I'm the maid too, and after much complaining (and begging) for help around the house...I'm guessing it's of a husband nature to not notice messes. BAH!!! Thanks for the entry... I feel the same way today!

Once every couple of months I supervise her giving it a good cleaning, but that's it. I don't get paid enough to clean up everyone's crap. Hey wait....I don't get paid at all. LOL!

As for your husband. Bag the whole mess and put it in the front seat of his car!!! Or better yet, on HIS side of the bed so that he can't go to sleep until he deals with it. You need boundaries and I'd say your office is most definitely OFF LIMITS for such activities. if you let them get away with it now, it will only get harder later when you really get fed up. Would they prefer you have a 'breakdown' instead? It's just like on the airplane - you put YOUR air mask on first, then you help others. As for firing the 'maid' I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT or you will go absolutely crazy. You could pull out everything from the kids' rooms but their bed... it's a Love & Logic thing. I remember those days so Good Luck!
