I bought a pack of 12 at the supermarket earlier and put them on the stairs for taking up, next time someone went that way. They're still there. Funny that!

Seems both DH and DD have broken arms and are incapable of carrying anything with them when they go upstairs!

Hope neither of them are caught short in the middle of the night! Grin

I have an expectation that everyone pitches in.

When I bring groceries home dc unload and put it away, whoever going upstairs takes the toilet rolls/bath stuff etc.

Laundry is hung out by DC1 & DC2 gathers up dry laundry, DC1 sorts out piles of laundry and leaves everyone's laundry on their room everyone puts their own stuff away.

We share our cooking including dc youngest is 12.

Nobody would dare be so disrespectful as to leave me with any of the shit work after I've done the legwork to go out and buy groceries in the first place.

Where has the expectation come from that household members are not responsible for the general running and comfort of the household?

Oh and the person who uses the last of the loo roll replaces it. If they don't they're made too (doesn't happen too often).

Either say to your DH and DD "Next time you're going upstairs will you take the loo roll with you please?" or do it yourself the next time you go upstairs. That's all that's needed. No need for further thought nor a thread on MN.
I don't see that it's a problem if you're going up anyway, and equally if you want them to do it then make it clear to them. For all they know you might be wanting the toilet rolls downstairs for the downstairs loo (if you have one) and have just left them on the stairs for now. Communication.

My DM trained me to always take stuff that was on the bottom step up to the top. It took a while, and there were lots of times she caught me halfway up the stairs and made me go back down to pick things up, but it worked! Even now I've long moved out, if I visit I'll carry up anything that's at the bottom then leave it at the top because I don't know where she wants it
