Nightly snack that plate etc. is left in family room. Walks right through kitchen to go upstairs! DUH!!! No TP on roll!!! Fixed this one, started leaving the roll the way I found it. Now you get up with your dirty butt to get a roll!! Things have definitely improved!!

After the kids all moved out I am not the housekeeper I used to be and most of the time DH is picking up after me :oops:
But there is a very annoying thing since he quit smoking half a year ago:
it took me quite a while to figure out where those poudery white stains on the tiles and the parquet floor came from. After talking the shower he puts the thoothbrush in his mouth and wanders to the toilett, the closet to get new cloth, back to the bathroom to have a look in the mirror and so on and on.........dripping all over the place!

I pick it up and put it in my box. If they want it back, they must pay 50 cents and item to get it. Anything not ransomed within 3 months is donated to the Salvation Army.
I AM THE MEANEST MOMMY IN THE WORLD!!

I have the oposite.... I don't know how that man can stand it! I make myself crazy when I do this!...
I leave EVERY cabinet door and drawer I go into, open, just a crack when I'm in the kitchen. He's so sweet ; he just walks around a closes them all, and never says a thing! Sometimes I'll walk back into the kitchen from some other room, and just scream in frustration when I see I've done it again!
Yet he still loves me.

Please gals, make the best of it, as you know we aren't perfect either. I lost my husband 3 years ago to ALS and would give anything to be picking up his dirty laundry, listen to his snoring or trying to get him up from the sofa at 12:30 a.m. to come to bed.
