Do you and your SO fight about chores?

Im glad so many ppl dont have a problem with this. I must attract all the lazy butts.
Im constantly frustrated over chores.

But then it makes me mad because he'll do all this laundry and then leave it in baskets everywhere. And he's like, "I'll do it tomorrow." That was on Tuesday. It's still there.

I have a problem with my laundry left in baskets. I gave them an altimatum yesterday. If its still there this weekend its going in the garbage!

Ah, but you see, it's not hurting anyone being there. It's still clean. Jobs like making the bed fall on who cares more that it isn't made. If neither of you care, then it may not get made at all.

Ha. Last night my bf slept on top of the covers with a quilt on top of him. I asked why he wasnt getting under the cover. He said because that way he wont have to make up HIS HALF of the bed! Can one get much lazier.

Yeah. One can. There haven't been any sheets on my bed since the last time I washed them, because I haven't gotten around to making it.

Oh hell no. That is selfish and childish. If he doesn't want to make up "his half" of the bed, then he doesn't need to sleep in/on the bed.

Someone really needs to have a discussion and work out chores in a way that is agreeable to both of you.

You mentioned "them" concerning laundry - so are there children also? They need to be included in the "everyone is responsible for how the house looks and chores. And I'd be assigning them chores starting now. Everyone from age 3 on up is capable of doing some chore.
