DH doesn't put anything away. I can walk around the house and figure out exactly where he's been based on what he's left out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109552 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:21:10 +0000 Weagle 109552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the rest of you about picking up. A messy house bothers him, but instead of throwing things away he'll just make little piles everywhere. General messes don't bother me so much, but when I do clean up and find piles of stuff it's SO frustrating! I however hate dirt and nastiness (like a dirty shower), but he doesn't even see that unless it's pointed out to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109548 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:15:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 109548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaning without my prompting for sure. He has no issue cleaning something once I ask him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109534 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:05:33 +0000 Andrea 109534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: haha. you can pick more than one if you want! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109265 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:42:24 +0000 SugarplumsMom 109265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaning/putting stuff away on his own! He never grumbles when I remind him, but having him do it without me saying a word would be wonderful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109228 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:17:16 +0000 SAHM0811 109228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just ONE thing? um definitely taking initiative in the "cleaning up after himself" department! seems to be a popular answer on here... hmm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109224 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:13:43 +0000 banana 109224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cooking! He's not bad but he can use some improvement. He can make basic things like spaghetti and breakfast foods. But that's about it. He's a total clean freak so he doesn't need improvement there. I would say a little extra help in the cooking department would be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109122 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:56:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 109122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say cleaning the house/pick up on his own. It's his week to put away laundry (this weekend I did all the washing/drying/folding) and it's still sitting in baskets. Drives me bonkers he doesn't just do it right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109117 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:54:16 +0000 mrsjyw 109117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daily cleaning/tidying/dishes.</p> <p>DH is a good cook but takes too long, so I don't mind cooking. He's a HUGE clean/germ freak so when we do our BIG cleanings he does a lot of the grunt work. But I'm the neat freak and can't stand every day messes and clutter, while he can let the dishes pile up with no problem. </p> <p>I took a long nap after a long drive back home yesterday and while I was asleep, DH cleaned the entire first floor (dishes, put things away, cleaned countertops,etc.) I was so happy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109114 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:51:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 109114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby is an amazing cook, he actually thinks he's better than me!!<br /> He is great with meals and awesome with our son, he had a really hard time in the first couple weeks after birth keeping our house clean. He doesn't see what's messy. He'll say idk what to clean when there is a huge pile of mail on the table. He throws his laundry on the floor, and his clean laundry on the futon and never puts it away. It's frustrating. So definitely cleaning :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109104 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:45:22 +0000 prettylizy 109104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish DH would see dirt and take initiative to clean things up more. He'll make piles of things and move them out of the way instead of sorting and putting them away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-109040 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:10:11 +0000 Alivoo01 109040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean the house!!

He'll sit there and stare at it like it's going to explode. Too funny! I'd also love for him to be able to cook. When I'm not feeling well, we always have to eat out. And that's a lot. I want more home cooking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-108640 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:02:55 +0000 Rubies 108640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs is an amazing chef - I would want him to help with house cleaning.

He's always happy to help if I ask for the help, but I wish he would just clean stuff on his own sometimes because I feel guilty asking for help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-108598 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:27:22 +0000 DigAPony 108598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is a great cook.

Cooking would be awesome. Most Korean guys I know can't cook! If I have a DS, he's learning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-help-you-out-more-with-one-thing-what-would-it-be#post-108582 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 19:56:51 +0000 mrs. wagon 108582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be my wish too. He's learned how to make RJ's eggs in the morning, which is huge, but it took him like six months to learn how to not burn the pan. </p>
