I used to be a bit mucky myself but since having kids i find that if I don't keep on top of things, they just accumulate and stress me out...I also have a routine working housework around them so his lack of cooperation and 'I'll do it in my own time' attitude is selfish and annoying.

I don't go on and on at him I just ask if he could do a task that I don't have time to do and his response to that is either a deep sigh (makes me want to scream- so passive aggressive) OR 'I'll do it in a minute' (remains undone most often) OR ignores me/pretends not to hear... My frustration kind of accumulates until all it takes is one more reluctant episode and I just explode. I don;t want to be doing any bloody housework but nobody has to ask me to do it, I just see that it needs done and do it. Sometimes he does a task without the attitude and that makes me feel bad for feeling so negative though...

Married to a paragon who nags me!

He is much neater, tidier and more thoughtful than I am. Even caught him sewing up DDs trousers that were too long without being asked.
