Danalana replied: Mine does. He even washes his work clothes because they get so nasty...
Yep, he's a good guy!

Maddy'sMommy replied: Mine does not! But he is still a good guy

Farelle replied: Ok, so that's one yes and one
Let's hear it from everyone else..

Oh and Danalana - how do you get him to do it!?!?!?!??!

Miranda1127 replied: NO ugggg

luvmykids replied:

I'm in that category too

A few weeks ago he had a fit about the state of the house and told me to leave while he cleaned. When I got home he'd put the dishes in the sink and swept the kitchen floor and called it a day

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Not hardly. The funny thing is, he THINKS he does which only irritates me more b/c he talks about how messy the house is. If he'd pitch in and HELP it wouldnt' be half as bad.

MoonMama replied: Sometimes but for the most part no.

Danalana replied: Luckily, I don't have to get him to. he just does it. It's a good thing I don't have to get him to...you know how the male brain automatically goes against whatever you say? Nah, I'm kidding. Sort of.

Farelle replied: Ok, keep them coming! I'm feeling better that it's not just MY DH that does it. Although I have to give him "props" for actually helping with the housework, but it's the picking up part that makes me
Do men actually know what a hamper is......??

Danalana replied: OMG, my husband is a hamper maniac! he has like 3 of those mesh pop-up hampers. I honestly don't know why he has all of them, but he does use them

Mommyof3 replied: My DH is sitting here and he says to let you all know that he cleans up his stuff.

Okay, I just turned the monitor away from him...lol

Let's just say our idea of clean is two totally different things. He thinks I'm too picky about how I want things done and I think there is a right way to do them and a wrong way to do them...he always does them wrong...lol Also, if I do ask him to help me clean he goes to the kitchen to do the dishes and that's his cleaning.

He is changing Caroline's diaper and told me to also let you all know that he wakes up with her every night...okay he really does do that. I haven't had to wake up with her once since she has been born because he is so paranoid...but that's another story.

Crystalina replied: Mine will do his own laundry because he will only wear certain clothes and I refuse to do laundry everyday.

Other then the laundery..... no, it's not happening.

HuskerMom replied: My hubby does sometimes but he's always so busy that I do most of it. I don't mind though cuz I hate clutter.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Yes, but only if:
1) I directly and specifically ask him to do so
2) I get lazy and don't clean for a day or two (which happens frequently, cause I've got a lot of slobbish tendencies also) and he gets fed up with the way the house looks

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Yes, most of the time, anyway. The kitchen table gets a bit cluttered up with papers, but that's my fault too.

CantWait replied:
What the heck is that....??????

HARDLY, ever.

moped replied: No!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Sometimes, but not as much as he thinks he does. I've been tempted to not pick up after him for a few days just so he'll believe me about it.

Twelve Volt Man replied:
I've threatened to do the same thing with my wife.

hawkshoe replied: You are kidding, right?

lovemy2 replied:

But when I tell him he doesn't help I get the old

Kaitlin'smom replied: sometimes, it depends on what and when.

lisar replied: Ya right!!!!

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I don't think he even knows how.

He tries sometimes, but I usually have to go back and reclean. And I know he'll say "your standards are too high" , but I'm talking about obvious stuff...crumbs all over the floor for example...toothpaste splattered all over the bathroom mirror...hairs all over the sink...the list goes on...

It's two things with him...he rushes to just get it done, and he doesn't pay attention to what he's doing.........and he gets upset at Tanner for doing the same stuff....hummmm...wonder where he gets it?

indywndy_04 replied: My husband is OCD...he is the cleanest person on the planet...guaranteed!!!

jcc64 replied: No, but he doesn't expect me to, either. He's a genuine, dyed in the wool slob. He's pretty good at cleaning, but the urge doesn't come often enough.

lesliesmom replied: Nice to know my DH is not the only one who doesn't pick up. Sometimes, on the weekend, he'll straighten up the kitchen but that's about it. He's good about outside work but when it comes to the inside.... forgetaboutit. And yet he is the first one too complain that the house is a mess (even though it is slightly cluttered) Go figure!

Cece00 replied: Most of the time, because I am not above screaming at him for not doing it. I mean you know, I am home with the kids, so I do the lion's share of the housework, but the LEAST he could do is pick up his dirty clothes, put his dishes in the sink or dishwasher & just pick up crap he has taken out. We have had a few fights about him picking up after himself, so he usually does it now.

TheOaf66 replied:
at least I try but I can't keep up with the operating room standards she sets and all I can say is at least I make an effort

grapfruit replied:
Guess I'm in that catagory! He actually tells me it looks fine and to leave it. He always tries to con me into sitting on the couch w/him instead. (how evil!)

Oh and I agree w/the hair in the bathroom after he shaves!!!! Ew! Clean it up!

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Told ya! "Standards"...phooey!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Sometimes. I have to do a lot of "gentle" reminding though...

boyohboyohboy replied: of course he does, as soon as i tell him too!

Farelle replied:

That's exactly what it is.....rushes to do it and doesn't pay attention!!! All I ask is to PUT the milk away he's done or pick up the sippy cup of curdling milk that he gave to the kids 8 hours ago!!! It's the simplest things that just don't get done....I can't figure it out?

Twelvevoltman....you should teach classes!!!

Calimama replied: Yep, DH does it without being asked. Before Bella though, not so much.
