Now firstly I want to caveat this with saying how much I love my DH and how grateful I am that he does housework, and I am not exactly Kim or Aggie myself, but why does he have to do 'man' housework.
I work 4 days a week and DH is a SAHD for 3 of those so the bulk of the housework is down to him. It's not ideal, I hate housework, but also hate the feeling of not being in control. Now DH NEVER badgers me if I have been at home and haven't done any housework. But today I came back and he had completely sorted out the book shelves. They get messy and full of crap and he had got rid of all the crap, found homes for stray books and lined all the books up neatly. But strewn over the living room was various bits of washing up from the day, and in the kitchen was rubbish that hadn't been put in the bin (we have a tiny kitchen, it is no effort to put stuff straight into the bin). I explained that while I am very please that he spent ages sorting out the bookshelves that the key to keeping our house tidy is to do things as we go along, like putting rubbish away, clearing up the washing up.
He does this regularly, the house will get into a real mess and he will spent hours clearing it from top to bottom and it will look sparkly and lovely - for about a day then it goes back to normal. I would much rather have a generally tidy house for longer than a spotlessly clean one for 2 days then chaos until he next gets the cleaning bug.
I know I should be grateful, and I am, but I prioritise taking clothes out of the living room (I can't understand how so many of his clothes get left there) to having beautifully tidy bookshelves. Also, when he tidies things he just squeezes them all (very neatly) into cupboards so you have to take a load of crap out to get to anything! He doesn't like things being left out and regularly clears stuff away but I tell him we need to actually find a place for stuff rather than just shoving it in a cupboard. The keys/batteries/glasses etc all need a home somewhere, so it's no good just saying 'stop leaving stuff on the shelves/chest etc.' but find somewhere accessible to put them.
Bless him, he is good, and for the most part uncomplaining (unlike me )
Do any of your DPs do 'man' housework?
