My husband is nesting

[Carolyn 1]

Anyone ever seen a MENA man clean?

My husband is usually a bit of a slob--putting his dirty socks everywhere, leaving a big mess in the kitchen after cooking, etc. I know that his mom cleaned up after all 7 of her boys, and I am a bit guilty of doing it too, but I'm not all that fastidious.

Today, however, he is bent on ridding our house of dust in preparation for the baby: vacuuming everything, moving furniture and washing behind it, taking all the books out of the bookcase and cleaning them, washing all the baseboards, etc.

I've helped some, but he's doing stuff that I just don't have energy for...

If his mother could see him now!

Wow! You'd better get some video of this! Then later you can have proof to show him he really does know how to clean.

Wow, that is amazing! Its so rare a man will go to those lengths in order to have a clean house. Definitely get picks. Who knows when and if it will happen again.

Awww, sweet! Ammar cleans every day. he vaccuums, washes the floor by hand, cleans the dishes and the counters, etc. Sometimes he takes q-tips and edges the baseboards and floor. He cleans EVERY DAY. Sigh. He also would like ti if I would do the same 2-4 times/day.

Yeah, my husband is the same way. Both he and I are neat freaks. I never really knew that it was atypical.
