nothing. Hire a maid or serve him better. He's probabaly too exhausted from work to help in household chores. Besides, you chose to marry him, right? So live with it.

I am a father of 3 and a husband and I work 10-12 hours a day painter/construction and I still come home and clean the house with my wife who works 9 hours a day.
I look at it like this once I am home from work I want nothing more to sit down a spend time with the family and if I leave the house work for her to do then that takes time away from her and I getting to spend time together.
But thats me and certainly there is nothing wrong with any man giving his wife a hand in cleaning up the house.

Tell him that you expect help or his stuff will not be done. Unless you do not work yourself, if you are a full time house-wife then fair enough as you have all day to do the house work. If you both work this should be split equally, he sounds very old fashioned. If he does not get any washing or cleaning done for him then he will be forced to take on the responsibility himself.

Cleaning the house should be a shared responsibility! Whether he takes care of the outside and you take care of the inside, it doesn't matter as long as he helps (even a little). Cleaning up after him self is a huge help! He has to live there too, he should want to help and take pride and joy in your home! Even if it means cleaning the occasional toilet!

Just stop doing his laundry and picking up after him. Also don't cook a meal for him (leave him a microwable dinner instead). Stop doing the things you do ....that means don't buy groceries, don't clean the bathroom, don't clean the house, don't do the dishes...don't even take out the garbage, GO ON STRIKE in your house!!!
Some MEN are lead to believe that household chores is womens work!!!! They are WRONG....if you're married household chores are SHARED ......

If both of you are working outside the home I agree wholeheartedly that the housework should be shared. However, if you are a stay at home mom than I honestly think that the majority of the housework belongs to you. A little extra help would still be nice though.

Stop cleaning until he agrees to share, or at least talk about why he holds that belief.
That will challenge any fears you have around mess, which may also be useful to the two of you.

Let him live in his own filth. Clean up your mess and your own dishes and laundry. He'll clue in. If you both clean up your own mess the house should be fine.

I think we married the same man. Only mine is now an ex-husband.
They don't change and it is a waste of your time to try and change them.
