To not be 'grateful he helps'

Ex visits my house because he can't take kids to his (unsuitable)
5year old dd was sick while he was here, she's thrown up on all of her bedding and mine, because he was here helped, stripping beds while I dealt with vommiting child.

He put it in the washer then offered to take it to his because he has a dryer and I don't.
He's just fetched it back and I've opened it up and the vomit chunks have been washed and dried and fetched back, he just put it into the machines scrunched up.

This is just one of his half arsed attempts to help that have been winding me up for years.
He insisted on doing the decorating when we were together but didn't measure the paper, just stuck it up and then when it didn't fit, cut more and stuck it on so I have jigsaw wallpaper that I can't afford to replace.

But I should be grateful he helps 😒

Be grateful he is an ex.

I doubt he has done it on purpose.

I do understand your annoyance...waste of time

I know it's not on purpose but everything is half a job that I have to finish but still be grateful he helped.
Help that makes more work for me!

Why can't he take them elsewhere when its his turn?
that's his problem to solve, not your duty to have to accommodate him.

He sounds like a fuckwit.
