Had an argument with Ivy last night. Turns out I don't clean up enough around the house. Which is true, but when I said "I clean the same as much as you!" she replied "The only reason I don't clean is because you don't clean".

Flawed?

    HA! I have had that exact same "discussion" more than I can count. now that's flawed.

    sit down, divvy up the chores and do a little bit each day. that way both people do something to help around the house and both people know that the other is helping. and it doesn't all pile up.

    now if only I could follow my own advice for more than a few days at a time... ;)

    That there is female logic. Don't fight it, you can't win!

    I used to have a similar logic with my ex-husband, although my logic included "and you don't have a job, you just sit around all day and play video games"
    Emphasis on the word Ex mind you :)
    Woohoo

    I've no advice, Kristina's idea about splitting up the chores sounds most practical. Personally I'm a pigpen, so if I were in your shoes she'd be complaining about me. But I live alone so I'm the only one to deal with the mess. Not doing so I think you just strive to find the middle ground.

    Sounds like an argument I had a few months ago and will probably have again pretty soon. My response is, "You cannot be angry at me for not cleaning up when you do not clean up. When you start cleaning up we can have this conversation again."

    there is a good resource on http://organizedhome.com/ this website suggest and i would to making a household note book (see on the right) and having "family" meetings. Now this might seem over the top and it maybe for some. I however have found it useful. In the meeting we (my wife and I) go over what our schedules are like and we divide up to work based upon it and write it out. there are alot of other things you can do. What I have learned that when we don't do this we seem to get into more arguments . However because we plain and we hear where the other is coming from it often works better
