Hi all, My husband is very lazy. He doesnt fold his clothes nor does keep things in its place.. He does not keep the shoes in the rack.. He throws everything and doesnt know to keep things properly.. So I am doing all the work, starting from folding his bedspreads, washing his plates, cleaning the clutter. Even if i keep telling him to do his work, he is not lending his ears.. If i dont fold the clothes, then it will be lying as is and the house will look messy, which he doesnt care about..Share with me your experiences and ways to handle such an indolent partner of mine... Regards, Akila

A Mess - Help clean up or you deal with it
I guess I am lucky my hubby does laundry and stuff....lol Well you could make sure the living room and kitchen are picked up and the bed. If he takes his clothes off and drops them in the floor in the bedroom or bathroom leave em lay when he runs out of clothes a time or two maybe that will help. What you need to tell him is here is a basket or hamper. Put your clothes in here or you do your own laundry it worked on my stepkids. lol I will say if my husband makes a mess he helps clean it up.
