I was thinking more of placing the laundry back at it is in there and then let him pick... At least you don't have to see it. But I know it isn't easy to co-habit. My husband and I probably do 50/50 but we go about different ways. I like to do some picking up during the week, he likes to really get go at it once or twice.

But it's hard to make people "see" what needs to be done if they just don't. I had that difficulties with my ex. My solution was to list what I wanted neat in the house for my own sake and thought that, leaving the rest to fall. So I kept the kitchen and bathrooms cleans and when my ex finally looked around and saide that perhaps "we" should clean, I pointed out to him that "I" cleaned every day and what I did. Thing did imporove somewhat after that. :)
