Dementor Rant..and toothbrushes.

As I soaked up the hot shower, trying to clear my head
(Seriously..trying to clear the sinus infection)
I realized my plan was not working. Just like the toilet plan, it didn't work either.
The plan?
To see how long I could go without cleaning something before the dementor kicked in and did it.

For months I had not cleaned the shower stall. Now, mind you, I used to clean it everyday.
I have this 'trick' I do to clean it. We all know we hate to clean the tub and or shower..hate it right?
Well, I got smart.
(imagine that!) 
Here's the trick:

I bought soft scrub in a plastic bottle and a scrubby sponge just for the shower. I placed it in the shower stall on one of the lower 'shelves'. Each and every day when I showered, I took 2 minutes to load up the sponge and wash ONE wall. At the beginning of the week, I'd start with the doors and move around each day. By the end of the week, the shower stall was cleaned, took me only two minutes at most..and lo and behold it stayed that way.

(fucking amazing)
Mind you, when I did this, I thought too that the hubs may kick in once in a while and help out with the same process.
(why in the hell I would think such a thing is beyond me!)

Suffice it to say, he never did. I was the only one cleaning the shower (and I was working at the time too, so it wasn't like I was a 'stay home wife')
So..about 2 months ago, I figured I'd try to see how long it would take without the shower stall being cleaned before the dementor either said something, or did it himself.

I'm still waiting.

I tried this same trick with the master toilet too
(which I very rarely use, I might add)
I broke. After 2 months I couldn't stand it anymore and cleaned it myself. How he could use such a nasty piece of equipment is beyond me, but alas, I've come to the conclusion that most men are uncouth. 

Now part of me really really wants to balk about this and never clean it. Seriously. But this is "MY" home..and I can't stand to see it go down the dumps due to this kind of garbage. So I always give in and clean up his mess.
Here's the crux of the situation though. I would NOT mind doing this...(cleaning and such) IF and only IF he'd kick in ONCE IN A WHILE!
WTH?

I have truly come to the conclusion that men (most men) who get married, get married for the sole purpose of having someone else 'do the mundane' and clean up after them.
They get married to have a mother.
They marry for love, sure....the love of the potential that the women has. To treat him like a king and clean his shit bucket. Oh yes sistas...if you're married, it's because you had potential and maid like qualities.

It is EXPECTED that I do all the mundane chores about the house. Most times, I don't mind, really. What I DO mind is that I'm expected to do such things. And if I don't..I hear snide comments and rude remarks under the breath. Sometimes, I've even heard berating like I'm a child!
Damnit it all to hell..I am no child. I am not YOUR child. You are not my father.
When will men learn, this is not the role of husband?

In all actuality, it is he that is the child, because I have to pick up behind, clean behind, prepare food for and do laundry for HIS ass..like a child.

Then back all this up with the looks and disdain that comes from the dementor that I should be earning money for the household. He's tired of busting his hump to earn money we never get to use for anything other then bills and keep our head above water. I hear this a lot.
WTH? Isn't that point?

I have to clean the toilet today..
His toothbrush is right there............
maybe..just maybe


And I probably would if it wouldn't take so damned long with such a small ass brush!
