[quote=Anonymous]Look OP, you can do a few things. Wait til he realizes it's a pig sty which could take like a month (or if you're lucky 2 weeks like PP's DH).  He doesn't have the awareness yet that he needs to contribute to keeping the household running (or else he's in denial or feels entitled to living like a king).  He needs to get that awareness, and nagging probably hasn't worked.  Maybe if he is surrounded by his own filth, he'll get a clue. You could clean up after yourself and not clean up his messes but that may not go over well. I think a lot of people don't realize that cleaning is too much work even for a SAH spouse.  Or, you could make a chore list, tell him it's too much work for you to clean up after everyone, and have him pick out his favorite chores. Turn on some music every weekend, set a timer for 5 or 10 min, and everyone needs to help out.  Slowly add more time to the timer.  You could rotate chores too so everyone gets to do the dirty work. Or, like other people say, hire some maids, or else severely downsize your stuff so there is less to get in the way and it will take less time.[/quote]
