... To expect my DP to wash fruit

[shelfy74]

Me, DP and DS1 sitting eating fresh cherries purchased cheap from fruit shop for our pudding. He had taken them out of plastic punnets and put them in a bowl when we got them yesterday. I see DS1 (aged 2.10) go to eat a mouldy one. DP goes "I had to chuck quite a few mouldy ones away when I unpacked them". He then admits he did not even rinse the rest. I am not happy, he says no big deal. AIBU?

[Fleurdebleurgh]

I never wash fruit, or veg.

[clayre]

Never wash it either!

[FabbyChic]

I never wash fruit or veg either

[VFVF]

Neither have I, I'm not dead yet

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Yanbu.

[shelfy74]

Ooh ok. Even when it's been in with mouldy stuff?

[OurPlanetNeptune]

My husband does not, I do. All fruit and veg that does not require the skin to be peeled I will. I told my husband my preference a long time ago, so if he is preparing something for me he will wash it (he will also wash it for our sons).

Ask him to wash it for you in the future.

never washed fruit in my life,

havent died yet

[Crossssssshairs]

My dp doesnt, I always do. I dont think its a big deal.

[OurPlanetNeptune]

I have eaten mouldy fruit by accident, no harm was done but I will remove it if I see it. Did he know there was mouldy fruit in the bowl and still didn't remove it? If he did then he is lazy.

[FlubbaBubba]

Nope. I do pick out the mouldy ones, but I don't wash them.

[shelfy74]

Yes he said he'd picked mouldy ones out of the bowl (obviously missed some) but didn't rinse the rest which had been mixed in with the moulders.

I didn't use to wash fruit and veg, but I do post cucumber-gate... and especially after today when I bought some cherries off the market from a guy with extremely muddy hands!

[ScarletOHaHa]

ALWAYS wash fruit and veg not least cost the person that last handled it probably hadn't. I think you are supposed to wash pesticides off in very dilute soapy water. I just use water and scrub - except things you peel. YANBU

[GreenEyesandHam]

Nope don't wash fruit or veg, and would have just thrown the mouldy ones away and not washed the rest.

That's how I roll baby.

[CMOTdibbler]

I don't wash either, and if dh asked me to wash his fruit, I'd tell him to do it myself

[sungirltan]

i never wash fruit or veg ever. my mother is horrifed. i have never seen dh do it either.

[skybluepearl]

i wash fruit and veg particularly after a relative of mine got ill

[PamBeesly]

I don't wash fruit and veg, with the exception of spuds or carrots and thats just because I never peel them

[giraffesCantZumba]

i usually wash it but I know loads of people dont bother. I thought op was about dh washing himself and was going to come on and voice my disgust!

[catgirl1976]

I Dont wash fruit and veg. mind you - i don't rinse my mince either

[lovemyskinnyjeans]

I don't, I think we're a bit too obsessed with sanitising everything these days

[Crossssssshairs]

Who washes mince?

[MrsDaffodill]

No-one washes mince, surely, but the point is that you cook mince. You don't cook fruit.
