Slob.

No I have to strongly agree my father is worse far worse than your husband, my dad doesn't do ONE bit of housework, from the moment he gets up till the time he goes to bed he will sit on his backside and watch television, 15 hours a day, day in, day out. Mum has to fetch and carry for him, provide him with regular cups of tea and coffee, feed him, clean round him and cook, wash, iron for him. He doesn't lift a single finger. He even passes mum his dirty cups and plates to take out into the kitchen. So my dad wins that award I'm afraid. The only time he moves is to go to the toilet

Hello chrislotz. I think that it could be the reason that you are very capable of doing the household chores, organizing the house in a good order that he does not have to be so well-organized. If you would like to make him keep your house as well-organized as you do, just leave it the way it is when he leaves everything out of order. When you both leave it this way, I guess, he would not be happy to see it any more and would try to make some changes in keeping things in good order. hehehe. Have a try to see what will happen, please. lol. Thanks for your discussion.

Ha. I've trained my man to clean up after himself. I admit I'm a bit hard on him some time because I'm so anal about kitchen hygiene. Sometimes i have to remind myself that he IS male, and I'm pretty sure it's programmed into them to be messy. However, if I find myself constantly cleaning up after him (chip packets behind the couch, crumbs left on the table, clothes spread over the bedroom floor etc) I tell him in no uncertain terms to lift his act! If I was a stay at home mum/housewife I'd be glad to clean up his mess, but as long as we're both working and bringing home the bacon, he can clean up after himself. I think society has told men that they don't have to be as tidy as women, because their women will clean up after them. Maybe this was the case 50 years ago when women were housewives but times have changed. It's time for women to put their foot down and refuse to clean their man's mess!

Hmm, there must be a psychological explanation for this. Maybe he grew up spoiled, with his mother doing everything for him. That's just my theory. Maybe you should invite some female friends to come over. Let them see all the dirty stuff lying around. When your husband feels embarassed maybe that will push him to clean up.

I know exactly where you are coming from, I am like your husband I guess. When i get home I just want to take off my clothes, jump into my pajamas and just relax. And to be honest everything just kind of lands where it lands. i work very hard, and I just want to veg out when I get home. I do howerver once every couple of days go around and pick up all the dirty clothes and put them in the dirth clothes basket. So I guess I am not too horrible. LOL

My husband is the same way. It must be a guy thing or something. He brings snacks into bed with him. When I get up in the morning, there are dirty cups, empty wrappers, and potato chip bags next to the bed. Not all at the same time, but you get the idea. I will straighten up the house, wipe down the kitchen table after snack and homework time. He will come home from work and put his keys, wallet, laptop bag, smokes, whatever right on the table. Oh, it really irks me. Then he says the house is a mess because I spend too much time on the computer. I think it's a never-ending arguement. I agree with you, its not worth the effort to make a big deal of it. I have tried talking to my husband too, but no luck there.

well, my hubby can be a slob as well sometimes but he is not that bad... and he is getting better over time because i tell him over and over to change his bad habits... and i definitely can't stand to live with a slob...

My youngest son is a tornado, from the outside he looks nice an neat but let him loose in my livingroom and BOOM toys everywhere clothes all the floor shoes from one end of the house to the other. He litery falls apart when he walks in the door as I look at the livingroom right now the coffee table is covered with matchbox cars and cups and bottles, the couch is full of blankets and clothes that are his. Paper wrappers are on the floor so are the toys that have fallen off the coffee table. When he goes to his dad's on weekends thats when I clean up after him, it's a waste of time to do it before then. I never get much company anyway so I don't worry about someone seeing my messy pigpen livingroom lol.

Well as a partner you have to tell your hubby that it is not nice to have those dirty things around he house. You motivate him that cleanliness is a must around the whole house to maintain the goodness in the place.

Hello Chris, That would kinda irritate me, I always make sure, things in the house are in place. My father is not that sort of person too. In fact he scold my little sisters when their things are scattered. Even if his work is somewhat tiresome he always managed to wake up early then he goes on the back yard and do his gardening. He plants root crops. I have 3 sisters who are in primary school and 2 nieces and they sometimes leave their books and used paper on floors. My two nieces are very diligent on getting books and looking onto it as if reading when in fact don't know yet how to read. And afterward if feel bored, they just leave it behind. So every morning, that is what I do, I arrange again the books and throw those used papers. I can't work properly with mess surrounding.

oh I can relate to that. my husband never picked up an item of clothing if he could get me to do it or wash one dish. He loved to cook and the kitchen was a diseaster area. I got to do all the cleaning but god love him he was an excellent cook and Idid lovehim dearly.Maybe this is just something built into some men I don't know. lol

Omg i know what you me!!! My whole family is just nasty dirty and smelly....Me I'm fresh clean and sweet....but i understand how you fell and i think its bull **** we gotta deal with it...

You are not joking when you said that your husband is the biggest slob ever..hehehe. You have lots of patient I may say. If my husband is like that, I will have to make a sermon first then teach him how to clean up the mess...hehehe. I don't want any dirty things lying around at home. I get easily irritated and puts me in a bad mood.
