Just One day Would Be Nice.

[azureline**]

Just once, (or maybe for a week) I would be so happy if my OH would :

put the milk back in the fridge....

wipe up the spills on the bench

put his clothes IN the hamper

put his sandals in the wardrobe

take his mobile phone with him as he goes to work (so the neighbours don't have to watch me in my pj's run out and give it to him......(or I have to answer it all day...)

sign the cheques correctly.......:| (so I can do the banking and mailing the same day)

Is it too much to ask?X-(

and: make a decision about the new fridge.......

Is anybody watching that relationship health show on the ABC in Thursday nights?  Well, last night they were saying research has shown that couples who share the domestic chores more evenly have more sex.  Tell  him that az.

There is nothing more attractive than a guy helping make your load lighter. Having said that, I am just as likely to help with the yard work.

Az, in our home we have a chores list that is evenly shared amongst all of us. I found a website that you enter everything into that needs to be done, it is given a difficulty score and all chores are evenly shared. Since doing it, everyone in the house is aware of how much goes into keeping it running and clean and tidy. And they leave less stuff laying around as it is probably going to be their turn next to have to clean it up. You can make allowances for people having to work etc and the program will schedule them less or a more appropriate chore.

In the past I have done similar to suggested above though, stuff left laying around was dumped on their beds etc. But then they would just shove it to the floor lol.

Thanks for the advice... all of it :^O

I have been able to stay home for most of our married life.......apart from my input into our business......I consider myself very lucky in that respect.

I was just having a rant/complain........ I am over it now... but the saucepan is still in the sink.

There will be no new fridge until after the weekend......I have looked online, we have almost decided on a particular type but not brand or size yet.

My sister was here for coffee this morning. I don't make coffee, my OH usually does as my coffee is BAD.... when sis visits, she does it.

This morning she said "that would drive me nuts, going out to get the milk all the time to make coffee."

I said "but I don't go out to get it" 😛 OH thought that was funny.

With the pot I have a great tip for burnt on gunk. Two tablespoons of salt in about 2cms of water. Boil it on high until it almost boils dry. Stir it with a wooden spoon to gently scrape the gunk off. I have saved many a popcorn burnt saucepan from my kids' torture this way. Also works well when Kieran incinerates minute steaks. We call them 15 minute steaks lol.

And the tip is for Mr Az, not you ! He can clean it !

my parents have been married nearly 53 years and this week mum had to put dad into a nursing home due to dementia and other illness.  i think she would be happy to put up with all these things if they could just be together.

It is sad when it comes to that 😞

We put my father in law in a nursing home 2 weeks ago... a terribly sad day, dementia is awful. Some days are good, some are bad but at least he is safe and well cared for. Easier now to just be the visitor and not the tired emotionally upset carer.

:-x

Can your mum also go into the nursing home in an independent unit?

sadly my parents don't have the money for mum to move into a unit.  luckily she is still quite active and has a lot of friends mostly from her church.  we went through it all with my partner's dad late last year and now my dad this year, they are both in the same nursing home, both have dementia though my dad is worse.  he rang today convinced he has been in there months and no-one has visited him, he has been there four days and i have been up twice and talked to him twice on the phone but he has no memory of any of it.  it is heartbreaking as it has come on relatively quick and is progressing very quickly - he is 86.  i have always been a daddy's girl but already i feel like my father has moved on somewhere else.  my mother is very upset of course as they have always had a good relationship.  it is all so emotionally exhausting.
