Backstory: dd had COVID over Xmas and I was working Xmas eve so we cooked meat day before whilst both of us was at home, dp had dc on Xmas eve. Xmas day we wanted a more chilled because of dd having COVID making it more comfortable for her as she was clingy and off her food.

Xmas day after breakfast I washed the bowls/plates mugs etc and dp exclaimed "really you're doing washing up today? You can leave it - it will get done"
I was thinking hmm and I replied "I wash up as I go along as normal"
Dp responded by saying "it will get done if you leave it"
I washed the rest up, after Xmas dinner I left washing up, 10pm still wasn't done so I did it. He came in kitchen and said "oh I was just about to do it" with a smirk. I said "sure" sarcastically.

So today I was petty I haven't washed up anything. So the kitchen is full of plates, bowls, baking trays, mugs, glasses, cutlery etc.

I can be petty!

My oh always says "oh I was just about to"! About pots it's so annoying. He's responsible for emptying bins though so sometimes I don't tell him when it's getting full (he could look himself) and then he goes to empty it and struggles to get the bag out as it's so rammed and usually ends up spilling it 😂

My DH always says he will do the kitchen. But h never does it until before dinner which drives me up the wall.

My petty thing. I unfriended my cousin on facebook after she made a crack about my SEN 11 year old probably still being into Peppa Pig. I've put up with loads over the years and it was literally the tiny little bitty last straw. My DM has already texted me saying cousn is upset. I can't be arsed. We are all nearly 50 ffs.

@IcedAbstinente that’s in no way petty. Your cousin is an arsehole

Thanks! I was / am feeling particularly annoyed with people at the moment so fear that this might be the start of an unfriending landslide. Grin

Whenever I do a job that needs doing, that has been needing doing for a long time, dh was “just about to do it” and then gets annoyed because I did it Hmm
