[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband was an only child with a single mom.  He always had his own bathroom.  I find many of the tings he does that gross me out are attributable to him having had his own bathroom growing up and having a mom who probaly never checked on his spaces.  His mother keeps her home in a manner I find disgusting but I do value cleanliness and tidiness highly.  She does not.

I have had to really work on a few of the bad-habit-items in order to live with DH (toilet seat goes down, wet towels get hung up, dirty laundry goes IN the hamper) but, I also hired a weekly cleaning lady and a weekly lady to do some of the laundry and all the ironing in order to preserve our marriage.

DS will NOT be allowed to develop those same habits and neither will DD.  Slovenly behavior is purely due to laziness and it is your job as a parent to teach your children proper habits.    That includes cleanliness and neatness.  Of course kids are lazy, that is natural.  They can do what they want once they leave your house but you need to do your job as a mom/dad and instill these values.[/quote]

How old are your kids?
I used to say the same things. Get off your high horse.[/quote]
