[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 329649, member: 831"] KTMom, I find living in a messy, cluttered, and frankly dirty, house very stressful. My difficult children? Forget it! Most of the time I just don't have the will to fight them on this issue day in and day out. I work full time and am going to school; I could literally spend all of my other waking hours cleaning just to have it made a filthy mess by the difficult children. Daughter's room smells like a barn because of the G-pigs and she doesn't clean their cage often enough. Clean up after herself? Ha! I've blown a gasket so many times with her I've lost count. She will leave the door open of her room and the smell will snake its way through the house. Son? Another "ha!" This kid considers brushing his teeth a "chore". I have come into he kitchen with dirty dishes covering the counter; it doesn't occur to anyone to put them in the dishwasher that is all of about ...oh I don't know...six inches away? Laundry? Oh my....I don't want to think about it. husband is very organized and neat, he always has been. I tend to be the one with "piles". His side of the closet the t-shirts are neatly folded in neat piles. My side? It doesn't look awful, but compared to husband? Not good. Of course, husband has learned the very hard way to keep his mouth shut on the subject. He's gone most of the time working and doesn't have to deal with the day in and day out distressing drama of our children. He DOES do the laundry when he is home and actually does a much better job than me. So, men like him and Tpaul do exist. Then the added stress of job layoff. I'm so sorry. husband worries that might come for us, too, in the future. [/QUOTE]
