A funny one is if you get a new home with multiple en-suites. That means additional toilet cleaning and the like.

When we rented there were 3 toilets in the house - my girlfriend is so pleased that we only have two now.

For me, it's the kitchen because it gets so much use. I'm pretty neat and tidy about it all, but when you work at home, have dogs, and alot of people in and out, it's constant.

we have trouble, too, keeping order in our kitchen...my sister has trouble organizing the stuff inside the refrigerator and i find it hard keeping the floor neat at all times....

I find it hard to keep my whole house in organization!
I have a 3 year old and a 15 year old brother livign with me as well as a partner!
They dont help at all.
So its all left down to me.
Sometimes I will spend the whole day cleaning, only for them to return from school and work and then the next day to be back to normal again.
It irrates me when this happens and puts me off doing it the next time!

oh, that is really frustrating! have you talked to your 15-year old and your husband about this? they must really do their part in helping you out around the house.

I always talk to them about it, then they help for a little while and things slope again!
I think its best if I just run away and then they may appreciate just exactly how much I do for them!

lol. what about giving them individual assignments? that way they will each feel a sole responsibility for the particular task he is assigned with. it may also help to write everything down and post them on a place which you all frequently see. of course, these are just suggestions, destiny.

It wont matter they will just say whats in it for me!
Just a pity I diddnt think like that or I would be waiting forever eh!

Hoovering! It's so simple, I know, but I need to hoover every day since I have wooden floors. I have animals that run around and carry bits of whatever here and there and it's so frustrating.
