fascha (4/19/2006)
I'm glad it's not just my FH then, and that there is a light at the end of my tunnel! Icy - FH also gave me the song and dance about the "man duties" and I put the kybosh on that stat! Try this... THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE Vaccuming the bedrooms - 2 times/week
Cleaning Wood Floors- 2 times/week
Sweeping Kitchen - daily... maybe twice!
Mopping Kitchen and Bath floors - Once/week
Changing the bed sheets - Once/week
Dusting ALL the surfaces of the house - Once/week
Dinner and Dishes - Daily... likely twice
Cleaning windows and sils - Once/month
Laundry and Ironing - 2 times/week
Drying, Folding, Putting away Laundry - 2 times/week
Scrubbing Toilets- Once/week
Cleaning Mirrors and Bath Countertops - Daily
Cleaning Shower/Bathtub - Once/week
Grocery Shopping - Once/week
Cleaning Miscelaneous things like the fridge, closets and drawers... things that you don't think of - Once/Couple of Months Holy crap fascha - this list puts me to shame! When do you have time to do all this stuff? That's amazing, girl! DH does a lot to help out around the house, but we don't have a lot of time during the week - neither of us gets home until at least 7 at night, and often not til 8. I go to bed at 10 or 10:30, so we'll do a LITTLE housework at night, but I want my down time too... and then the weekend comes and it's just cleaning all weekend, which sucks too. I'm working on getting a cleaning lady, but DH is holding out... I'll convince him one of these days! 
*All I know is I hope that we're better than that*

Oh Kelly I don't DO that; I don't do much trust me! I live with my parents but my mom stays home and that's what she does; so I want my house to be like what I'm used to. We will most likely end up with a cleaning lady because I want down time too. I work too hard to spend the 1 or 2 days I get with FH cleaning! lol

| Hello girls, I thought i'd join in your conversation,,it's pretty funny how the brides have the same concern when moving in with FH. I, too, am waiting til after our wedding to move in with him..but the funny thing is I am the other way around. I am more concern of him being too neat. My FH has minor OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) everything has to be spotless and put into place. If we were to fight it's because I didn't put water in the Brita or because I didn't hang my coat in the closet or I didn't wash the dishes.

| It depends too...for instance, we went to visit his parents but drove late at night. Got there at 3:30am and we were both tired from driving, so instead of going to bed, he had to unpack our bags and placed all toiletries in the washroom. I mean little things like that can drive you crazy. It's good for major things like keeping the house clean and doing laundry but sometimes it's a little bit too much. It's in his nature but it's all good.

I'm not worried about this at all. FH maintains his room (it's always neat, tidy, vacuumed and dusted) he maintains his fish tank, he does all his own landry, snow blows in the winter and mows the lawn in the summer at his parents house. He even offers to do the dishes after I prepare a meal. Though his mothers standards are slightly less then mine and I would never actually allow him to do the dishes (the kitchen and the washroom I am anal about). I am confident that his mother has instilled a great worth ethic and responsibility in him.. the only thing is he will need to be reminded when it comes time to doing the work but he only needs to be asked once.
