Julie,

I'm sorry you came home to a mess. Your ss sound like really cool kids so that's a huge bonus.

In regards, to getting your h to clean up after himself, I don't have any solid advice. I do think you should tell the boys to pick up after themselves as they probably see h make a mess and have no incentive to clean up-just following Dad. You could say a simple "h, I would appreciate it if you wiped up a spill and put your dishes on the dishwasher." And leave it at that. Can't say he will follow through.

In regards to the dog, a "H, I appreciate your concern about Fluff. I will make that decision when it's time." End of story.
