The place where I live has several rules about when to do what. Not because people are lazy, simply because we can't all agree on how clean to keep things.

That's
EXACTLY my point.
The issue here is that the original poster
was cleaing up, and therefore his heart was in the right place, but that his wife was
still unhappy with his efforts. In other words, he had "forgot" to do certain things.
So by imagining the other partner doing their day to day, week to week tasks, you can sometimes "remember" stuff you would otherwise forget.
Trust me. I clean places and things that my wife would not consider, or that she simply leaves to me. And vice versa. Two different people and two different 'approaches' to house-hold management.
