That's a good idea! (If Housekat's doesn't work!)

Yes! Mine puts them in paper grocery bags and then puts the bag in a little used room, like the garage. I have found highly needed things like library books and ds's rainpants (we live in a rainy climate and he goes outside every day) in the garage MONTHS later after HOURS of looking, randomly, just because I happen to be clearing out. This is NOT cleaning to me.

Thank you! I feel empowered and less ridiculous now.

I'm so picky about laundry, I'd never be happy with the way anyone else folds it. I re-fold after my only right-handed child does it because she folds backwards.

I'm not particularly picky. I don't care how things are folded as long as they are. I don't even mind moving the pajama shirts from the shirt drawer to the pj drawer, because I understand how similar they can be. I don't mind HOW things get done if they ARE getting done. But putting things where they can't be found does NOT qualify as done for me!

That solution won't work as well for your dh.

I think probably most of it is dh; the housekeeper is only here twice a month. And he hates constructive critisism of any kind.
