ALL OF THEM!!!

Can you tell I am lazy? I hate laundry, dishes and bathrooms because they are always messy and never done. The girls change their clothes several times a day and the little one has potty accidents every once in a while. Did I mention she can't seem to stop playing in the water in their bathroom. The sink seems to have an inch of water on it everyday. At least they are old enough to start picking up their toys and clothes. I just have to continue to remind them. I was complaining to my husband the other day about how more food lands on the table and floor then in their mouths. I turned around and said you know some day I will miss it because then they won't be little anymore. I guess it is all about perspective.

Try Lime Away - This is what I use and prefer - it is wonderful. Just spray it on and wait about 5 minutes then go back in and respray it and it will just wipe right away!!! Wonderful!

or

Tilex Clean Shower - Once it's clean you only have to spray it when you get out of the shower and it's supposed to keep itself clean.

I have a friend who keeps a squegee (Is this even close to being spelled correctly?) in the bathroom near the shower and she cleans the excess water off the door daily. This helps prevent the stains from building up. Don't know if I would remember every day, but I guess it is better than spending two hours scrubing.

Ooh thanks everyone. I think I'm going to try the vinegar papertowels from the link Mags provided. The vinegar was working a little bit, but I didn't have it on that long because was afraid it would make more water spots!

After I get the darn spots off, I'm going to squeegie it off everyday! Darn water spots... Or complain to my landlord to put in different doors. It helps when your uncle is your landlord.

Bathrooms. Bathrooms, bathrooms, bathrooms. I don't want to wipe down the tub, I don't want to mop the floor, and I REALLY don't want to TOUCH the toilet. Which is silly, 'cause I change babies' diapers all day. But at least then I get to wear gloves....

And vacuuming is not high on my list of faves either. I'll trade bathrooms and vacuuming for laundry and kitchens any day!

until you have three boys between ages 5-8 using the same toilet everyday! I have one that doesn't lift the toilet seat, so once in awhile I sit down on pee. Than I have to make Aaron come in a clean the whole toilet to teach him a lesson. Usually works for a few months.

Doing the dishes, cleaning the stove, making the beds, folding the landry and put it back where it belong! I actually put sheets in the tumble-drier and feel proud that I don't waste my life by the mangle. Until february I did'nt have a dishwasher it was Hell! Now I can't live without it, I never knew that one small baby could produce so much dirty dishes. I hate beeing in charge of everything and having the do all the housewife chores. Men don't realise that it's not just doing the things that takes time but all the planning! My partners ex-wife was the perfect housewife and he can't do anything if you don't make him, just like a child.

Since I'm a feminist and think that men and women are just as good or bad at hosework I refuse to take the whole responsibility for our home. He seems to accept it as long as he doesn't have to do the landry and he is really helpful with our daugther. And the god thing is that I'm not as helpless as the ex-wife, she couldn't pay the bills, use the computer, hang a picture, drive a car or program the VCR. Hence, I'm not so bad afterall just a little messy and I'm nice to him. But I almost never asks him to do things like cutting the grass or other typical man things.

In Sweden we have 240 days of maternity/pathernity-leave with 80% salary and whe are actually sharing the days. He is going to take care of the baby at least 4 months now and 3 later on. That is really great!

since I live with 2 boys and my husband. You would think now that my boys are teenagers it would be better. It's a little better, but for some reason (I think it's a male thing!) the 3 of them never flush the commode. And yes, I have sat down on a wet toilet seat many times! Yuck! I just keep a box of those antibacterial wipes in every bathroom and wipe up every day. Otherwise, I can't stand to walk past the bathroom!
