[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 419534, member: 84"] Susie Mucking out takes a very long time, most especially in a kitchen I loathe a kitchen that has gone to pot.......because getting it back up to snuff again can take days, easy. Any other room in the house I can pretty much get back up to decent within a few hours or at longest a day. Not the kitchen. blech husband has sat here on his fanny for more than a year......almost 2 now doing nothing but playing his computer. He puts in token job apps for unemployment because he draws his social security. Now that unemployment benefits are almost up........he's scrambling to find a job. Cuz he came to me not long ago to tell me about the unemployment (which I already knew) and I said gee, you'd better find work fast huh? I've been through this with him too many times. He gave me this look........and I shot at him before he could stick his foot into his mouth that I can't study for the state board and land a job in less than a month! Just NOW rl has settled down to where I can actually open a book and study.....omg! Has he helped me during all that time? Well my house wouldn't be in the condition it is in if he had. Now.....since he knows he's on thin ice with the job deal.......he's in cleaning mode and has been working on the family room since katie's junk is gone in spurts. The mice are helping to motivate him. The only way I can get husband to move is to nag him to death.......or let my temper flare, which he's afraid of cuz I'm pure hades to live with if I am truly mad. I hate to do the latter.....but I will if necessary. I'm not cleaning this whole house by myself.......I didn't even make 99 percent of the mess. ugh You're not expecting too much. But it might help, especially with the kitchen, if you supervise him a bit and maybe offer hints as to how to do things in such a way as to make it quicker and easier. If I ever get to the point where I can no longer clean........I'd better be able to afford to hire a housekeeper. :sigh: [/QUOTE]
