Here’s what I think would be interesting, however…
How often does he realize that the house is clean or all his clothes are folded or that the cupboards are stocked and that it all happened without his doing it?
Oh, don’t get be wrong. I am still going to try out Haikusue’s strategy to get B to pick up his dirty socks. But after seeing B intensely trying to get everything done this weekend I realized that he has moments of being overwhelmed and feeling like on a treadmill and I don’t always give him the sympathy that I expect for myself. So I’m going to try and put myself in his shoes more.
Plus, he does do the most disgusting chore in the house - cleaning the litterbox. Ick.
Ah…this same thing happens to me too.
