LOL I hear ya - today i told dh to clean the bathroom - and he did! I mean if I ask him he does it but its the constant asking that bugs me - hes not bling he can see what needs to be done. (oh I need to check myself here as Dh did 'notice' it needed vacuming and did it)....
I work part time so i don't think the housework is totally mine to do. Dh doesn't do the washing but mainly cause I would worry he would put the wrong colours with things ( and he would) but if I text whn I am at work to put washing out he will (hes home for lunch i am not) I did have a word with him about not putting washing out 'oh I didn't knwo there was any' A family of 5 and he thinks theres no washing LOL  and after everything he wonder why i dont want to roll in the hay (so to speak) at the end of the day!!!!

My DP is lazy and you know why? cos like many boys hes a mummys boy, sorry to be blunt but its true .
Honestly from the patients ive seen, men and teenage boys, you should see the way their mothers mollycoddle them , actually no, you shouldn't,its disturbing , i mean 17 and your mum holding your hand? WIMPS |
LMAO!!!! omg that is the exact conversation we had at my work the other day, after we had a guy come in with his mum, his mum had phoned all day for an appointment as "aparently" her 22yr old son had broken a tooth and was in unbearable excrucuiting pain!! so we got him in (after hours) and . . it was a tiny chip off the corner of a tooth, he didnt want any local and he didnt even flinch once! must have been in heaps of pain huh !? NOT!!
|
haha, you work in the house of horrors as well huh? Isnt funny how according to the mums its always "hes in unbearable pain "?
Although with our wimpy patients they would ask for the local , and then go "ah ah , oh my gosh that really hurts "
We had one guy who had a clean for goodness sake ,and the carry on ! you would have thought we were amputating his leg with a spoon-or that he was going through actual pain , like give birth
I was just thinking , my mum was pretty lucky , my dad cleans, cooks and does the washing without ever being asked....hmmm....

I had this problem until I told him that I wasn't doing any of his washing if it wasn't in the basket.
But he is more tidy than me (you don't want to see the state of my house at the moment) so will usually do more than me when he was home.
I know that when we live in Waiouru there are going to be a few changes as he will need to have his uniform washed and dried each night, so it will be washing at night time. I don't mind washing it and drying it but he will stil iron it as I am allergic.

I have it fairly lucky.
But as of late things have taken a slide towards "a sweet deal" for DH.
He cooks 3 or 4 times a week and does the dishes every night.
But I do all the housework, washing and 99% of the baby stuff. Even in the weekend.
He's getting better.
He gives Hannah her bath every night, feeds her and puts her to bed, so the evenings are nice for me (I still have to express though, so Hannah has a bottle for the following night).
But he's definitely one that needs to be asked to do something or it doesn't get done.
He does, however, do the lawns on a regular basis.
He's had a load of washing sitting in the machine since yesterday afternoon that he didn't hang out (I sure as hell wasn't going to do itas I'd JUST finished ironing and folding a weeks worth of washing). Now it's in the drier

I don't seem to have it toooooo bad...with no kids yet, DF cooks most nights and ummm....oh ok, maybe it is. I do all the laundry and general cleaning. He does help me with the dishes (when I tell him to dry them after I've washed....although more often than not he just waits until they dry themselves and just puts them away). Lawns. Well. Hrmmm. Once upon a time, for 9 years, DF worked/managed a lawn mowing company. He now hates lawn mowing. I refuse to do them as I do the indoor stuff. We've owned our house for just over 3 months. The lawns have been mowed twice. First time about 4 weeks after we moved in, second time yesterday (with no catcher cos they were so long) and only after I told him that if he didn't I would pay someone to come in and do them. Lots of swearing and moaning in the process however!!!
Hrmmm, that looks kinda bad LOL I prefer to do the cleaning over him though, cos he's a guy and doesn't see all the dirt I do.....although in saying that, I am SERIOUSLY not a tidy person and he always goes to fill the gas bottle for me

Yeah I have a Mummys boy- but then again, he never does anything right so I prefer to do most of the housework so I know its being done properly. He does put his washing in the basket though, he knows it would get thrown in the bin if he pulled that kind of stunt as I have enough washing to do on the weekends as it is!
His Mother molly coddles him still to this day- she would wipe his bum if he let her

DH does the lawns and that's about it. But the thing is we don't have a day to day schedule as he's away half our lives anyway that its easier for me to do them.
I have told him that when he's home he can cook one night (doesn't happen, its fend for ourselves night) and if the washing isn't in the laundry, it doesn't get done. He used to vacuum as part of the housework but has only been home 2 days this month so I'm not waiting THAT long for them to be done!

I tried to do the lawns a couple of years ago for a bit of exercise - and OMG did I muck it up or what!
I pressed a few buttons on the mower and then did a strip of grass - but I had pressed the wrong buttons and I ended up cutting the grass SO short that it was basically just dirt! OOPS!
So Ive never been asked to do the lawns again!
