It was the same with me back when I was working. I don't think S would even have noticed about the laundry. Once, I went away for a few days and he bought himself new underwear because he didn't know how to use the washing machine.

Problem is that he has a very selective eyesight, apparently. He doesn't see what needs doing or reflect on it. And, unlike me, he does fun stuff (computer, TV, comic, what have you) before the boring stuff (household chores), because that makes sense... *shakes head* So either we have to plan what to do or I have to point whatever needs doing out. And he don't like it when I point it out, so that's not very fun. :-/

But it's hard to make people "see" what needs to be done if they just don't. I had that difficulties with my ex. My solution was to list what I wanted neat in the house for my own sake and thought that, leaving the rest to fall. So I kept the kitchen and bathrooms cleans and when my ex finally looked around and saide that perhaps "we" should clean, I pointed out to him that "I" cleaned every day and what I did. Thing did imporove somewhat after that. :)

Doing the list thing sounds like an excellent idea, actually! I might do a version of that. Thanks for the tips!
