Men loading dishwashers, lighthearted (I think)

Now, in the great scheme of things this is of no consequence.

So why does it drive me to distraction? I mean, how hard is it FFS? It’s simple logic that the bottom tray of the dishwasher will take more than one frying pan!

Every bloody day I open it and have to move things around! Every day!!!!!

I’ve tried explaining the logic around it, that hasn’t worked. I’ve thought about drawing a little diagram but he wouldn’t look at it.

if I bring it up again I suspect I’ll get the response, well, you do it then I can’t to right for doing wrong! (A well trotted out phrase)

maybe that’s the point. Do a job so badly that their not asked (begged) to help.

as I say, a small thing but one that very well may be the last straw if it carries on.

am I alone in this?

I often wonder whether such a high proportion of men just generally don’t see it as the woman in their household has always done it, ie their mother. Also women seem to have waaaay more pride in their house and presentation of the home than most men.
