Possibly. Have you been tracking the pair of dust bunnies on the upstairs landing, to see how large they'll get? I'd vacuum them, but I want to see how much they can grow.

Always. My areas are mine to not tidy. His are his to do as he wishes. I have agreed to keep the living area tidy as we use it together. Hasnt happened in 30 yrs of marriage but he is ever hopeful
The interesting thing is, both my dad and uncle grew up in a fairly gendered household but had strong respect for women and just learned to handle themselves when they lived on their own at college and afterwards.
But then when I was growing up all the other moms seemed to think my dad was some marvel of the world and it just confused me because kid me was like "wait, other dads DON'T do this stuff?" Nope. Nope a lot did not.
That sounds familiar. Do you live in my house when I'm not here?
Thanks for sharing that!

You've agreed to a minimalist level of housework? XD
The interesting part of that story is how many parole violations he’d been charged with. Why is this violent thief still getting parole?
"Done correctly" is not his plan, AFAIK. His $1000 a month without other benefits wouldn't cut it in 100% of the US.
