Does he fold, hang and put things away the same way that I would? NO! But I'm with you.. as long as it gets done I don't care. I used to go into the linen closet and rearrange everything behind him, but I gave up on that years ago. If someone knows me well enough to be in my linen closet, I figure they know me enough not to hold it against me.

Like my Grandma used to always say..."As long as it's clean and paid for..."
Wish we had someone to come in and clean. I've been lobbying for it, but hubby just won't go for it. There were 3 women in the house, but one left for college a couple of weeks ago. Now there are two of us and he can't see why we should pay someone to come in. I try to pay my daughter to do it, but she'd rather lifeguard at the pool than take money from me to clean house. She helps with the cleaning, but never seems to quite finish. Always something left undone.
