What are the only person in your house able to do?

[ElliotGoss]

I'm the only person who can rinse a sink after someone has cleaned their teeth. I'm also the only person who can turn a washing machine on and move clothes to the tumble dryer!

Only I know if the dishwasher is full or empty.

Takes a very special skill to open it up and look..

Apparently I'm the only person in my house who can do any housework, put the bins out/in, laundry, do anything for the baby, pay bills, get credit, open/close windows, put heating on/off, put lights on/off, lock the doors, walk/feed/clean the dog, do any gardening, book and organise holidays, clean the car.
Basically I'm the only one that does anything. That's not to say I'm the oy one that CAN do them, just the only one that does.

I'm the only person who knows what to do about the mess everyone sees.

The only person who knows how to make a bed properly, clean a toilet, make a meal, put a wash on, remember birthdays, arrange appointments, purchase clothes to fit growing children, take care of everyone's needs and feelings.....

I'm also the only person in my house who is considered to have a short temper, even though I repeatedly ask neutrally for respect for weeks and weeks on end, and then I lose my shit. People pick up, clean up, act like I'm an unpredictable monster for about two days and then the cycle begins again

Just about everything as relying on a 8 month old and an almost 2 year old to do household chores is a little unreasonable!

Feed everyone. Even the cats only ever ask me for food

Sew - name tapes, buttons, hems, scout badges

Have the extraordinary horizon scanning powers of knowing when birthdays and Christmas will be and organise food/cards/presents etc

If it wasn't for me, we'd have a major stash of toilet roll tubes feeling the bathroom, I'm the only one who is capable of disposing of them.

I’m the only one who can take dirty things into the kitchen and put them into the dishwasher rather than on the side.

However DH is the only one who can operate the Wi-Fi or fix any problems related to the TV, phones or computers for the entire family including my parents.

I am the only person who can do the correct squeaky voice for Reepicheap when reading the Narnia books.

I am the only one who can pick up the pet ducks.

I am the only one who is able to put a new loo roll on the holder

I’m the only person able to organise tradesmen, sit in all day (repeatedly) for them not to show up. Call them back again when they don’t fix things the first time and then find another one to actually do the work.

I am the only person capable of finding keys even though we have them all in a key box and clearly labelled. I am also the only person capable of putting flea drips on the cat.

I am the only person in my house who knows where anything is.

I am the only one who empties the scraps into the compost bin.
Others in the household know where the compost bin lives, but there is a ‘rat bastard’ who lives in said bin, so others are too scared to go there.

I'm the only one in our house capable of bringing empty toilet rolls downstairs for recycling. There were six in the bathroom this morning. I was wondering if DP was saving them to build a fortress or something.

Squiff70, l call the piles of them in our bathroom ‘installation art.’

I am the only person in the house who can change the bedsheets or toilet paper. I am also the only person in the house who can see dirty washing, or actually ANYTHING on the floor.

I am apparently responsible for anything that needs moving around the house. Clothes, groceries, shoes, feeding dogs/cats. Anticipating whatever food anybody wants at any given time. And I’m messy by nature. It’s like never ending torture!

I’m responsible for anything that’s lost..😒

I am the only person who can put dirty plates and cutlery straight into the dishwasher without them spending hours on the table or having a rest on the work surface. I am also the only person who knows that many shops open shorter hours on Sundays . In addition I am also the only person who can tell the time. DH prefers to take a wild guess and appears unaware of the location of the clocks in our house.

Anything and everything. Because I live alone. But I don't empty the dishwasher straight away or take out the recycling because, you know, someone else might! They don't though because there still isn't anyone and it's still down to me...🙄😆

I often feel I'm the only one who can do anything... See mess, clean mess, put washing on, put clean clothes away, hoover, meal plan, write a shopping list, know what clubs DDs have and when, buy presents, organise holidays and childcare, know what our weekend plans are. Oh the list goes on.

DH is the only one who can fix the TV.

Doesn't seem like a great balance to me.

Do the washing correctly. Dry and put away bath towels. Put clothes away in the correct places. Iron clothes. Make everyone's packed lunch/ breakfast/ lunch/ dinner. Strip and make beds.

I let the pile get to 11 empty tubes on the windowsill before I cracked (there's only DH, me and the dog who live here!!)

OP and other posters, No wonder our mental loads are stretched to breaking point 😩 we are the all seeing and knowing beings in our households!

I'm the only person capable of changing the toilet roll when it's run out, fkin drives me mad that one. also the only one capable of walking outside to the recycling bin to put empty bottles in etc not just leave them on the side.
only me can think of what other people want for their dinner each day, I just get "I don't know or whatever you're making" when ask them.
only me can find things, organise things, basically everything!
