My other half seems to make a point of cluttering every flat surface in house, the kitchen table is piled high with crap, her post tray is bursting with out of date junk mail, he car looks like a bomb site, every door handle has a bag on it that contains something to be returned to a shop, she then returns the item and buys another few that then need returning (thats where she is at the moment the f*cking trafford center). The kids 'Artwork' litters the house in piles to be filed away 'After the holidays', there are toys in every room bursting from every cupboard, the garden is strewn, you clear one are and the little buggers go and smeg up another room, they dont even play with half of it, they get a jigsaw out and remember jigsaws are crap and then go on the pc, leave disks everywhere and plaster the screen with their little greasy fingers (why does anybody need to touch a monitor ?)
The dogs no better, it wanders round trailing is poisonous odour which is imposible to shift, its torn the lino, wrecked my paintwork by scratching to get in or out.

I work all week and then spend all weekend cleaning up whilst she goes and buys more crap !

Rant over, I thank you..

All that and you still managed an OCP.

You are now suffering from Iwanttobesingleitis.

It may or may not pass.

You are not alone, my house is exactly the same.

Can't wait for them to go back to school, so I can tidy and it will stay tidy

Cheers

Yip, just had a big fight about the same thing. FFS we have a cleaner, and the wife's off work. We only have one kid, a six month old.

Kill them all, it's your only option.

Then hope you get a tidy cell-mate.

Are there *any* women out there that:

1. don't leave crap/shoes/shopping/letters lying around
2. subsequently moan at blokes for the state of the house?

I caught a show on yesterday called something like "House behaving badly" where this team come in and completely clean and declutter the house from top to bottom. They use the following questions:-

Do I love it? Is it useful? Do I need it?

If the answer isn't Yes to any of the above the BIN it!!!

Nice to see its not just me, significantly more chilled now having had a can of Strongbow and started a bottle of champagne, ripped through the downstairs with the hoover and tidied up as well, its just as bad as it was, kids spent hours vutting up cardboard boxes and its everywhere, just keep chanting 'it dosent matter'

Dog still stinks so its bath time tommorow !

For the dog
