To be annoyed at DH for only doing half a job

[Goingforplatinum]

Honestly its so frustrating.

Examples: had to go to the tip yesterday, informs me he would just take half the stuff and will take the other half the weekend 🙄 even though it would all fit in the car.

Will put the vacuum to charge. Once he has used it will but this next the cupbored it goes in and leave the charger plugged in (uses the excuse he has to use it again tomorrow so no point in putting it away)

Washes up, and cleans kitchen. Will leave items in drainer and then when nothing else will fit, just leaves the rest of the washing up on the side.

Will tidy lounge. Put all items off the floor onto childrens toy box (this could be any item including clothing, shoes, the TV remote)

Puts a load of washing on, never takes it out and washing ends up staying damp.

I would put it down to laziness, but some things he is really articulate about such as cutting the grass, vacuuming, cooking.

So what on earth is it all about??? When I bring it up woth him he just looks at me really blank.

AIBU to start feeling really annoyed about this??

Start doing your own half jobs...

• offer to iron his clothes but don't do all of it. Like leave a sleeve of a shirt unironed.
• put a frozen meal in the oven but don't cook it all the way through.
• or make half a meal, cook a steak and don't add any accompanying veg/mash etc

When he questions it, just say that you thought you'd see what it's like doing half a job like he does 😁

Some of these replies have really made me laugh.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one in this situation

Ex DH was exactly the same. Half loads of washing hung up, rest left for me to find. Most things washed up but never all. If there were things on draining board, never put them away just pile wet stuff on top. Carry thing into the kitchen and leave them on top of the dishwasher. If ever I asked him not to do these things, he’d roll his eyes and sigh through gritted teeth. I felt like the mother of a teenage boy.

So what started as a light hearted post is now more serious.

He put DD car seat in the car last night, I put her in this morning to take her to nursery and when I got her out found the seat wasn't fitted properly. When I asked DH he shrugged and said it was dark.

Fuming!!!

I think it would be worthwhile living in a mess just until he realises what's going on. No harm in trying!
