<> When someone says something to the affect, "Dh's job is over and can relax after work and my job is never done," yeah, I would say that's whining. It reflects a "poor me, my job is never done, I have to do everything" kind of attitude. I've heard that enough from different people to think if they want their day done, then don't clean up everyone else's messes, make sure they clean them up themselves.
<> If I had to pick up a pair of socks occassionally, I wouldn't mind. Thankfully my DH has always been neat about hanging up his clothes and putting his dirty stuff in the hamper. It's never been an issue with us. However, I have two boys who are slobs. I refuse to clean up their rooms when they're perfectly able to do it themselves. After all, they'll be on their own in about 7 or fewer years, so they need to learn to do it themselves. I feel like they should be responsible for their own messes. *shrugs*

Just keep repeating to yourself: "They are 2 yos with hormomes." And "It's only 5 years."
