[quote=Anonymous]My house is always immaculate because having a clean, organized house is important to me. I recognize that my DH does not even see clutter the way I do. Neither do my kids. A cup sitting next to the sink would not even be on their radar. I would notice it instantly - like a hawk sees a mouse. Expecting my DH to put his cup in the dishwasher sounds great, but he is not going to remember. If I remind him - even nicely - it's going to sound like nagging. And we aren't talking about a sink full of dirty dishes. It's one cup. Or one plate. It's not worth becoming "that wife". So, I will get mildly annoyed, then smile and remember all the really great things he does all day. And I'll put the dish in the sink. We have been married 30 years. I think we have both learned to let the little stuff go. Yesterday my DH and my BIL tracked mud all over my kitchen and dropped a deer head in my shiny new farmhouse sink. Normally dead things are dressed and processed before they come inside. Apparently they wanted the boys to see the rack before they removed it. Gross. That is a hill worth dying on. I think I scared them both. The did a great job cleaning up.[/quote]
