Personally, I don't care how a chore gets done as long as it gets done. The kids do it half-fast, when they do it. I don't nag the spouse at all-he's learned that if I even mention the carpet is looking a bit ragged, just grab the vac(he's better at that than I am anyway). Doing something over when it wasn't done to your 'standards' is, like Mal said, a sure-fire way to lessen cooperation in the future.
I tell my mother this all the time(she's a clean freak who always complains dad can't do it right): When I'm laid out and friends and family pay their respects, do I really want them to say nothing but 'she kept such a nice clean home...'?
By the way, I just got done cleaning the kitchen and bathroom-that should last about 3 days tops. Spouse is making porch steps.
