Dave is the same way. Every few months he will figure it out and we will have this HUGE cleaning party. He will do a few major things for me and then spend the rest of the day patting himself on the back. He always gives me the "I do manual labor for a living" story. Give me a break. It doesn't mean that you can't spend a couple of minutes picking things up around the house. I shouldn't complain too much - he does do a lot of laundry. I would say that we are 50-50 on that. But the rest of it is me. Oh well - oops again - I have a teenager to do the dishes & clean the bathroom. Wait, maybe I don't do much after all. I suck.

Dude, Aaron knew what he did for a living when we decided to get married, have a child, buy a house. Manual labor is no excuse. Yes, I will let him off by doing LESS, but not NOTHING. If he washes clothes, he leaves them unfolded in a jumble. If he cooks, it's fattening, and he doesn't clean up. I'm lucky he even flushes the toilet.
