We both work. I do fewer hours but all the childcare. Partner out often for all children's waking hours so I'm on my own jobs wise. Also took time out when kids tiny so there remains an assumption about the responsibility for things like washing.
We've had a busy week. This morning child 2 (who goes through pants like the clappers) ran out of pants. found her a pair in my handbag but asked partner to put on a wash as I'm taking kids out shortly.
Just seen wash on - it's only half full, and contains (wait for it) the old picnic blanket at the bottom of the basket, a couple of tea towels and not much else. Aibu to think this is just stupid behaviour? Or do I have to sit him down like some sort of man child and teach him to separate the basket into piles - seriously?
Note to parents of boys - please teach your boys the basics. That a middle aged man can't competently put on a wash is just an outrage.
