This is what I did when I was married to a slob.  Take a gigantic trash bag and put everything in it.  Throw it out in the yard and see how long it take him to realize it's there.  When he asked hey honey where is my ____  just say you got tired of looking at it and threw it away.  Next, when he is asleep in bed at night, get out all your tampons and maxipads and throw them on the floor on his side of the bed.  This one really freaks them out.  Put all his dirty socks and underware inside his pillowcase so he can use them as a pillow.  Hide his real pillow.  Also, to get them to do their own laundry, get something new and really red to wash with his whites.  It turns everything pink and he willget tired of wearing pink unerwear in a hurry.

Get your hubby to help out more.  If he won't, then go on strike.  How old are your kids?  If they're old enough, they should have chores.  No one should have to work more than others in a family.

Dinner, dishes, help kids with homework, get the kids cleaned up and ready for bed. Laundry too, I hate the way my husband does the laundry!

Well, I would suggest getting an air freshener. There isn't much you CAN do about it unless you just give your husband a bottle of Beano or something like that. Hmm. This never happened in my house. Why don't you try to vary the menu a little bit, too?

First chill out, dont start biting his head off just for not cleaning up or being a little late.  GENTLY ask him or talk to him about whats been going on in his life lately or how his days have been, could be work related, could be not feeling well, we all can't have days where we're up and about getting everything we want, done and on time............so just talk to him, its no reason to start giving him the cold shoulder unless he's out partying or "elsewhere" and coming home late.  He shouldn't be mad if you're just asking curiously about why his actions have been changing and he's not cleaning up, etc etc.  You should be just fine.  Good luck.  :)

Let him finish and politely tell him thank you for cleaning out your box.  Now you don't have to do it!!

That's a stupid reason to leave someone. Tell him that if he does not like the way that you clean then he needs to do it himself or hire a maid.

LUCKILY I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND IS GREAT AT HELPING ME OUT WITH ALL THE CHORES. MOST OF THE OTHER MEN I KNEW EXPECTED THIS TO BE THE JOB OF A WOMAN. I KINDA FEEL SORRY FOR THEM.

Give him the option to get help for his addiction and return home, or file for divorce.  He will continue to treat you like crap if you let him.  good luck!

im sure he appreciates you, he just doesn't know how  to show it.  I know how you feel, so here's some tips that might help:\n\n-tell him you feel over worked and you know his job is demanding but maybe he can find or make time to help out and spend time with you and his kid.\n\n-tell him he can help out by picking up after himself, and doing laundry or dishes or cook once in awhile.\n\n-show him you do do things and that you take care of your kid.\n\n-tell him you feel unappreciated,ask him to say thanks once in a while or that flowers would be nice.\n\n-if worse comes to worse ask him to chang eor start looking for a new job with more flexible hours.\n\ntry to remember he loves you and that you do alot, try to get him to share in the work.  if he doesn't change you could hire a house cleaner to help you out, i dont know what else you can do, good luck!  i hope it works out!\n-get him to try to change his hours at work or take days off or even go in late or go home early once in awhile.\n\n-let him know how you feel and remind himbeing a father an husband comes first before his job, help him relize what hes missing out on.\n\n-

FIRST !  -Talk to hubby-if you value that relationship \nSecondly -  make arrangments for hubby to bowout during the course of the evening and check into a hotel. Don't make reservations , be spontaneous

My husband and I tried this but it didn't work...maybe it will for you guys. \nWhen we decided to have the "competition" we wrote down a list of things we would like the other to do...(IE It can be sexual or maybe some home improvements you have wanted and he hasn't done...dates whatever you want) Put each item into a box or hat of your own. \nNow...each week keep track of your weight and at the end whoever lost the most got to reach in and pick something from their hat/box of which then the "loser" had to do what the "winner" wanted. \n\nOurs didn't work because all hubby wanted was sexual things while I chose to go the house hold chore route(Wanting him to do dishes...laundry and such) He didn't like that and got upset since he only won once for the month that we did it and refused to do my things..\n\nGood luck...hope it works better for you guys than it did us!

one box/drawer at a time, get a routine going as far as cleaning house. Do two loads of laundry a day,this way you never get behind. throw out or donate anything you don't use anymore. WALK...everyday!! get up early and go walking(take the dog/or a friend), be home before the kids are off to school. Plus you will have lots of energy the rest of the day.Make a list everynite of what you want to accomplish the next day and STICK to it!! Good Luck...You can do this!! =)

Make an arrangement with him, that he does the dishes certain days, (and to never assume that you did them. He's jsut being a lazy unreliable kid) and on certain days you will do them. Do that with all the chores, if you want. And if it doesn't do them, its supposed to, no naps or movie watching.
