Argh! DH and the Dishwasher

MamatoJackson

I could kill him.

Anytime DH loads the dishwasher, he loads it with dishes that still have CHUNKS of food on it.

I have talked to him about it three million times and believe I even cried the last time.  It was just one of those days.  He swore he'd stop.

He loaded the effing dishwasher last night and just now I go to unload it and put bottles together and there's sh*t all over all the bottles.

Have you ever enforced a rule that DH wasn't allowed to do something around the house because of this?  Seriously, his dishwasher-loading privileges are being revoked.  I'm sure he'll be heart-broken.

HE CAN'T EVEN MAINTAIN!!!

My husband isn't allowed to vacuum since he broke my Dyson twice in a matter of six months.   He willingly accepted the rule b/c he didn't want to go "vacuumless" again.

Dh can't do laundry. He's been forbidden. He fails to understand the need to seperate clothes. He thinks it efficient to throw them all in at the same time. UGH.

Yep, laundry.  I don't trust him.

And FWIW, DH does the same thing with food on the dishes.

Yep, DH isn't allowed to do laundry here. He think the highest heat will dry everything faster, nevermind nothing fits a barbie after that.

THIS EXACTLY!!!! He also doesn't understand that some things cannot be put in the dryer! He shrunk one of my favorite sweaters about 2 months after we got married. I wanted to kill him!

I banned him from the laundry a couple years ago when LO was a baby.  He noticed I was behind, so he threw load after load into the washer, then dryer, then plunked them all into laundry baskets and left like 6 loads of clean laundry piled on top of each other.  It was a day before I noticed, and everything was smushed and wrinkled beyond recognition.  He didn't understand why I wasn't beside myself with glee that he helped out.
