[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone does their own laundry.Kids can start doing this 3rd grade. If your husband is otherwise good husband, hire as much help as you can afford. As others said, it is cheaper (and easier) than divorce.[/quote]

+1 on the laundry. My kids are 11 and 9. They have been doing their laundry since they were 6 or 7. They wash, dry, and put away their own clothes. I wash the sheets/towels/etc and the kids fold and put them away. I let husband's laundry just pile up in his basket.

Train your children as early as possible to help. I cannot stress this enough. So they don't grow up to become like your husband. This sort of thing is taught in childhood - the desire to live in a relatively clean, orderly space.

The kids also clean their shared bathroom, and vacuum their own rooms once a week. They take out the recycling. They unload the dishwasher. Yes, I still load the dishes, cook, clean two bathrooms, mop the house, vacuum common areas but its soooo much less painful knowing my kids will take up some of the slack. [/quote]
