I got help with the laundry today.
My dh decided to check in on my clothes washing. Without telling me he changed the setting on the washer to hot water and the dryer from normal to heavy duty. Why do men think they know more than us about everything? I have now washed and dried a load of my sweat pants on hot and heavy duty. I'll have to squeeze into them until they stretch back out. He then told me he would carry the clothes upstairs. He packed the clothes into the small laundry container I use !! I don't iron so you know what I have now.
Sometimes he will rearrange the dishes in the dishwasher too.
He is very helpful most of the time , for real. But today hasn't been his day.
Do you get help from your husband?

I don'te get help, I get suggestions. I then politely suggest he take his ideas out of my area.

He is usually smart enough to go away when I am doing stuff. However I got "help" yesterday while I was driving. He let me know how to drive in snow, like I was some 15 y/o new driver from Florida. While we were taking him to work one of the kids pipes up and says look out mom a dog at the side of the road. I said yeah I see the dog, this is not my first rodeo,as I cut my eyes at DH. He said mom doesn't need a back seat driver. The other kid then pipes up well you're doing it(LOVE DD) and he says I'm not in the back seat. Grrrr He's lucky I didn't call him and say honey it's snowing again and I can't drive the truck to come pick you up. lol

"Urban dictionary today: Mansplain
- to delighting in condescending, inaccurate explanations delivered with rock solid confidence of rightness and that slimy certainty that of course he is right, because he is the man in this conversation.

It's all Mansplainin'

My husband washes the dishes and I always check after him to make sure the dishes are clean (mostly glasses & cups) because they often are not. Regardless, I always appreciate that help because I HATE to do dishes. What annoys me most about him and putting them away is that he will invariably put things away in the wrong place. We've lived here over 14 years and most of that time, the dishes have been where they are now. But if that's the worst thing I can say about him...
He also vacuums when I ask or if I leave the vacuum cleaner in the LR. I do that to get MYSELF going but if he want s to help on his own (which he occasionally does) I'll let him!

Mine says he can't help unload the dishwasher because he doesn't know where anything goes. Funny, he always seems to know where to get a glass or a plate.

Until recently DH thought that all the laundry needed to be done with HOT water, because it's listed on the Washer as HEAVY, so he thought it all needed HEAVY. He helps with the laundry, but rarely folds it or puts it away., when he does fold it., he fold the shirts all crazy like. He also over-drys everything, so it comes out wrinkled.
And I also have the problem with when he puts the dishes away., I have the hardest time finding things when he puts stuff away.
But I love that he tries to help. He's so cute.

My husband "helps." If he does dishes, he places the pots and pans on the stove, instead of the in the cabinet. Becasue, we will use them at the next meal.
If he is not sure where something goes... it sits on the counter. The plates (I own several sets) are never matched up like they were when he used them!!! It is not hard to tell the square green plate does not sit on the clear round, etc.
Laundry... UGH. He sorts as follows: This hamper is full: one load!
Everything together, in cold, casual setting. Everything gets tossed into the dryer.
I am on bedrest, so I try to tell him what I normally do: sort by color, and some things do not get washed... and a handful of sweaters are never placed in the dryer!
Nope.
But he does vacuum really well. I love him, anyway
So hard, not to facepalm some people

Oh, I get help... in the form of "but that's not how my mom did it..." Well, if you want it done how your mom does it, go live w/ your mom!
Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

My dh now helps with laundry and dishes. He is learning how to run the washer and dryer (they are touch screen and have lots of choices) but he folds and puts away. Plus he will load and unload dishwasher and knows where they all go. He will help by making dinner some nights. I am going to be working during the day and dh will be here with the baby all day. So he will do all the baby things also After 13 years he is finally learning that I do not have to do it all!
My mom...gone but not forgotten
