Nah, filipinos name their kids things like "Hearty", "Glory", and "America". Those are 3 Filipinas I have actually known. I even saw all of their IDs because I thought they were nicknames.
You're thinking about it wrong. It's not a matter of it being something she *should* be doing, it's something she's *not* doing, and you are unable to convince her to. You have to decide whether it's important to you or not. If it it, either you do it or hire a maid. If you hire a maid, take it out of her spending money. No need to be angry or any of that. Just lay it out straight, either you do it or you hire someone to do it, and move on.
Pretty much. I'm hoping now that I've taken charge at least I can get the house to a manageable level and then keep it there. I guess right now it's really overwhelming because of what she did to the office and now surrounding rooms.
Right, you use the maid to stop gap the solution and show her that it doesn't take much just once a week as long as you maintain a tiny bit of cleanliness.
It may just have to be a flaw you need to understand and manage yourself. Like I said my wife sucks at putting shit away. There were Christmas bags on the kitchen table (we don't use it for anything other than putting shit on we never eat there) that I knew would never be picked up until late March if I didn't just do it. But it also freaked me out to look at them every day. So I just put them away. Was it her job to do it? Yeah. But was I going to go to war over something that took me 5 minutes to fix? Nope. Anymore if something is out of place and I don't like looking at it I just fix it. I have abandoned trying to make her do it because "Its her job" and I just do it myself. It takes less effort honestly for me to just fix the mess than it would be to convince her to do it herself.
