and tell them to pick up their toys and put their laundry in the basket, no one will.

I’m at my wit’s end. When I’ve asked him to handle his laundry he says nothing, gets snide and defensive or says he’ll take care of it later, and then doesn’t. We’re at the point where the only way we’ll have peace is if I shut up, bite the bullet and do the cleaning he doesn’t want to do. Or I go into work no everyday and let him turn the house into a pigsty. I do acknowledge he will take on certain chores that he seems ok with like sweeping or doing his own laundry when he’s desperate, but that’s about it. The gross stuff is often left to me.

Oh, and yes, I’m already paying for a housekeeper. [/quote]
