[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the slob in our relationship and I don’t really notice mess. It really bothers my wife though, so I try to respect that. So my wife and I made a list of tidy-up chores that I am solely responsible for, and so I do them on a schedule regardless of whether I think there’s actually a mess.

[b]We also have Family Cleanup Night and Family Laundry Night once or twice a week where we put on music and all work together. Our boys are 6 and 3 and we’ve been doing this for a few years. The message is that we are all part of the family so we all need to help clean up, regardless of individual perceptions of mess. [/b]My wife has also relaxed her standards and seems to appreciate the effort by all of us even if the boys or I don’t always do things the way she would.[/quote]

Just wanted to say I like this team-oriented approach. I think it sends a good message to the kids before they turn into surly teens. Even at their surliest, my teens still pick up after themselves.  :D [/quote]
