DH and I can no longer clean house together.
The last few times Ry and I cleaned house together it started an all out battle, LOL.
When I clean house, I do "common areas" first. i.e bathroom, kitchen, etc. Well Ry gets a bug up his butt and decides to do other things that aren't exactly beneficial to the cleaning process. For example, this past Sat we cleaned the house, together. I'm cleaning and scrubbing bathroom floors, while he's in there straightening his closet. It IRRITATES me to no end. WTH does your closet have to do with helping me clean the house. The last time we did this, he decided it would be a great time to hang pictures instead of helping me clean. I know that he probably thinks these other things are important too, yet when someone comes over there not going to look in your closet, there going to be using the LR, kitchen and bathroom.
He tries so hard to help, yet I think he has issues with prioritizing. Cleaning your closet out should be done with the whole house is clean, not the other way around.
I just had to get this out. The more I think about it, the more aggrivated I get about the whole situation.
Re: DH and I can no longer clean house together.
oh Casie, that's funny. I'm sorry.
So maybe you should have "assigned" duties. That's what Brad and I do. He does the dusting, floors, helps w/laundry. I do the bathrooms, straightening and the kitchen. Then we see what's left. We turn the music on XM (off DirecTV) over the speakers and just go to it. It works out great and now we have a set pattern. Plus I don't mind bathrooms if I get it over and done with and he doesn't mind the floors.
Just gotta get on a schedule - talk about it and stick to it.
Ya know?!!?!?
But that's seriously funny about Ry, he's totally trying to get out of it all together!!!
That is so funny - I know what you mean! I think it's easy to get distracted once you start cleaning, and you start wanting to organize closets, etc. It happens to me too.
I have to focus on "tasks" and not rooms so that I don't get stuck in one room doing things like that!
my dh..? clean? bahahahahah!
No really... When we clean at my house it usually goes something like this:
DH: *on floor in living room playing xbox*
me: hey j- I need help getting this place picked up. Will you go <insert chore here>?
DH: *aaaaauuugggghhhhh* *eeyyeee roollllllll* *foaming at the mouth*
me: GET UP AND GO!
DH: *stormily hulks off into the bedroom muttering under his breath, comes back after 5 minutes and resumes gaming*
Him helping out around the house is something we're currently working on in the B household
OMG - that is funny...
I can't clean with Robert either - he just drives me crazy... Or...this is what drives me even more crazier... is the "dash and stash" method of cleaning that Robert does... he just puts crap places out of the way but not where they need to go...then you can't find anything else... UGH!
Or... when he decides its time to clean the house but needs you to help... umm... no! If you want to clean, then just do it!!!
OYE
