Trying to have a relaxing bath dh said he would wait until I went in the bath and go and do the dishes fair enough but I'm up here trying to chill and he's down there fucking banging dishes around making a right racket whilst he does them it's so loud I literally want to run down staires and throttle him he's woke dd up aswell so that's fucking fabulous. Wouldn't of minded I actually wanted to do them today because I bleached my kitchen sink today and I know he would of messed it up again but he insisted he was going them. Fucking do them quietly then you knob!

Hahaa i remember pregnancy fury

Fun times

Unfortunately a dishwasher isn't quiet, either. Many a morning woken up at 6am by dh unloading it from the night before, rattling every single item and putting every single cup in the cupboard with a loud thud.

Thank fuck I'm single . Do my own pots AND have a peaceful bath !!

sanssherif · 11/09/2018 21:42

My baths are pretty much my only time to relax and I hate it when dh starts clattering around. I don't tell him that though
Why not?

HildaZelda · 11/09/2018 21:46

@peachypetite, thank you. Glad it's not just me.

Charolais · 11/09/2018 21:47

My husband used to load the dishwasher by banging the dishes together to let me know he was doing it. All of our plates and mugs were chipped.

He was also letting one of the dogs lick the plates while they were in the rack and thought is was funny. "Prewash" he called it. I told him to stop letting her do it because it was nasty and she was going to cut herself on the knives she was leaning over. One day she got part of her collar caught in the rack and when she pulled away she took the bottom rack with her. She ran around the kitchen dragging it as he chased her. The noise was terrible. It was full of dishes and every single one was broken.

But he finally learned his lesson.

Monty27 · 11/09/2018 21:47

I think it only enhances a soak whilst listening to someone else clear a mess up.
Hope he hasn't de-bleached the sink mind Hmm

Wellmeaning · 11/09/2018 21:49

Charloais but were you in the bath at the time, though? Wink

BillywigStings · 11/09/2018 21:52

Fuck I’d be glad he’s doing the damn dishes. At this point the idea of him touching the hoover is a turn on.

What you said about him being a full grown adult and of course he does the dishes...

Mine is a man child. I am seething at your smugness.

Wellmeaning · 11/09/2018 21:53

I loooooovvveeed your post.

Let's change the thread to Things Your DH Does That You Don't Love.

Every.Single.Time. He takes DC's out somewhere he comes back without their coats (or hoodies or whatever). I mean it. Last one, weekend just gone, they left their hoodies on a train. Please don't someone ask me if I rang Lost Property.

Wellmeaning · 11/09/2018 21:54

That was to Charolais. I love the image of the dog tugging away at the bottom drawer of the dishwasher and your DH standing there wondering what to get hold of first .. the dog .. the drawer .. the best plate ..

BevBrook · 11/09/2018 21:57

You know what OP, I am with you. I used to flat share with a very dear friend but she was a lark where I am an owl. Our bedrooms were both next to the kitchen. She used to do the washing up at what I considered the crack of dawn, banging pots around, while I was in bed. Having experienced this I would not do the washing up while she was in bed in the evening so as not to disturb her but then found she was cross because I never did the washing up - because she got to it before I could in the morning!

nakedscientist · 11/09/2018 21:57

Haha I get the rage, OP.

Standing with the kitchen door open telling me stuff he's already said....come in or go out!

Loading dishwasher really slooooooooowly. First you take everything out of the sink and put it on top of the cooker (?), then load with only standard items ( not cake tins, baking trays, ramekins, egg cups ......) switch on. Then put all reject items back in sink, step away. Do not wash them or clean sink. Sit down, if challenged, say I'm doooooing it. No you're just going to leave the sink a mess aren't you?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Love him really ( mostly!)

Boyicantwait2beamumagain · 11/09/2018 21:58

Billywig apologies didn't mean to cone across as smug I'm genuinely a really easy going and I think nice person but i let him know a long time ago if he wants to be waited on hand and foot he better go back to his mum's house because in this house we are all equals and nobody's time is more precious than anyone else's.

@BastardGoDarkly my Cleaner dragged poor Hetty up the stairs by her hose nose, after she fell down (Hetty, not the Cleaner)

mooncuplanding · 11/09/2018 22:21

I hate baths

cakedup · 11/09/2018 22:28

I feel your pain. I don't have an OH but I have teen ds who can't do anything quietly. Even getting a drink requires him to BANG open the cupboard door CRASH thrust fridge door open so hard it hits the wall BANG puts the drink bottle down on the counter CRASH throws the used glass in the sink. Drives me fucking mad.

What a load of weird initial responses. Are we supposed to feel grateful that our partners are contributing to the running of the house? Powerbunting wins patronising post of the year award whilst peachypetite loses out due to being so unoriginal.

UpstartCrow · 11/09/2018 22:31

But if they don't do it noisily how could you tell they are suffering.

recklessruby · 11/09/2018 22:33

Grin about hetty bring dragged around. We have Henry. The twat is usually drunk bouncing off the table legs and falling on his arse but apparently hoovering is something everyone loves.
I envy you OP I am always the dishes queen

Oldaintallthat · 11/09/2018 22:37

My dh is a massive twat is an angel for hoovering at 8m every saturday morning.

“Wouldn’t have minded - you lose credibility otherwise...

Singlenotsingle · 11/09/2018 22:46

Don't complain. He won't want to do them again.
