I hold my hands up and say that housework is not my forte, my strong point or something I enjoy doing. It never has been and my husband was well aware of that before we got married. He has always done more of the housework than I have, just because his standards (in my opinion anyway) verge on OCD. He can't bear any mess at all. He can't sit down and relax if there is a dirty fork in the washing up bowl, there is any washing in the basket/ washing machine, the floor hasn't been swept in the last 10 minutes etc, etc. It's got to the point, where I can't see the point in my doing any of it as he will just do all over again when he gets home regardless. If I've swept and washed the kitchen floor he will still do it again, if the kids have come in and put wet socks in teh washing basket they have to go straight in teh machine etc. So am I being unreasonable to decide that the floor only needs sweeping once and if he's going to do it anyway it lets me off the hook?
