[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am kind of you. My husband would probably say I'm 100% you - ha ha.

I am not great at housework.  I can't walk through a room and just pick everything up and get it where it's supposed to go - it is a process for me, and not a quick one.

While I definitely think you need to work on de-cluttering, I think your husband needs to work in doing, well, ANYTHING. Mine is kind of like yours - thinks somehow the house should look like House Beautiful without him lifting a finger while I do pretty much 100% of cooking, grocery shopping, kids' stuff, etc.  He's gotten a little better recently (will do laundry and put it away) but never mops, sweeps, vacuums, etc.  Oh, and he's not at all handy.

So, I sympathize more than offer a solution.  One thing my husband will and did do was just got rid of the stuff I kept saying I was going to post on the work message board to sell, etc. He just took it away and now it's gone.  That was a little tough for me, but he was 100% in the right.

After reading this thread my plan is to put my routine in writing, be tougher on my kids (8 and 12, but spoiled by life overseas with nannies/maids), bi-weekly cleaner, and negotiate with my husband on the rest.[/quote]
