Do you know what? I was not put on this earth to run around cooking, cleaning and generally doing everything for you lot.
I do not buy laundry baskets for you all to dump school uniforms, work clothes etc omn the floor, in the exact spot (wherever that may be) that you have happened to take said clothes off.
I do not wash up every day for you all to use one thing for each new thing you want, ie I do not wash up all the cups for you to use a new one each time you happen to want a cup of tea.
We do have a bin, believe it or not. It's big and black and you have to trip over it to get into the kitchen, so there is no need to leave manky teabags, coffee stained spoons and toast crumbs and crusts all over the work surface that I have just cleaned.
We also have a bin in the bathroom, surprisingly, I know. Therefore, used toilet roll tubes can be put in there, as well as used razor blades or empty bottles.
We have a filing cabinet which you could store all your letters and crap correspondence in. It doesn't have to live all over the bedroom floor, in amongst your clothes (clean or dirty).
Oh and we also have a family diary that lives on the shelf above the computer table. If you did as I suggested and wrote important things down in it, you would not forget that we were invited to a meeting up the school about DD and her behaviour and in turn, you would not therefore roll home from work 4 hours later than you agreed to.
Believe it or not, I don't love this job I seem to have been lumbered with, but I am trying to make the best of it. I would much rather have time to go out and do stuff with our kids, rather than sticking a broom up my arse and sweeping as I go.
I thank you
