[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel for you and I hope things work out. You mention that his background is a stay at home mom who waited on him and you don't want to re-create that. It sounds like your background was a mom who kept a spotless house and regularly baked cookies. Maybe you need to give some of that up and loosen the reins a little. Your daughter will be fine in a slightly messy house. I grew up in a slightly disorganized house and my house is mildly messy but I'm happy and so are my kids. Your mood, state of mind and marriage will impact your daughter much more than a few dirty dishes or dust bunnies. Maybe try to lower your expectations a bit. Get the house cleaner to come once a weeks and talk to your DH about what chores he prefers. Maybe he'd rather do yard work or laundry. Have you asked him what's going on with him? My DH is not very good with regular chores, but neither am I, so we muddle along and accept the fact that our house isn't perfect. I don't want to criticize, just trying to give you some ideas.[/quote]
