To kick off at DH about this disgusting thing he does?

[BupcakesandHaunting]

I cook, he washes up.

We've got one of those food-catcher thingies in the plughole of the sink. Since DH doesn't scrape all of the debris off the plates before plunging them into the sink, there is always a lot of food floating in the water (that in itself is a vomitty thing) then he pulls the food catcher plug thing out just enough to let the water out but so that all the food debris catches in it (suppose that's what it's for)

Then he just waltzes out of the kitchen and leaves all of the food (bits of soggy onion/pepper/pasta/rice/whatever) lurking in the sink. It makes me feel really, really queasy. Yeah, I know I'm pathetic.

I just had a bit of a benny about it. I ask him every night of he can get rid of the food mulch and he never bloody does it. Please don't say that I should be grateful that he's washing-up in the first place. He's doing half a job. I don't agree to cook dinner, then assemble a half-cooked dinner on his plate.

DP runs a sink of hot (ish) soapy water & swizzes the dishes through. Greasy pans are still pretty greasy in the morning and I have to re-do them.

We fundamentally disagree on washing up technique. I do not get the sometimes British way of hand washing dishes in soapy water without rinsing, a technique he refuses to.budge on. Until we have a house with 2 sinks, I will wash & scour everything, drain & then run more very hot water to rinse.

My Dh couldn't see why we needed one of those food catcher things, of course this was because he just left food to fester in the plughole until I came along and fished it out.

Leave the bastard - it's the only way I cured this disgusting habit. There is one downside to taking that course of action though - you then have to do the washing up EVERY bloody night, for ever more. On second thoughts - don't leave the bastard!!

Your DH is GRIM! It's almost criminal to leave grotty bits of food in the sink in any way.
