I’ve realized I am really bothered by passive voice in cleaning with people I live with. “I am going to do the dishes tonight” - great “Eric, would you take out the trash tonight please?” - that’s fine! I probably would have taken it out if I had realized it was full. I’m an adult and this is my house, I try to keep it clean. “We need to clean up around here!” - What does that mean? Do you want me to clean? Are you going to clean? I thought things were pretty clean, is there something specific that needs cleaning?

Also me and my mom can’t live together because we do dishes differently. I am a “fill and start the dishwasher” person and she is a “Empty the sink” kind of person.

    Clean clothes are folded! I will not put clothes away that aren’t folded. I even attempt to fold my wife’s underwear.

      I also don’t put clothes away unfolded. The result is often a laundry basket full of clean clothes, and an ever-growing pile of dirty clothes on the floor next to it.
