[quote=Anonymous]This isn't the solution to everything, but if you have middle schoolers - every person does their own laundry. Train your kids. Do your own laundry and towels/sheets (or train kids to). Up to DH to do his own. Kids can help you with kitchen duty. In our house, the kids switch off by months. I do help them or do it many times, but I know whose responsibility it is and the expectation is that they are the ones who load/unload and wipe the counters. It doesn't take long. (We do it by month so I do not need to keep track of whose turn it is.) Agree with another that making the bed and shoes in the walkway aren't a big deal. Do it when it bothers you. THey're quick tasks when needed. It sucks, but you take on the school emails etc. That is something that can have a bigger impact if things are missed, so just accept that. Big picture - you have to make sure your kids are taking care of themselves and helping you, because it doesn't seem like DH will. If you don't want to go nuclear over it, I would throw money at the problem - more paid help around the house. [/quote]
