Is it "helping" if you do a crummy job?

DH, towels, the linen closet. He basically just throws things in there.

I don't know, is it "helping" if your idea of cleaning the living room is putting everything from the floor onto the couch and dining room table, vacuuming and then leaving the vacuum out?

Or is it helping to insist on using the big janitor mop bucket that you insisted on buying, moping the floor without any regard to whether the counter tops have been cleaned and then leave the very heavy mop bucket and mop in the middle of the floor?

And finally, is it helping if you spend almost two hours cleaning the very small powder room and still not get to the floor around the toilet and mirror and then leave the cleaning supplies out?

No it is not helping. My brother "swept" the floor...but forgot to sweep up the dust and throw it away, thereby letting it get kicked around the floor all over again within 4 minutes. Ack.

I think our DHs were seperated at birth!

And no, it is not helping, it is infuriating.
