[quote=Anonymous]I think it's ok for him to expect you to basically pick up after yourself and the kids during the day, but some of the stuff like bathroom cleaning is going to be hard/impossible to do with 3-4 kids running around.  Maybe he could clean one bathroom per week and you could clean the other, and each adult is responsible for their own laundry?

I only have one kid, but I have a full-time job and I'm a single mom who has to do everything. (house, yard.)  I deal with laundry as follows: I have 5 laundry baskets, 2 of which stay in the laundry area and 3 of which start out stacked upstairs.  All laundry gets thrown in the top upstairs basket and when one is full, I take it down and sort it into one of the two baskets in the laundry area.  When one laundry area basket gets full, I do a load or two.  (I separate out by color - dark or light.)  Then the clean laundry is laid flat in a basket until I have time to fold it.  I either do that while watching TV at night, or while supervising my daughter's bathtime.  (she's 5.)  I'll sit right outside the open bathroom door and fold laundry on the floor while she plays with her toys - can usually fold a basket's worth while she plays, then I wash her hair and we're done.  I'll put the laundry away that night or when I'm getting ready in the morning.  [/quote]
