Today, I've now worked on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the weekend after that, and two days this week. My husband and son have had all that time off, and yet I've still ended up having to clean the dishes and the house after them on all of these days. FML

Tell them to get off their lazy asses and give you a hand.

I wouldn't lift a finger. That's just wrong.

True. I asked my unemployed (now ex) husband to clean the kitchen everyday for a week. I didn't touch the piles of dirty dishes and pots and pans except for exactly what I needed to cook (since he wasn't doing that either). After a week of him still doing nothing I lost my mind on him. I had no idea I could scream so shrilly until that day.

18 & 35: I don't mind a mess, so I'd wait out, personally. Everyone's different though.

You shouldn't do it then. Dint cook, clean, do dishes, or any other motherly duties! They don't deserve your help!

My ex used to do that shit. I'd work twelve hours a day and come home to his unemployed ass sitting in the couch in a messy house, and the first thing he'd say when he saw me was, "When are you making dinner?" No amount of calm communication or, that failing, enraged fits would help the situation. My ex was worthless. Hopefully that's not the case with your husband and son. They mayjust not realize that their behavior is selfish. Men sometimes need to be told that their help is needed. Taking initiative in housework often doesn't come naturally to them. Tell them how you're tired and want to relax when you get home, and that them not doing their part makes you feel unloved and unappreciated. Explain this to them calmly and sincerely, and hopefully they'll realize how inconsiderate they're being. If that doesn't work, well then... I'm afraid you'll have to kill them.

I've noticed from personal experience that you should also make it seem like they're doing less work then they are, for example instead of telling them to take out the trash, sweep the kitchen floor, dishes, clear the table and wipe the table ( if you have a glass table) just tell one to clean the kitchen

But then they'll only do about half of what needs to be done since that's clean in their mind.

YDI. But only because you did them and basically trained them that no matter how many hours you work you'll still do the housework.
