[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel really silly, but this post was a huge epiphany for me.  I have exactly this same issue in my house.  This is why I feel like housework takes forever, and it’s this impossible never-ending task.  No one, including DH, ever cleans up after themselves.  DH is often the worst.  
I was just outside trying to play with my kids, and the grill was sitting in the middle of the deck, open, from where he grilled three days ago.  The hose is also out, along with a bike helmet and a bottle of PAM.  I pick that up and walk down to the yard, where there are several tools and some trash from when he put up a pea trellis the other day.  
So now I go to play with the kids, and I only have 15 minutes instead of 1/2 hour to play the game.  [b]But if I didn’t clean it up, it would just sit there[/b] until either I cleaned it or I told one of the kids to do it.  [/quote]

*putting on my therapist hat* and what would happen if you just let it sit there? [/quote]

a) It would get rained on and ruined.

b) one of the children could get hurt playing with the tools

c) It’s unattractive.  [/quote]
