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!

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