I feel like my house is constantly a fucking mess. My wife and I work 80 hours between us and we have a 2 year old and I feel like it’s constantly a mess.

We do what we can and often spend a couple hours on a weekend tidying but it’s a losing battle.

How do you cope/keep on top of things?

    dont tidy up after your partner. tidy up after yourself, and let them figure it out eventually.

      Let me assure you, this kind of passive behavior does NOT work and only results in being resentful as you wait for the other person to figure it out and they never do.

      Don’t assume people will figure something out on their own if you care about the result. Communicate openly. I cannot stress that enough.
