I'll join! Grin

I'm the only one who does anything. I'm a sahm and DH works, therefore in his eyes he is exempt from lifting a finger. I accept I should do the lions share, but he is bone idle. I've been with him 10 years. He's never once cleaned or put a load of laundry in in all that time.

Rainatnight · 06/12/2018 16:00

Aaaaaaghhhh, isn't it ANNOYING???

Does the garden poo run. By that I mean pick up the dog poo in the garden not do a poo in the garden. Grin

lynnepot · 06/12/2018 16:13

He's never changed the beds, cleaned the bathroom once since we have lived together. If he didn't know I did it then he'd probably just assume the cleaning fairies did it. He does cook, wash up, do his own ironing, diy, and gardening though. Oh and he does the bins.

ChairinSage · 06/12/2018 16:20

I'm sick of being the only one who notices stuff needs doing. Like the bin being full, or that the plants need watering, or the shower curtain has gone mouldy... I could go on but I'd end up ranting.

shortsaint · 06/12/2018 16:24

... NOTICES.

I am the only one who flipping notices. And can't relax until everything is at least roughly tidy. Which means, as the last one in, I don't even sit down until I put it all back in the right place. And they wonder why I grumble...

beenandgoneandbackagain · 06/12/2018 16:29

Any wet towels which aren't hung up to dry, are placed not very neatly on his side of the bed. Lessons are learned very quickly when there are negative consequences to actions. Grin

ChocolateTearDrops · 06/12/2018 16:35

...can open the door and take a parcel/food shopping delivery.

4forkssake · 06/12/2018 16:38

Flushes the toilet
Changes the loo roll
Charges the ipads
Switches electrical stuff off

Julianaa · 06/12/2018 16:39

Changes toilet roll, changes the beds, knows where things are.

Also, as a matter of course cooks, food shops, and meal plans, and makes sure we have a supply of things for packed lunches, etc.

Witchend · 06/12/2018 16:42

Tidies anything
Puts washing away
Changes sheets
Puts towels to wash
Washes the frying pan
Clears up after cake baking.

MarmaladeIsMyJam · 06/12/2018 16:42

@keepingbees

Genuine question, why do you put up with that? he's never cleaned or done any washing in 10 years?? he just doesn't help you at all? not even on a weekend?

PuppyMonkey · 06/12/2018 16:45

Turns the Christmas tree lights on.
