OH stays at home and look after the kids DD 2 is with him all day and DS goes to nursery for 3 hours. I've just come back from work every single room is a mess last night dishes still there. He said he would wash them last night after I cooked.

Our washing machine is broke waiting for the engineer to come out so I said he could take it to launderette or just hand wash them and hang them up outside.

I've just came in and lost it I feel so angry! AIBU? When I was at home with the kids I use to at least get a few things done but he does nothing!

If you were a woman at home you would be told looking after children is a full time job.
There's a lot of hypocrisy on here.

I have a toddler who’s just started nursery, two other children in primary and secondary schools. I’m a treasurer for an animal rescue and I run my own exotic animal rescue. My husband works offshore. I do 6 school runs a day on top of work and taking care of 50 animals (including walking 3 dogs), after school clubs 4 days a week and I do all of the cooking, cleaning, washing and house admin. I can’t get my head around people on here who are sat at home all day with one 2 year old who can’t do the dishes or put a wash on.

This is spot on. When mine were that age, a very long time ago I was exactly the same apart from the animals.
Nearly everything got done every day I don't understand the problems that people are having getting jobs done with one toddler. Yadnbu op.

Oh please. Like any woman wouldleft piles of dishes. She'd have prob bthe one who cooked the food as well as cleaning up.

I'm still laughing at kids jumping on top of washing in the bath.

A woman further up says she leaves dishes!!

AryaStarkWolf · 11/06/2021 15:31

Wouldn't bother me too much as a once off but if it's a regular thing then yeah it definitely would

Theoldwoman · 11/06/2021 17:24

Honestly , it doesn't matter if dishes are left for 24 hours. Geez, some people need to lighten up in here.

OP - is this a regular thing or a one-off?
