No rest for the wicked!

I literally spend 12 hours a day, away from home and just like everyone else the last thing I want to do when I get home is clean.  Unfortunately, if I don't do it, it won't get done.  The kids will pick and choose what chores they want to do and then will do them only when they want and when they do decide to do them they are done half ass.  The number one chore that NO ONE wants to do is the dishes.  Everyone has boldly admitted that the dishes suck and no one wants to do them.  I have always done the dishes and that is because I really don't like the way other people do the dishes.  They just never seem to be as clean as they would be if I had done them.  The darling husband has nagged me about this for YEARS.  I finally give in and end up doing them  myself anyways.  I understand that "you" may not have used that bowl, plate or glass in the sink, but this is a house and we all live here and therefore we all need to do chores in order to keep the house running smoothly. The husband just yells at everyone and barks orders because there are socks in the way of him sitting down to play video games.


My kids think I am a raging bitch and well I probably am.  Maybe if more people helped me out without bitching and complaining I would be nicer.  Maybe if people did chores and didn't have something they wanted in return, I would be nicer.  Maybe if I came home to a somewhat clean house and did not have to pick up after everyone else, I might be nicer.


I try to spin it and tell people that my house is lived in and well it is just plain messy.  If there were more hours in a day I might be able to keep up on it.


As I sit here and type this, we have NO idea what we are doing for dinner, but no one seems to care too much so I am  not going to worry about it either.
