Very interesting read…
I’ll have to tell you, and I think you may know this by now,
I ain’t no typical woman… and I think I get that from my parents. Having a spotless house isn’t the most important thing in the world…clean? yes! Spotless? No… As my mom used to say “We don’t live in a show house!” Have a read, I think you will enjoy!
Clutter bothers me much more than it does my husband, and I’ve found the same to be the case with a lot of couples I know. And I care how my home is perceived by visitors more than he does. This is my second marriage, and it was the same with my first. By no measure am I a neat freak, not do I clean excessively, but I do much more housework than husband. He’ll clean if I request a specific chore, but does not seem to notice something needs done himself. Sometimes,—a lot of times—I think men just fake ignorance out of laziness.
My boyfriend is the opposite most times, he cleans much more than I do…might be the artsy side of me? I don’t know.
Being raised by my mother and two older sisters, combined with a lifetime of managing kitchens [until I retired from kitchens], has contributed to me having to see all of the dirt. Doesn’t mean I clean all of the dirt, but I see all of the dirt. Very cool read! 🙂
I think we all see it…it’s just in priorities as to whether it gets cleaned. They say a little dirt is actually better for you, and a spotless house isn’t all it’s cracked up to be…
I agree
Thanks for the reblog!
