To think that simply emptying dishwasher/washing machine is not helpful

[Lookandlearn]

I am happily doing most of the household tasks at the mo. Dh working more, I have time. However when he helps it is by emptying the load of washing into a basket, or the contents of the dishwasher onto the side. Both of which are an immediate reminder of the job, which still needs doing and was on my list anyway. Not a major issue but Aibu to find it a bit nighly and irksome?

YANBU. I will often be informed by my martyr DP that he has emptied the washing machine for me. Great. Be awesome if you could hang it out/put it away too....

YANBU - its only doing half the job. My DP also working long hours only manages to empty and reload the dishwasher - he puts everything away in the wrong place, but I don't care, because at least its put away and I'll find it eventually.

YANBU, my mum does this, as she wants to help me out when I'm pregnant.

It means that instead of having dishes tidily away in the washer, she leaves them all over the counter as she 'doesn't know where they go'. She also put some plates away smallest at the bottom in a stack, and the top one fell out and nearly hit me .

I know she is trying to help but I hope she will stop doing this because it drives me mad!

My mother does what your mother does. Or asks me where every single item goes. Drives me mad. Mil puts in wrong places but the job is done, and if she's done it I expect to find things in odd places so doesn't bother me.

MIL always does this when she washes up at our house. I could understand when it is, say, a casserole or unusual gadget she has never seen before. But she does it with cutlery(cutlery drawer is pretty obvious), with mugs (we have a mug tree on the work surface) and with drinking glasses(even though all our glasses are in a glass fronted cupboard so she can see where they go)
