SarahJo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 All of this has made me Stair Hurdles are a common event in my house - do the other people in the house just lose sight when they take the 1st step up ?????? - all MALE too Toilet rolls on floor/window ledge - never replaced, despite new rolls being in every bathroom Keep sane omleteers - we are not in a minority - though Lesley, you could be kinder an 'hire out Carl" - would love someone to do the cooking here for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I count myself very lucky to have an OH who cooks and cleans (he is doing the sunday roast as I type). However he too is blind to toilet roll innards and bottles that need to go to the bottle bank. He also seems to have no idea of the location of the dishwasher and will pile up dishes to the ceiling rather than put them inside it I have learned to ignore his little foibles, because he is pretty much perfect otherwise. My sons, on the other hand, need much more work as they seem to be happy to live in a pit full of dirt (especially DS1 who is 12) with dirty underwear building up around them in mountains .

Chickvic Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Can't complain - he does nearly all the...ok all the housework! I will wash and iron and cook but he usually does the rest (although he is home more than I am!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 ......cleans the bathroom, the fridge, the cooker, Properly cleans the living room, the kitchen At least I know now that wielding an iron won't break him after I was away for 3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I do the majority of the cleaning and all of the cooking. OH does the bins and the recycling. He also tidies up which means just putting things in piles and then ignoring them! I am the only one that realises that 'under' things need cleaning too, for example, under the sofa, under the tv cabinet, under the bed. I only ever iron if I desperately have to and I don't iron OHs clothes. He wears 'em, he irons 'em! The last time I went to use the iron (first time in a couple of months) the flippin thing broke. It's a sign. Ironing is not for me! OH thought it was hilarious - until he had to buy a new iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Another one here who lives on their own and has to do all these things. There are compensations to living alone - the mess is mine (or the cats), and if something is missing/empty/put away in the wrong place then there's only me to blame. There are no arguments about what colour to paint the rooms or what to put in the garden, and I have SOLE custody of the remote control (not that I watch TV very often!) The downside is that every job has my name against it. It's hard work sometimes doing everything from DIY to bins, splitting wood to cleaning the hens out, to putting up the Christmas decorations (and knowing it'll be me taking them down again). I'm just envious of those who have someone else in the house to do even a few of these things - spare a thought for us singletons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
