Hahaha dont worry, mine might do the washing but ask him to find his wallet or keys before he leaves for work and there is zero hope/they’ve disappeared off the face of the earth/he’s lost them forever then I get up, look in one location and find them all. So they all have their flaws in different places!!different things work for different people hun, not gonna lie I am a tad jealous haha. my bf saves his clothes up in a pile next tot he bed. every morning I lift them, fold them and put them back on the bed as a hint....they get threw on the floor again that night and the same happens the next day until he decides that they all need washing and he DESPERATLY needs the pair of jeans that's been in that very pile for over a week haha. sounds like you have a good man there x
I'm considering getting a cleaner when we get a bigger house, because I'll drive myself crazy.We have it split 50/50 but I’m not going to lie, we do have a cleaner who does a deep clean once a month, other than that we share all the cooking, cleaning and child care.
I have asked my husband if he half asses stuff on purpose so I wouldn't ask him to do it again. He swears no but I am not buying itLet's remember that men do a worse job at chores so they don't do them again!
That’s exactly why we got it. We do it day to day but I’d muc prefer to pay a little each month and spend the extra time with my children.I'm considering getting a cleaner when we get a bigger house, because I'll drive myself crazy.
We have a cleaner - it’s £30 a week in London and that gets our two bedroom flat spotless and all of our ironing. It takes me 5-10 mins a day absolute maximum to keep on top of it. I figure I earn more than that per hour and don’t want to spend time at the weekend doing it so it’s worth it to me. There are a lot of luxuries I would go without before not having a cleaner. Appreciate I am fortunate enough to be able to afford it but I do think it’s worth every penny.
I had a cleaner when I moved to my first house, after selling my flat. I 'inherited' her from previous owner. She took the piss. I used to come back from work to find things like the vacuum cleaner in the middle of the room and the cat's pooper scooper for the litter tray on the kitchen counter. Then she started leaving me £1 coin for a phone call with a note. When I checked my phone bill she was using my landline to make a call of almost an hour. I presume it was so her husband couldn't check her phone and realise she was calling another man as it was a man when I called the number and checked. She'd also argue with me about what things she wanted to clean. I sacked her and would like another but would want to be there to supervise.I'm considering getting a cleaner when we get a bigger house, because I'll drive myself crazy.
Your fiancé sounds like a great guy! My oh wants to get a cleaner so he doesn't have to clean, but the reality is that there are odd jobs that need to be done daily etcMy fiance works full-time, I am not working after being let go. I have applied for jobs but it is a tough market.
We typically go grocery shopping together at the weekend, if we don't manage, I will go on Monday. I will do the meal-planning but check with him that he fancies those meals that week too.
For general weekly cleaning, I do that.
Vacuum, mop, dust, bed sheets, bathrooms, laundry, etc. Sometimes if my fiance is off, he will mop as he enjoys it.
Depending on when he gets home, we will often cook together. Sometimes I will prep stuff like chopping or make the side dish so we just have to do the main part. Whoever does the cooking (frying, etc), the other person washes up. If he won't be home until later, I will make dinner and he will clean up.
My fiance does a lot around the house such as DIY, whether painting, yard work, building stuff for us.
In the spring, we do a huge deep clean that we do together over a weekend.
