What's your cadence for maintenance? Is there anything you think you should be doing more frequently? Is there anything you do extra proactively because you don't like seeing it left undone?

I'm also curious about how much time you spend taking care of your home and how that balances with the rest of your personal life, and how you share the load with other people you live with.

I’m recovering from cancer and caring for my wife who has severe post traumatic stress as a result of natural disaster.

I have a shower most days
I get dressed most days
I turn the dishwasher on when it’s full, and empty it when there’s no more room in the sink
Occasionally I sweep and vacuum
I mow the lawns every few weeks

That’s pretty much all I can do at the moment, but I’m slowly getting better.

Hey, just wanted to say: Fuck cancer, you beat its bitch ass to a pulp for good now, ya hear?

this sounds like me but add in laundry like the dishwasher and nix the lawn as im in a condo. Honestly I spend more time going over finance type stuff which I try to look over each weekend.

High odds he doubles his vacuuming for a good relationship, or gets his way and they ultimately break up. ( Most relationships die by bug bites. )

You can’t be a slob when sharing space with another person and expect success.
