She can leave them on clothes rack in house for 3 or4 days drying.
and general dumping of stuff on dinner table, always magazines/clothes/toys/paperwork on there. where its hard to sit there and half lunh half the time. So not dirty house just very messy.and yes i think i do 50% of housework and shouldnt have to do anymore as i do 100% outside. |
Maybe you could choose one? For now.
Dinner table sounds like a good place to start (personally can't stand all horizontal surfaces cluttered - makes me crazy!!) Anyway, it is easily solved. And can be a success shared together.
Who's stuff is it? Everybody in charge of their own. Once a day? Before dinner? Maybe get a nice table runner & centerpiece to make the table look pretty. People may be more reluctant to dump crap on there.
Seems there could be a solution with negotiation, understanding and patience - on both sides.
