Is your SO a slob?

my bf and i are more casual about housework, mostly due to the fact we are hardly home durring the day, and usually the dogs are with us. Its not that our house is dirty, but its lived in. he is more of a slob then i am, he is always leaving pop bottles and cans everywhere and his ashtray is always either spilled or running over. But i can NOT complain due to the fact that his apt before we moved in together was the nastiest thing i had ever seen. I wouldnt have allowed a pig to live like that. The whole complex was nasty, but had he cleaned up a bit it wouldnt have been so bad. He has done some major personal growth since we have been together (i call him a work in progress), so his occasional messes are not near as bad as they could be. I dont demand everything in my house to be perfect, i want it to be a place we and occasional company can relax and not be worried about leaving an occasional mess (it all gets cleand eventually). Oh man this reminds me, my mom and i are shairing rent on a carpet shampooer this weekend, i HATE shampooing carpets.

I don't have a SO, but let me tell you...Trout leaves her toys everywhere

Actually, I think I'm the slob here, mind you I'd rather do just about anything as opposed to cleaning house ...as a kid I learned that if i'd practice my piano, mom wouldn't make me clean...I practiced for hours on end!!!

I am the one who frusterates him with my occasional messes and clutter.

Does he have a brother?

Mike is a clean guy, thank goodness. He does the dishes practically everyday & for that I am grateful! I have more area that I am responsible for keeping clean, but he definitely does his part. He shares the cooking, too! He has his lazy moments, but usually likes to clean up first before he sits around watching TV.

Nope My Husband Cleans and everything. He is a Neat Freak.

I wish my boyfriend was neat. I usually wake up in the morning to find an apple juice container (sometimes empty) next to the computer desk. Also, sometimes there's an empty yogurt container on the desk or some other type of food wrapper.

He knows that if he has the day off, and the dishes aren't done when I get home, I get seriously mad. I see no problem why he can't do a couple simple chores on his day off, when I clean the whole apartment on my day(s) off.

John isn't *too* bad. He makes tons of messes but generally cleans them up... eventually, lol.

NOOOOOOOOOOO and I'm so glad neither one of is that way. DH had to deal with that with his mother and his ex-mil (and to some extent with his ex). While DH is a packrat, he's not really that sloppy.

I could not live with or marry a slob.

Slob? No.
Lazy? Yes.

He's actually officially turned me lazy too. I would give myself migraines when we first moved in together because he would never put the Diet Mt. Dew bottles in the recycling bin...he would put them ON TOP of the recycling bin.

By the time we moved here, I gave up. Between him and the cat fur everywhere I can't keep up.

There are days I miss being single as I had my Saturday cleaning days that would last most of the week...now I can maybe get 24 hours...

No! Thank goodness! No way i could live with a slobby person He learned a lot of good habits when he was in the Navy and he's a very tidy/clean person- he is always willing to pitch in with house work- i REALLY appreciate that about him!

we both arent slobs but we are both pretty lazy,
I work longer hours than he does. The only dinner he cooks is stirfry he is afraid to make any other food incase i wont like it

right now the kitchen is full and dirty dishes everywhere, now i wont have to work untill 2 pm so i have a whole heap of free time to clean yey!

No one is really home enough to make a mess. I think the cats live there more then i do.

however the computer room does kinda look like a third world jungle.

Mine is a slob at heart but makes a huge effort to clean up after himself without being asked.

No mine isn't, but that's because he's up in Scotland Seriously though Gils quite good at keeping a clean and tidy house
