He is welcome to come clean my house. My dh sometimes will start to clean, but he can't seem to finish anything. He will go in the laundry room and get his (and only his) clean clothes and he will fold them and stack them on the bed. Then he quits and tells me he took care of his own clothes. (that I washed and dried and since he goes to bed before me, will be on my side of the bed waiting for me to put them away) He will clean out the car by gathering trash and putting it in a bag and then leaving it in the car. Often I don't see it because it's between seats. So I drive the kids to school and as soon as we get the huge wheelchair and all six kids out, I drive home and the first corner I turn, yep all the trash comes pouring out and is all over the car. Then complains that he is the only one who ever cleans out the car. Of course when we all go somewhere and have luggage and stuff, he gets out of the car and goes in the house empty handed! I am now getting better at reminding him to help bring stuff in. I have learned that the only way to get the car unloaded is to either do it myself or assign every kid, including dh a tast specifically and tell them three times. He also loves to put trash on the counter three inches from the trash can! If I ask him to clear the table he throws everything in the biggest pan on the table (even if it still had food in it I would have saved) including paper towels and napkins and plates with food on them and toss the whole thing in the sink. We do not have a garbage disposal or a working dishwasher so I have to fish all that stuff out. I have tried having him or the boys do the dishes, but they are so disgusting when they are done I am giving up. He really is a good guy, but just no help housekeeping. So you are lucky to have one that helps with that.
