Four cats and your jobs, you guys are definitely doing this on Hard Mode!
Maybe you could figure out some sort of rewards system, like cleaning the home => delivery dinner. And of course if you notice something is clean and you didn't do it, voice your joy!
Absolutely, I thank her all the time for cleaning. It's pretty fair I think. I work a lot more hours, she works pretty much 40 a week. And when I'm home I do dishes, laundry, clean litter boxes, etc.
We considered a cleaning service but we're trying to put a down payment on a house so her mom can come live with us. We spent a lot of money on Christmas for the kids (her sister's), but we always do. We're getting there.
Once we have something that we're working to own, not rent, maybe we will feel differently about cleaning.
That's all good! From experience, owning vs. renting doesn't help much to make cleaning any more enjoyable, at least not after the first week. But at least if you decide you just can't deal with some aspect, you can change it.
