WTAF. Washing on holiday

[Holidayfun2017]

So we’re staying with family for a week in the Caribbean. Anyway we’ve already had a week in the stated and need to do some washing. So Mrs stepd says she’ll show me how to use the machine. And oh just keeps his head down. I know she’s a SAHM on mat leave, but why does that mean the washing is my wifework? And I had to peg it out as well while oh and ss drank beer etc.
I’m being nicey polite guest so didn’t kick off like I would at home

Peed off

Ok.

She's showing you how to do this stuff because you're the one showing interest, so don't blame her. Your partner is the one keeping his head down and drinking beer.

Just remember it says something about her, not you.

Why on earth would you be angry about doing one washload when you are staying as a guest in someone's house? This makes no sense to me. What help would you need from your partner (or him from you) to put on a load of washing? I cannot imagine your household dynamic if this would normally make you 'kick off'. It's hardly comparable to being treated as a doormat.

Hang on, not sure I follow.

You told someone, whose house you're staying in, that you needed to do some washing. She then told you how to use the washing machine so you could do some washing.

Is that right?

You asked your host about using the washing machine and you are going on a rant because she showed you where it was and how it worked?

Just remember it says something about her, not you

Er no, it says a lot about the OP and her husband- all it says about the other woman is she responded to the OP's request.

I know she’s a SAHM on mat leave, but why does that mean the washing is my wifework?

Well it certainly isn't her problem. How you and your husband sort it out is your problem.

You sound really unpleasant and hard work.

Who has helped with washing, cleaning, cooking, childcare the whole week?

Because I happily do the laundry while DH does the shitwork.
