Last time we were expecting, hubby and I had a LOT of fall-outs about mess. I generally prefer a clean and tidy house and put a lot of effort it. It's a more relaxing environment and also I work from home. However, hubs is somewhat careless, mess and often unhygienic (his parents are much worse though- he definitely learned it there).
There has been some improvement, but I find that the pregnancy hormones make me EXTRA sensitive about this issue. I just lost my temper about it a bit today. I want the place to be clean and safe and lovely for my babies, like a primal urge I can't ignore. I feel that I can't relax as I'm ALWAYS cleaning up after him. Also, things are always getting broken or damaged due to him being careless and not listening to me.
I take it so personally because I feel I've put a lot of heart and soul into creating a really hospitable home, but I just can't keep up with his destruction, so I feel too depressed to have anyone over. The only time its nice is when I'm not working and have all day long to make it nice- and that feels depressing to me that it can only be nice if I literally do it all myself and concentrate on less of a career.
Anyone have this problem and/or experienced solutions?
