How goes the strike? Has your family met your demands, or at least apologized for taking you for granted and making you feel like an invisible housework fairy? I hope things are better.

I hope so too. I have always wanted to strike with dh, and have threatened too before, but I usually just give in to get things done. Guess that is why it didn't work Huh?!? Let us know how it goes.

I've been thinking about you, too Darlene! Hope all is going well!!!! :)

Hi! I couldn't stand it for more than a day! LOL Besides, I get my best cleaning done when I am mad! :lol:

I would like to say that everything has changed.....NOT! But, it did sink into this family a little and I guess that is better than nothing. Either my expectations have lowered some or they are all getting better.....maybe a little of both.

I had a long talk to dh (note not "with") about how I was feeling and we'll see where that takes us too. My red headed temper and my big mouth sometimes gets me in more trouble than I'd like to admit! LOL

Thanks all for thinking of me......it means more to me than you may realize!

:)

You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My strikes usually don't last any longer than a day either (if even that) darlene... so don't feel so bad. I can't STAND looking at the mess and I end up just HAVING to go clean/pick it up. He KNOWS I can't stand seeing my house dirty/messy so... it really doesn't bother him much. Let's just say that it probably bother's me a lot more than it bother's him. LOL Hopefully something you said sunk in and maybe will make a bit of a difference... Something is better than nothing. LOL :)

Diane... :wave:

[Leigh]

I'll continue to think about you and I hope things get better. I hope something sunk in.
