[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 187075, member: 84"] Witz Other than the doorknob and toilet handle thing, you could be talking about my husband. Difference is that I know without a doubt he grew up in a [B]clean[/B] home, no excuse. He is now passing this on to Nichole and Travis in varying degrees. argh! It's something that has driven me nuts over the years. All the time the kids were growing up I'd spend as much or more time picking up after him than the kids. And he has a nasty habit of leaving important papers or dangerous objects lying around. Can't tell you the number of times I've found a large knife lying on an end table when I've got little ones in the house. grrrrr Or listen to him complain that someone has messed with something important of his. Well, if it's important, put it away! No brainer. Arguments have gotten me nowhere. Even if husband "helps" me around the house, he might as well not bother. It can take him 2 hours to wash dishes that would take me 15 mins, plus I'd find the stove and counters not washed and half the dishes needing to be rewashed. Travis and Nichole have picked up his bad habits. And with me in school the past 2 years will little time to keep up on the cleaning.........my house (once spotless) has gone to pot. I've spent the summer attempting to catch up on the cleaning and big cleaning. But everytime I get a room done and start on another........I turn around and they've trashed the clean one again. :faint: I feel like I'm going in a vicious circle. Nor is my house any cleaner than when I was in school. Lately Nichole has been pitching in and is starting to feel my frustration. *sigh* Nowadays I just look at my house and shake my head. :( [/QUOTE]
