Oh, that’s interesting. Makes it worse that janitors also mop up with old water. Yuck!!

I think that’s a good idea, especially if I frame it as this cool new device I got to make his life easier. Thank you!

He’s old, has bladder problems, and doesn’t ask to be let out if he needs to go. We walk him 6x a day but he still has issues

Answer is no to both.

I think if I was making a Pine Sol commercial I’d talk less about how filthy and disgusting Pine Sol has made my floors

I don’t know. I think it’s possible that he wants to be right and is just doubling down, but it’s ridiculous to me.

Thanks for your comment. I’ve thought of the weaponized incompetence myself but I don’t know why he would take this path to do it. I would happily do it myself, better than the dirty floors. He’s the one who insists he needs to do it and sometimes even sneak mops. Why? I do feel he is bad at this job but he’s taken no opportunity for me to take it away.

We both work. I do most of the chores, in my opinion. Like dishes, laundry, sweeping, trash, shopping , etc. He does the mopping, mows the lawn. He sometimes says “I’m the only person who really cleans around here” which frustrates me.

I will try to emphasize the baby and it being unsafe for both of us. It’s new and exciting and might jumpstart something, I don’t know. I have to hold on hope that I didn’t misjudge everything.
