Just having had him here for two days last week reminded me that he doesn't clear up after himself, tidy up after himself, remember that there are others in the house to share the food with, etc etc.
I would like to know how people tackle this issue.
Well, I've come to the conclusion that in marriages with kids, the woman ends up doing more than half the work, no matter what. That said, I've learned that it is best with my dh to come right out and ask him to do what I'd like him to do -- i.e. "Honey, would you please wipe off the counter? You left some jam from your sandwich there" or "DD1 needs clean socks -- would you wash her whites today?" Hinting doesn't work, nagging doesn't work, blowing up doesn't work -- but coming right out and asking works!
