[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If  you can possibly afford it, household help. Seriously, even if you don't think you are in "that bracket," it's cheaper than divorce.[/quote]

It wouldn't help unless it were every day. It's the daily clean-up that I hate. I run the dishwasher 2-3 times a day because our sink is tiny. Have to pick up the food our toddler throws all over the place several times a day. [/quote]

Here's the issue. I don't deny that your DH probably could help more. But you have to learn to let go. Meaning dishes might pile up and only get washed once a day instead of 3 times. Laundry maybe every other day instead of every day. If you're going to insist not bonky that he does things but does things when you want them and how you want them, then yes you will end up doing it all.

And please teach your toddler to stop throwing food.

And if he or she can't they can only eat strapped in the high chair in the kitchen. At least the food mess will be contained in the kitchen.[/quote]

If they have a tiny sink, then this won't work. The dishes would be all over the counter. Food messes must be cleaned up after they happen; otherwise, it attracts pests. She's not asking him to deep clean the house. He needs to clean up after the kids and fold clean laundry. That takes 30 minutes max. No one is going to come out to do this sort of job. [/quote]
