Is DH being unreasonable about a pan that boiled over?

[lonelyplanetmum]

Just before DH came home from work this evening I was cooking. My youngest DD ( aged 3) called me to her bedroom to help her into a princess dress, wings and shoes etc. While we were wrestling her into the dress a pan of rice boiled over and left an average sized mess of spilt water on the 10 year old cooker.Although it was easy to clean I didn't get around to it as was serving supper, helping older DD with homework and printing off some info I need for work tomorrow! DH came home immediately saw the spilt water on the cooker and exclaimed " JEEZZ! " in an angry exasperated voice. (Also I had been out specially today to get him a special sirloin steak as a treat ). Is DH being unreasonable?!
For supper

Leave him.

Surely you clean the cooker top after you've finished all the cooking for that meal. Wouldn't it get spattered again when you cooked his steak?

Had he cleaned the cooker himself before going to work , or if you'd indicated that you expected him to clean it there and then, he might be justified. Otherwise, HIBU.

Personally I wouldn't leave pans boiling and go into another room though.

YABU and HIBU
No need to make an 'exasperated noise' about a boiled over pan but you are being massively oversensitive. If my H had left a mess in the kitchen and I came in from work to find it I might make an 'exasperated noise'. As long as I didn't have a go at him about it I think it would be a natural response.

It depends. Are you a SAHM or WOHM?
