If you're not actually going to take the bin out

[1991all]

Then don't fucking tie it up, just leave it alone
It doesn't help, in fact, it's really annoying as I can't even put an extra apple core in there

And if you are going to put the dishwasher on, then put the bowls and plates that are in the sink in there too
There is room
It doesn't help, it means I can't empty the dishwasher at my leisure, I have to empty it to put more dirty dishes in, that could've been included in that wash

AIBU, or moaning?
Or ungrateful?

YANBU.

I asked DH to make sure DS's white shirt got washed for a party. He did wash it, but that was it. He ignored the full whites basket right beside the machine and just washed one solitary shirt. I was fuming.

Then there's the bins. He walks past the full kitchen bin, the dirty nappy at the back door and moves the bin from the back garden to the pavement. Then expects some congratulation.

my DH is just like you all describe, but mine complains the house is a mess when he comes in (well im sorry but going to two different school to pick up DC and being 34 weeks pregnant with twins is hard enough)
yesterday he came home (@10pm) I was in the bath and he complained because all he had for his tea was pie and chips "wheres my gravy" was what he said to me (erm boil the kettle and as bisto not hard!!)

when I was in hospital for 4 days after my last pregnancy he took his and DC washing to his mums and had her cook every night!

Men do not need 'training'

If they lived alone they'd manage to do their own dishes, washing, empty the bins etc. They don't now because they don't have to - if they don't, what does it matter, you'll sort it.

Oh dear, this all sounds like me.

DH, on the other hand, folds his dirty laundry before putting it in the basket. Why? So it "tessellates".

And I have only just recently managed to convince him that he does NOT need to roll his pants and socks before putting them away in his drawer

We play binaroo here, just keep adding stuff until it collapses. Whoever it collapses on has to empty and add a new liner.

Putting empty cereal boxes back and then complaining there's none left the next time he wants some! wtf if there's a box on the shelf i assume it's got something in it!

[Drizzleit]

I've been trying to train DH now for five years but I'm getting nowhere. MIL says it's her fault for spoiling him as a child and never making him tidy up after himself. It's depressing to think I'm going to spend the rest of my life either clearing his mess up or silently fuming while he carries on blissfully unaware.

poshfrock I thought my husband was at work when clearly he is leading a double life with you!

'write me a list and I'll do it' is his mantra..

Yesterday he text me to say what needs doing.

I replied ' breakfast dishes (had been out since school run & ran out of time) feed dog, Hoover our room'

All other hoovering had been done by me the day before.

Came home to find him hoovering the bit that had already been done..

Went out with the kids to a friends for tea.

Came back dishes not done. Dog starving..

Wondering what the point of the 'what needs to be done?' text is??

Bugger... you've just reminded me that the bins do need to go out tonight but those 2 glasses of red have gone to my legs!
