Fucking laundry day...

[kseenaa]

I am in SO MUCH PAIN! X-/ Equal relationship we are not.

How a laundry day goes:

peting73 throws first two loads in the washing machine when he gets home from work, then goes to daycare to pick up Alexandra. Plays with her and eats a fruit, then changes the loads in the washing maching, getting two more loads going. Cooks late dinner. I get home, help with dinner. I take care of the cats litterbox. Peting puts Alexandra to bed, then goes to computer. I take care of all dishes. I prepare my breakfast for the morning. I pick up any mess. I go down to get all the laundry, fold it and put it away. All of it. And today I baked muffins to bring to work on Friday. It's now 11pm and I just NOW got to sit down.

Did I mention my hip hurts like hell? *grumpy* I seem to get stuck doing the bigger parts of the household work, and I'm the one that gets home at the latest!

Yeah. Peting has this very selective eyesight, apparently. When I had a fit over him not helping enough once, he told me he just don't see what needs doing. *shrug* I asked him what he meant, and yeah. Either he don't reflect on it or don't see it, but he just... don't do it unless asked or we plan it. *sigh*

So he helped cook dinner and doesn't know the dishes need to be washed or the laundry that is clean has to be folded and put away? I call bullshit LOL

Maybe make him a to do list and leave it for him? And tell him even after you get home you still need help with those things on the list?

Of course it's bullshit. *lol* But according to him certain things are 'my job', and not his. :-P Dishes since he is cooking, for instance. Which, Ok. I get that. But the rest of it? Cooking and dishes isn't the only household work on the list...

WHen my mom cooks, she does the dishes when dad cooks she does the dishes....so....that only works if it goes both ways

Exactly. Totally agree with you.
