[quote=Anonymous]OP, I really feel for you.  I completely understand how it feels when all your time is sucked into the boring daily grind of chores while your DH does the more interesting large projects and pats himself on the back for it.

What does your DH do for the daily grind?  Maybe ask him to take on more of it.  He needs a set task that is his.  My DH is responsible for cooking breakfast and cleaning up from dinner, every single night.  Tell him you cannot declutter if he does not do a fair share of the daily chores.

And definitely get a cleaning service.  You can have them fold laundry as well.  If you can just get the kitchen and one bathroom under control, they can clean the kitchen and bathroom and launder all the bedding and put it back on the beds every other week for about $100.  That would really help you.

Like your DH I hate traveling and strongly desire an orderly ansduncluttered home.  One reason I hate it traveling is that it produces more clutter.  The kids will bring back more stuff, the suitcases will be half-unpacked all over the place for a week, and the time spent planning, packing, and unpacking will take time away from what I most want-- getting our home under control.  See the connection.  You are both burned out and while travel may be fun, it is also exhausting and a lot of work.

Why are you folding so much?  I keep the kids 'daily cothes in baskets, one per kid.  I put sheets right back on the beds and towels right back on the hooks.  No folding needed.[/quote]
