Fucking laundry day...

[kseenaa]

I am in SO MUCH PAIN! X-/ Equal relationship we are not.

How a laundry day goes:

peting73 throws first two loads in the washing machine when he gets home from work, then goes to daycare to pick up Alexandra. Plays with her and eats a fruit, then changes the loads in the washing maching, getting two more loads going. Cooks late dinner. I get home, help with dinner. I take care of the cats litterbox. Peting puts Alexandra to bed, then goes to computer. I take care of all dishes. I prepare my breakfast for the morning. I pick up any mess. I go down to get all the laundry, fold it and put it away. All of it. And today I baked muffins to bring to work on Friday. It's now 11pm and I just NOW got to sit down.

Did I mention my hip hurts like hell? *grumpy* I seem to get stuck doing the bigger parts of the household work, and I'm the one that gets home at the latest!

Don't fold his clothes? Just place them in his wardrobe. But it's easy for me to say because here it's my husband who all the laundry, the only thing I has to do is fold and iron my own and the kid's clothes. I only pick up after myself too, and work around husband's stuff. :)

Oh no... If I don't fold and put away, it won't. And don't let me start on how it looks in the wardrobe in his drawers, especially in his t-shirt drawers. It's just... yeah. *sigh* He keeps saying he'll take care of it, but never does. Ugh. :-P

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. :)

I try to let him do this his way when he does get a case of the cleaning mania... But when it comes to laundry he's really hating that, so as soon as I get home, he just drops it basiclly.

Doing the list thing sounds like an excellent idea, actually! I might do a version of that. Thanks for the tips!
