Well I do most of the washing up because I do it properly, where as she leaves bits of food on the cutlery, which drives me mental. The only thing I don't do is cleaning the bathroom. FFS Jammy has it got that bad that I'm now talking about domestic chores

Yep I'm afraid so.

Try to help myself but usually get told to clear off as I'm just getting in the way or doing it wrong...loading the dishwasher incorrectly seems to be a particular bugbear of hers. Just don't get it myself, I mean if I load the dishwasher, let it do it's thing and then put all the clean dishes etc back in the cupboards what possible difference can it make ?

I'm not a bad lad though at least I take care of my own empties <cheers>

I had the ‘loading the dishwasher wrong ‘ charge so often, one day I got out a notepad and got her to teach me, item type by item type, exactly where each should go to avoid an apocalyptic calamity. This armed, the next day I loaded it up, full of confidence in my dishwasher loading skills.

later....... ‘you’ve loaded the dishwasher’

me(waiting for praise) ‘yes, in line with instructions’

boss: ‘You’ve done it wrong, I’ve changed how I do it’

never again.

How old is your youngster(s) este ?

My Mrs would have our 12 year old sweeping the chimney if she thought she'd get away with it. I just tell her to let him have his childhood and focus on his schoolwork. Needless to say she disagrees and thinks he needs to be self sufficent...anyway works for me as I'm the good cop :police:
