Really Annoyed This Morning ...

[MrsToriCostner]

Sorry guys, I just really need a rant!

SAHM here, two kids, almost 7, almost 2.

Got up this morning, came down, kitchen a mess from me cooking last night.

Presumed DH would have sorted it or at least filled the dishwasher and turned it on last night.

I do DHs packed lunch for work and shout up and ask him to bring any glasses/pots from upstairs meanwhile I've told DC1 to get dressed for school numerous times but they are not listening and still in pjs watching tv.

I go upstairs to get ready for the school run and find glasses/pots in DC1 bedroom, DH has taken the flat sheet off our bed and dumped it on the floor and left it there because DC2 leaked in the night apparently. His socks are dumped on the floor too, it's the same every morning, I find myself putting them in the wash basket myself.

DC1 is still not dressed and apparently can't find any socks despite multiple pairs been in the wardrobe.

So I'm shouting loud by now as we are going to be late and I'm taking 2 kids on the school run.

I don't know why I'm writing this, I just feel I could fall out with the world today 🙁

I know this is an oldish thread but…
Like you, I find it normal that dishes, pots, glasses will be scattered around various rooms in a family home.
Why the hell are some posters baffled or aghast at this? They sound like Stepford Wives.

It’s a nightmare, kids and husbands don’t clear up after themselves, good ole mums there to do it, so why should they, go on strike and say if you’ve finished with cup, plate, or whatever. Put in sink, dishwasher, wash bin, washing machine, or it stays there where you left it.

The problem seems to be that your husband is a lazy slob and you're letting him get away with it..don't! This is not a way to live.

Kids don't get TV until they've gotten ready.

True. I removed a glass left upstairs during either my DH's wake, his birthday wake or possibly my birthday, meaning it's been their since either mid-Feb or mid-May. It was empty, but I have found cups of tea with a nice crop of mould in our art studio - DH used to forget about them. I'm not sure why anyone thinks this odd.
NB Came home from DD's today. Took glass of water downstairs. Pretty sure it only just replaced glass of water I forgot to take downstairs last time I stayed!
Still, men should not leave sheets on the floor. Kids should wash and dress and have breakfast before watching TV.
