Reply to comment by smackythefrog in LPT: clean your stovetop after using the oven. The heat loosens grime for easy removal by Cando232
The stronger the chemical, the less scrubbing needed. The most effective thing would be something like EZ-off oven cleaner (sodium hydroxide solution if you're not in US). You should be able to spray, let it sit, and wipe off, but make sure you wear rubber gloves as it can burn bare skin. If you don't like strong chemicals, I've heard people use baking soda+water, barkeepers friend, dawn dish soap, lemon juice, or vinegar. Other brands/types of oven cleaner/degreaser would fall somewhere in between the above two options, they don't vary too much apart from special cases like the EZoff

What people should be doing and what some people actually do are not the same thing. This advice helps both categories of those people.

What are you actually eating on a given day?
A load of snacks? Or whole food produce?

Reply to comment by BaldBear_13 in LPT request cleaning while my partner is home by dandelionbaaby
It also begs the question of who this concern is coming from.
Has OP's partner expressed issues with stuff not getting done in the evenings, or does OP feel anxiety about their productivity tanking once their partner comes home?
For my two cents, as long as the critical tasks are getting done, the child is having their needs met, and the relationship is happy, it's okay for both partners to slow down in the evenings and enjoy some recharge time.
Keeping a grind-set mentality and always stressing about the next thing that needs to get done is a fast track to burnout.A few tasks getting delayed is better than mentally crashing and none of them getting done.

Practice empathy.
If someone is annoying you, try to think of the best reason they could have for acting the way they do, and behave as if it were fact. Being cruel to people will never earn you favors, while an act of kindness can endear you to someone for a lifetime.

Is it absolutely necessary to clean when your partner is home and not just spend time with them?

I used to do the same; basically just eating whenever I'm bored. I started counting calories by inputting everything I eat into an app on my phone. I've found that just knowing how many calories are in the things I eat and the act of logging those in my phone makes me stop and think about what I'm about to eat. I've been holding myself to 1800 calories per day (along with exercise), and I've lost about 20 lbs in the last 2 months 😃

Something helpful for me was to not have a ‘take’ mindset, stop trying to ‘take’ things away, instead try to ‘add’ more healthy stuff into your eating habits, it’s a slight change in mentality but it helped me a ton

If you don't buy it you cant eat it. Self control starts at the grocery store.

Are you eating because you’re hungry or because of stress/boredom/emotional situation?
When you are hungry, distract yourself for 15 minutes. Do anything to take your mind somewhere else. If you’re still hungry then your body is telling you to eat and just make smart choices. But often we eat for other reasons mentally so redirecting the mind helps that.

I hate cleaning when my husband is home. He always wants to throw in his two cents and can't understand why I don't appreciate his advice. Or he will say he is working and can't I do something else? I have been the primary housecleaner for over 25 years, so he can stfu.

The instructions.
Source: tried to erect someone else's tent in the dark, in gusty wind.
We gave up and used the tent as a bivouac.
Send me $5 if you want the rest of the story.
