Semi lighthearted - what's your top "unless I do it it doesn't get done" jobs

[MusicTeacherSussex]

So I'm feeling slightly murderous. Some jobs are invisible to men or kids?

Mine are

1. scrubbing the toilet bowl when there's stuff on it
2. putting away the herbs and spices (after DP has emptied it to use every ingredient we have in a "basic" chili
3. taking the finished laundry OUT of the machine

🤨🤨🤨

Organising anything for birthdays and Christmas... presents, food, activities.

🍷 for you!

@enemyofthepeople AMEN

Leaving the damn empty toilet roll on the side.

It's literally creating and leaving rubbish for somebody else!!

The main one is cooking. No one except me cooks.
Bathroom cleaning
Emptying rotten veg from the bottom of the fridge
Cleaning the fridge and oven (he has literally never done either of these)
Birthday presents for kids parties

All of them. Single parent.

Clean the oven
Clean the bathroom
Clean the windows
Laundry
Removing empty toilet roll
Removing the used recycling from the kitchen side

Literally everything. Family of 5 and I can't think of a single thing anyone but me does.

Taking stuff upstairs
Changing the toilet roll
Changing bedding
Putting stuff in the bin

Organising things to get fixed. Organising others in the house to fo jobs. DS complained about empty toilet rolls so it's now his job to check them every day!

Wow. Why have you let this happen?

Lifting all the dog poo [boke]

Despite DH insisting that if we were to get a second dog (I was against the idea) that he would lift ALL the poo For Ever!

Do I detect the smell of burning martyrs? Make it your New Year's Resolution to stop being a mugs!

I’m the shit fairy. No one notices shitty toilet bowls but me.

Yes to cleaning out / organising the fridge!

Also:
Cleaning the shower curtain
Cobweb removal
Cleaning the oven
Unpacking the shopping delivery - this is a big bugbear of mine! DH will put the fridge/freezer stuff away but things for the cupboards will just in the bags for ages (or until I crack and put it away)

Oh, and watering the houseplants!

Orgasm 🤣

Well, you said lighthearted

Throwing empties of ANYTHING away, shampoo bottles, milk (always a tiny bit left but not enough for a cuppa left in fridge) veg packets left in drawer, toilet roll sometimes he will put empty cereal boxes back in cupboards??? Cleaning the toilet properly under the seat etc, dusting especially skirting boards it’s like they just don’t exist.

However in the interest of fairness, I never wheel the bins out for collection. Wasn’t a predetermined thing, he just does it like clockwork before I’ve had a chance. He also does the dishwasher emptying, again just like clockwork before I’ve had the chance.

@itchity the shit fairy! That made me snort in public

@Movingbriskyon you win the thread 😂

@movingbriskyon you win the thread LOL

Everything cooking laundry, parenting, shopping. He has a job.

I live alone, so, everything.

At work, I'm sure I'm the only person who reports things that are broken to maintenance, who puts dirty cups and spoons into the tray for washing, and who stocks the printer with paper. Oh, and who cracks a window (our work is insanely stuffy and hot, no one ever shuts the window or complains about it being open, yet no one else things to get up, walk over, and open one...)

EVERYTHING!

As I (furiously) cleaned the fridge out before Christmas, I asked DH if he’d ever in his life cleaned a fridge, or defrosted a freezer. He looked at me like and was forced to admit not...

“What a charmed life you lead,” I said (with a ‘tone’, apparently!)

Cleaning windows, hair in plug holes, clearing drains, cleaning crumbs from toaster, rescaling kettle, oven cleaning, wiping skirting boards, emptying any bin that’s not in the kitchen, wiping light switch plates ... oh god, so many!
