99 times out of 100 I....

[namechangenumber204]

Restock the loo rolls in both the loos. We have a box that holds 4 in both. NO ONE EVER fills the box except me. They would get down to the last sheet, and probably used the bloody hand towel rather than refill the box.

Strip the bed. DH will - if I ask him to - but would NEVER think to do it himself.

Get tomorrow's dinner out of the freezer. DH would 'just eat something that cooks from frozen' (Quorn usually) or - even worse - get something out late and defrost it in the microwave. (not envy)

I have come to the conclusion that men (I only share my home with men) are totally impossible at forward planning.

Anyone else?

They are, because we do it all for them.

99 times out of a 100 I have to put everything in the sink, people in my house seem to think used pots etc belong at the side of the sink on the work top?! Drives me insane

Same here.
Only yesterday I decided I'm not touching the loo rolls again. If I need loo roll I will get it out the cupboard and put the whole remaining roll back in the packet once I'm done with it.

but lucindaa how do you prepare the sink to wash up if everything's in it already?

@Spied so glad I'm not alone!

Merry i run the hot tap, put washing up liquid on a sponge and wash each item, placing them on the draining board to be dried and put away. Absolutely can't bare filling a full sink water to soak dirty pots in to wash. I know many many people do like to do it that way but just doesn't feel right to me, so I put dirty pots in the sink and wash them individually.

@namechangenumber204 We had similar issues in our house until I decided enough was enough. In my case it's just me, DH and our baby. But I'd literally hit my limit and told him exactly what I needed from him from now on. He could either choose to change or I would leave. I'd moaned about these things countless times over the years, but he seemed to understand this time that I was dead serious. I didn't want my son growing up with that as an example of how to be.

My DH is a kind and lovely person. He'd bend over backwards for anyone. But he completely took me, our relationship and our house for granted. I suspect your situation is similar and your husband and sons need to step up, unless it doesn't bother you.

They are like that because you do it for them. The most I will do is whatsapp a reminder to DP and 2 adult DS in this house. I will do dinner, I won't do it 2 days running though - I don't mind what they make for everyone as long as they do it. The more you do the more they lap it up!

Lol I live by myself and don't always manage to do all of these things 😂
