DH and I both work full time. I work from home but I am freelance and really work hard and cram in the work as much as possible. We have 3 DCs, ranging in age from 5 to 14.
I am sick to the back teeth of everyone else in this house wanting to live in a total dirty pig sty and not cleaning up after themselves. I do everything at the moment; laundry, housework, cooking, shopping, cleaning up, tidying. Everything. The eldest will occasionally hoover her room but that is about it.
And it's not just the basics of running the house; everyone is so dirty and so messy. I came down this morning to a kitchen floor covered in mud, and plates, bowls, cups and glasses everywhere. I had to clear it all away before I could get breakfast for the youngest and I. They all leave stuff everywhere; books, clothes, shoes, dirty crockery and cups, wrappers, magazines, you name it.
DH makes it clear he won't do anything in the house. He will maybe stack the dishwasher once a month or sometimes bring in a few bits off the clothes line (and then dump them on the worktop or floor for me to sort).
I am totally fed up with it. Before I can do any housework I have to spend around 2 hours tidying up first every day, it's that bad.
