Hmmm...his name wouldn't be DAN, would it be? I'm wondering if my dh is going to your house during the week when he says he's working in LA, rofl
. I don't have children (or I'd be REALLY upset), but have the rest and it's exactly the same way on the weekends when dh gets home. Run, run run, here, there and hurry up to go everywhere, get virtually nothing accomplished other than the house looking like a Chinese fire drill (no offense to anyone, honestly; my nephew is half Japanese) and if dh isn't sitting in front of the tv, dozing off, he's in BED half the day or more. I will stipulate that he DOES work hard and he DOES get up very early all week, but it is still a little frustrating having to do EVERY single little thing around the house (and Im not OCD, but I'm a total control freak in the house esp. and probably come pretty close to it); which includes cleaning up his making a sandwich where he just flops down a couple of pieces of bread onto the COUNTER (no...why bother with a plate; he'd just have to put it in the sink
) RIGHT after I just got done wiping it down! Or take out some cookies, open them up, eat them over the counter and leave all the crumbs just sitting all over it. It is enough to drive a sane person to the brink!
So, I can't give you any advice, b/c they aren't going to change. I just tell him I don't appreciate it and also, I won't buy anymore cookies if he's not able to clean up after himself. Just wanted you to know that you're not alone! And here, I thought I was the only one with a "partner" like that
. And oh yeah...if something isn't within eyesight or jumps into his hands, he has to find me to help him find it....like what's the answer to "where did you hide the tuna?".....it's in the fridge of course, but oh geeze...he had to move another container to see it....if it were icecream or cookies, he woulda sniffed it out, lol.
