[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH has been incredibly supportive of my taking a lesser paying job that requires much more time and energy from me - but one that will help me pursue my long term career goals (and will be financial lucrative at that point). In the process, DH has transitioned to working from home and taking on a lot of the household and childcare duties and cooking. For the most part he is fine. He is excellent with DD, relatively positive, is available for house related issues.

But, he is messy and unclean, and it drives me insane. I mean, as grateful as I am for all the effort he's put in, I don't understand why he can't clean up crumbs or spills or put away dirty dishes. I don't have time anymore.  It's been causing a lot of arguments. My drop in income makes me feel like we can't afford a housekeeper, but I don't have time to clean the floors and vacuum all the time. DH will claim he cleaned the floor, but it will turn out to be a tiny spot in the kitchen because DD dropped something. Then he wants me to be super excited that he "cleaned the floor." WTF.

Any suggestions to make him feel appreciated while at the same time emphasizing basic cleaning tasks?[/quote]

Be happy for what you have. Many women work and does everything at home too. No one will do things exactly the same as you. [/quote]
