Just had a big row with DH over cleaning the kitchen. I usually cook dinner, he cleans up after while I put our kids to bed. It’s a system that works well for us!
This evening I came downstairs and found him sweeping the kitchen surfaces with our dustpan and brush! 🤢 I asked him not to do this before so when I saw him doing it again this evening I got angry and asked why he couldn’t do it the normal way I.e use a cloth to sweep crumbs into hand or even on to floor and sweep after (which he’d be doing anyway!). He couldn’t see where I was coming from at all, and cannot understand what is wrong with his way. I think it’s disgusting even though he plans to wipe down the surfaces after with the kitchen cloth! He said he’s not cleaning up anymore if he’s not left to do it his way etc etc 🙄
AIBU?
Please help me to explain to him how gross this is? He won’t listen. We’re not actually speaking over this!!
AIBU?
Huge row with DH! Help me!!

Don’t see the problem as long as he’s wiping down afterwards.

Buy him a crumb pan and brush. This will solve the problem provided he doesn’t use it to sweep the floor

Depends if you bin the cloth afterwards or use it for washing the dishes... I wouldn’t want germs from the floor all over the cloth then transferred to the kitchen sink and all over any dishes washed up.
eeeewww.
