Men washing up!!!!

He fancies a bit.... I say no.....he offers to wash the 3 dirty baking trays from this mornings full english breakfast. After careful deliberation I agree, as they were filthy. (I would have thrown them and just bought more tomorrow!!) I tell him no matter what DO NOT use my new washing up sponge as its new today. I repeat it carefully so it sinks in. I do not have to tell him that the pink washing up brush is out of bounds and is kitchen DISPLAY only as that actually sunk in a while back. He goes for a shower thinking he is on a promise when as usual I was telling porkies...only to go in the kitchen to discover he used the floor sponge under the kitchen sink to scrub the pots. Oh my god.....floor sponges - washing up sponges two totally different things. NEVER to be overlapped. Moral of the story. Do your own washing up!! Are there any men out there that do actually understand the science of cleaning??

Sponges are crap for washing up. As soon as you put any elbow grease on them theyre gonners

Scouring pads are the way

Ha Ha,

Just got one over on her

The sponges are the ones with the scourers on the reverse and I used the one that she told me NOT TO USE, I just cleaned it well afterwards

I do the washing up, the missus does the cooking

I hoover, the missus does the dusting

I do the washing, the missus hangs them out

then i iron the clothes, the missus puts them away. I clean the shower because only i use it, the missus prefers a bath so she cleans that

I clean the bog after use, the missus cleans it after she has used it.

I don't leave dirty clothes lying around, (it annoys me), i had a father who never lifted a finger around the house, so i helped my mam to do housework and look after my brothers and sisters, so i suppose it's alway's stayed with me.

Thanks Angie, i don't look at it as helping out, i'm an ex squaddie/bouncer/boxer who is'nt afraid of being called a wimp just because i like doing thing's around the house. Beside's i can iron better than Mrs. Woody.

my missus is just like you angie, its all got to be done this way and anyother way is just the wrong way, and its got to be done RIGHT NOW, not later, like after tea i like to just sit for 20 minutes and chill out, but again im in the wrong, i meant to jump right up and do the washing up, which dosent bother me , but doing them right after ive just finished my tea, can i ask are you like my missus when it comes to putting pots on the drying board? bowls at the front, side plates in the middle and big plates at the back? just whack in! they all end up in the same cupboard!!!
and the towels! dont get me started, she has three differnt piles, hand towels, floor/meduim towels, and big towels, but all i do if shes pissed me off, is mix the first two up, and this time of year she goes to work on the local market for her mate whos got a stall, and if she's really pissed me of i wont put the heating on before she comes in, and if she does il turn it down, and il run her a bath, now she is a freak when it comes to having a bath, ive seen her get in the bath when theres only a couple of inchs in it and then just sit in it with just the hot tap running

but il run the bath and make it luke warm!

when your wife wants things done her way when she wants them doing just say 'ok, off you go'

its important to not crack whilst she sighs excesivly for effect.

in fact, ask her to be quiet as you can thear the telly.

dont crack brothers.

just tell her if she is willing to contemplate anyone elses solution to come and talk, that winds them up even more.

by the way, when you are doing jobs round the house ask for their help. then give them a bloody hard time.
go and get me this, wheres that, can you get this, put that away, hold that tighter...no Fuc$ing tighter you useless cow!

then when she spits her dummy out just say...

am i being unreasonable?

tell her thats exactly how you feel when she starts.
