Men and their slap dash housework..... anyone else?!

Question

My god its driving me mad living with someone so messy!!! 
I tell him the same things every day... 
make sure food in the food bin is in a tied bag because of maggots. Because WHO spend a day cleaning the maggots and slush out last time he left it to go mouldy?!...
Chuck out your envelopes when you read your post....
Take the packaging off the fruit when you just dump it in the bowl....
Hang the towel up so it isnt all crumpled up and can air dry.....
Move the clean washing out of kyras way.....
Move chairs bins etc out the way when you hoover and hoover the fur underneath them otherwise it just comes out from underneath and messes the floor up straight away...
Close drawers properly when you open them not leave them pulled out ...
Put the  tea and coffee cannisters back against the wall...
Stop leaving your seed shells all over the sofa when you crack them open with your teeth...
Etc etc etc!!!! 
Theres SO much he does every day and doesn't listen to a word i say!!!
What is wrong with some of these men?! Then he wonders why I'm stressed and grumpy and do housework myself and end up hurting my back.
Seriously?!
I know I'm wanting it done properly atm because I'm pregnant and nesting but this is stuff i spent my life nagging him about before...it's exhausting! And really annoying when i can't do it all myself and have to rely on him!!
Anyone else have the same frustrations?!

Answer

Men half ass all kinds of housework. My husband starts laundry and never finishes it. When he does do the dishes (rare), he only puts the dishes in the dishwasher- he doesn’t wipe down counters, clean pots or pans, or clean the stove. When I ask him to take the trash out, it takes him 3-5 business days and I always end up doing it. I asked him one morning to take the bins to the road for collection and he conveniently forgot and we had overflowing trash for a few days. 🙄 Men are so very frustrating. I try to focus on things he does do rather than the things he doesn’t do.

Uesssss!!!! My man all the way. I’m not working now but I’m still starting schooling plus I have appointments and I sit with his great grandmother on occasions when they need me. But he comes home and will go straight to the room and like snack trash ect on his side every day I make the bed I pick up his trash and put it in the trash bag... his laundry I put in the hamper. The towel he uses to stand on in the bathroom I put along the side of the tub.. he leaves his toothbrush on the counter instead of in the cabinet. He doesn’t touch dishes or laundry that is all me.. he will put dirty dishes on the counter when there is a sink of warm fish water for them to soak in. He will leave the trash also in the van outside untill maggots come... literally trash and picking up after himself is all I ask... and that’s not even possible.

I’m 100% the same as you!! So annoying haha

Answer

It is annoying but I try not to get to frustrated with him. I just pick up. He hangs his towel up, but it’s all crumpled so I fix it lol. He never puts the coffee to the back of the counter. He will take the trash out for me and says he wants to start doing another chore for me before I get too uncomfortable. Probably dishes because he said he can’t handle the laundry lol. I’m trying to stay patient because he works all day and I’m fortunate that I get to stay home now and after baby comes. I am worried about the last few weeks of my pregnancy and the first few home with baby. I already told him I’m getting a weekly maid. I just know I won’t be able to do it and his idea of clean is nowhere near mine. 🤷🏼‍♀️
