[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because you weren't nagging him all weekend, that's why.

Some people dont' mind things messy. A good compromise is to get a cleaning person on a routine basis. THat's waht we do.[/quote]

Luckily I don't have these issues in our house because we both like a clean and orderly house. DH is not asked to pitch in, he just cleans up as a member of the family. However, what you are suggesting here, I'm curious about.

So, if you don't clean, do you just leave all your dishes for the cleaning service? Do they come a few days a week? Do you throw your clothes after removing them for the day on the floor and have the cleaning service do it? If you mess the counters and spill things, do you just leave it? What about the trash, does someone take that out? Do the kids leave their toys whenever they want? Since you don't like cleaning, do you hold your kids to the same standard of just leaving it for the cleaning company? How many days a week do they come?

I ask this because although we are neat, we still have a cleaning company once a week. We do all own dishes, laundry, wiping of counters, run a broom vacuum when the floors get too dirty, keep the papers/bills organized, expect the kids to clean up after themselves, and generally put things away after we are done with them. SOMEBODY has to do that, at least in our house. And that SOMBEODY are the people who live in the house. When the cleaning company comes, they mainly just do the deep cleans that involve chemicals, mops, and scrub brushes.[/quote]

In our hosue:

DH does dishes (due to timing of when we do dishes)
DH takes out trash
DW does kids and her clothes. DH does his own laundry
Kids are made to clean up their own toys.
Counter spills are cleaned by person who spilled
General wipedown by DW (since DH isn't bothered by it)[/quote]
