Brilliant parent, equal partner in so many ways, really the person I want on my life team but...
I find these things hard to ignore and when I mention them there is an eye roll and I am told I am being a nag:
- drinking various family drinks out of the bottle/carton rather than using a glass
*using metal spoons and forks on brand new non stick pans
*not washing the backs of plates/pans even if they have been stacked on top of other plates or pans
*leaving gum on the sides of plates /bedside tables
*leaving empty cartons or boxes or packets in the cupboard or fridge so that it is not clear that the product has run out
*leaving cups/glasses and baby bottles face up in the dishwasher so they fill with silty water
*putting things the dishwasher has failed to clean back in the cupboard/drawers even though they need washing again and there is still food on them
*everything always that we need being left in the car
These are typical but not an exhaustive list.
So as not to drip feed, partner is a woman and so am I.
Am I a nag or are these things basic adulting skills?
