Being that I have OCD. I'm always immaculate. So, I dont know if there is an actual clinical name for just being clean and orderly....I dont wash my hands 80 times a day. There was a problem with the ex though. She didnt like it cause she thought I was crossing her territory. Dishes, vacuuming, laundry, yardwork, dusting, cooking dinner etc etc etc...lol UGH!! So, I had to get use to leaving somethings unfinished. Keep on mind that this is on top of a 50-60 work week, Helping her with her sons homework. Football and baseball practice. My Ice Hockey on Sat mornings. I kept pretty busy, but there were times when I just had to decompress and chill out. Now, the problem is finding a woman who likes it or has it too. Or can just deal with not doing any house work. And it isn't the OCD where I have a problem. I just keep everything clean and in order and my work has to always lean towards perfection. Plus, the fact that I am selfless and I put others before me if it makes it easier on them. So, in a nutshell, I dont find a problem in having a clean house that is dusted, smelling good, and always looking nice and neat

and dishes, and....etc. You earn the cash for now....I'm cool with it... It seems the gender "roll" (whatever THAT means) has drawn back to somewhat "conservative" from 10 years ago. Mr. Mom is not so much a "Cool Dork" anymore?? I would be interested, if I hadn't spent the last 5 years doing just that, and you won't be able to clean it as well as I can. I would just end up being a back-seat cleaner.

So tired of lazy men...they have figured out that housekeeping is a cakewalk.

"Lazy" is not gender specific. When rolls are (mid-last century) "traditional", I would hope that most men realize that while they're at work there's a bit more going on than dusting a shelf, grabbing some groceries, shopping and tea with the girls......and throwing a tv dinner in the oven at 5. (especially for parents).
