Behind A Clean House Is A Woman

Yes, as the title suggests, this is a fact that I have learnt. Why?

1) My own parents' house is kept clean by my mum and if my mum ain't around, the house would be a in big mess... Clothes unwashed, floor un-vacuumed, toilets un-scrubed and rooms in a mess.

2) My mum in law has gone to China from 25 Sept to 7 Oct 2008 and has left the house indirectly in my care. Thus, I have been doing the housework every now and then. This weekend, I went by my own place to stay and when I come back to the house of:
- plates left in the basin unwashed
- floor is full of hair + dust
-toilet un-scrubed
- worn 'dried' sweat drenched clothes + socks are thrown on the floor awaiting to be washed
- hamster cage uncleaned
- kitchen table are dirty with coffee stain, chilli sauce stain and unfinished food left opened
- rubbish bin plastic bag filled with rubbish, waiting to be thrown into the rubbish chute
Obviously, I had to do the cleaning up and nagged to no results... Haiz, hopefully someone could understand and sympathize with me.

3) When my husband and I had a cold war for the 2 weeks, I came back to a messy room and stinky room. His books + clothes sprawled all over the room, underwear left on the dusty + 'hairy' floor, bed-sheet unchanged and this musky smell when you enter the room.

Thus, from these 3 real-life examples I have coded above, I am all ready to come up with this conclusion that behind every clean and tidy house, is a woman who is willing to pick up the mess, clean the place and just keep all these 'frustration' of weekly cleaning to herself and under her breath cursing while cleaning up.
