This is a spin-off of to the cook & clean thread posted earlier & is for the married ladies.
So, after two years of marriage- I've noticed my husband is different when the house is kept clean vs when it is not. The differences in him aren't blatant, they are more subtle. He's a lil' nicer, a lil' more affectionate, a lil more peaceful and more apt to do his chores. I wonder if a clean house really affects a man's attitude or just my man's??
And, in addition to that- even though we live in a new school type of society, most married women who have been married for more than 10 years tell me that it is my main responsibilty to keep the house clean. Even if I have two children, even if I work a full-time job too. It's nice that he helps but ultimately it's up to me or else it won't get done right. Do you married ladies agree with that?
Lastly, I'll go ahead and be honest here- Keeping the house clean is a J-O-B for me, and have yet to find a method that does not keep me from having to get up early Saturday morning and spend 3-4 hours cleaning. Any suggestions would be wonderful, especially from women who have small children. I like to keep my man happy.We like keeping each other happy and this is the main area I need to improve in. I got the cooking down pat though!!
Thanks for your response!
