[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are a stressed out mom of a toddler.  It would be nice if your husband would help a bit more at home, but chaos and untidiness in the home right now go with the territory.  I often advocate divorce for situations posted in this forum, but your situation does NOT even come close.  If you can get a little outside help, do so.  If not, please just stop trying to have a "show house" so you can relax and enjoy your young family.  They grow really fast and you will have plenty of time to clean the kitchen counter when your little one is off at school in a few years.[/quote]

OP here. This is not about having a "show house". Some people hate messiness. Physical messiness creates mental messiness for some. I happen to be one of those people. Cleanliness creates calm for me. As the mother of a toddler i understand that my home won't be as clean as pre-baby, but I would like in the meantime for my spouse to step up and stop contributing to the mess in communal areas of our house.[/quote]

So is this new behavior from DH?  Was he previously tidy like you and then you had a baby and he all the sudden became less tidy?  If you used to deal with this by cleaning after him and now you are too tired or have too much else to do to take care of that, it's sort of on you.  [/quote]
