[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]House Rule - If it bugs you enough to feel the need to say something about it, it bugs you enough to clean something up.

If your DH is bothered, he should be in charge of picking a 15 minute chunk of time every evening for decluttering for the whole family. He has to do all the mental load of planning, getting everyone to participate, leading from the front, making it fun, and supervise, evaluating and adjusting. When is it? Who does what? What items become regular declutter items? Which areas of the house?

Very uncool to criticize you.  You are not the master maid or house fairy. [/quote]
Since you admit this has t happened much before there IS likely something bothering him. It could be the chaotic, rotating mess you talk about. It could be work or extend family stress?

Meanwhile, pls do try to enforce tidy ness and cleaning up BEFORE moving in the next thing. 
This is basic and schools reinforce that as well. 
No need to start a book when the games aren’t back up on the shelf, or start TV if the table wasn’t cleared, or leave legos box out and start a book. Pick up after yourself, don’t leave it for the Magic Fairy to do or the “im gonna open it tomorrow” excuse.[/quote]
