I don't work due to ill health but dp does and teen does before going to uni and DD2 is obviously at school all day.
I frequently get annoyed with them leaving their stuff everywhere and when I moan about having to pick up random shit lying about get the 'well you don't do anything all day' type comments coming back at me (mainly dp and teen to be honest).
Last week I had to go into hospital for surgery. I made a list of all the things I do every day when they are not here (over 30) and stuck it on the wall so they could allocate the stuff between them.
I got home on Friday and am on complete bed rest for at least two weeks, can't even sit in a chair for more than 15 minutes, and after that will be very restricted with doing anything much at home except maybe chopping up veg for dinner.
None of them seem to have sat down at all over the entire weekend. I don't think they really appreciated all the stuff I did until they actually had to start doing it for themselves.
I am feeling smugger than a smug thing in a smuggly blanket.
Have you ever sat and written down all those little things you do daily without thinking about them? It amounts to ALOT!
This is PirateCate - smug in bed :o
