Let me begin by saying I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I have not been in the greatest of moods today so this was a treat. This is definitely an interesting thread. Let's see...where to begin...
First off, as he stated our landlord is coming in this weekend and I like to have everything nice and clean when he visits. I like him to know we are taking good care of his property.
Secondly, I CLEANED THE ENTIRE HOUSE (BOTH FLOORS) FROM TOP TO BOTTOM INCLUDING SHAMPOOING THE CARPETS (INCLUSIVE OF 3 BEDROOMS, HALLWAYS AND STAIRS) with the exception of "his" bathroom (which I did end up washing the floor) so I didn't think asking him to make a bed he sleeps in, putting "his" clothes away, closing a laundry door, picking up the dogs little poop, wiping down the counter and his bathroom mirror, putting away "his" sneakers a big deal.
Third, I don't ask Mike to do much, in fact I don't ask him to do anything in the house except to keep his bathroom clean. And when I start cleaning the house from top to bottom he retreats into another room and then wonders why I start getting what he calls "pissy" and proceeds to say "why don't you ask me for help?" I shouldn't have to...I don't live there alone and I certainly didn't make all the mess.
So with that said, this is why he got a "to do list" when I left for work this morning.
So I'm sorry Sweetie, that I demasculinized you.
