[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH hates clutter. Drives him nuts. So he will shove things in drawers and cabinets.

I have a thing about actual cleanliness. Dishes that can't go in the dishwasher need to be washed with "hot has hand can bear" water. Counters need to be sparkling clean. Bathrooms need to be disinfected. Towels washed and dried on hot. DH will wait until the towels start growing things before actually washing them.

He is neat. I am clean. Together, our house is presentable and livable. [/quote]

This is how DH and I are, except we are flipped:  I cannot stand clutter, and DH is more concerned with actual cleanliness.  My brain just gets anxious and cannot concentrate when I see clutter, clutter, clutter.  I always am putting things away exactly where they go and arranging and rearranging and redoing if I think of a better way to organize.  I won't mind so much if I see dust covering the dining room table, though, or the cat hairs on the kitchen floor.  I don't know why, it's just the way I am!

So, DH does the CLEANING and I do the organizing.  :)  We are a decent team. :)[/quote]
