Just had a big argument with DH.
Basically, he has 5 uniforms for 5 days work. 5 days on, then 2 days off. He says to me tonight, can you do a wash of shirts, I haven't got any left. I said ok but why couldn't you tell me earlier, it's 6pm and I have another load of stuff to do already. He says I should know when they need doing.
The thing is, sometimes all 5 are washed and clean at the beginning of the week. Then I might do a couple during his working week, so by the end of the week 2 will be clean, so the next week he'll need them doing mid-week.
AIBU to think he shouldn't be expecting me to count them and make sure they're done?
I don't mind actually doing it, but I don't see why I should know they need doing on a specific day. I am on ML, but I've got enough on my plate without monitoring his fucking shirts.
Anyway the argument escalated, he says I'm a housewife, I say no I'm not, I'm on ML, he says I'm a crap housewife anyway. So I get the hump. I might not be amazing at keeping everything spotless, but I wash all his clothes and fold and put them away and tidy up and the usual stuff. He does all the cooking to be fair. He is very good at doing his share, which is just as well as he will be at home after January when I go back to work full time. I just feel under-appreciated. I have said in the past that I could probably get more done around the house, but took it back yesterday as the baby is very demanding and when he sleeps is my time to eat, do a couple of small jobs maybe, but I've no intention of rushing about like a blue-arsed fly for the sake of a show home. I won't expect him to either!
Sorry that turned inot a bit of a rant. Be kind please!
