Cleaning the kitchen

is an enormously long chore. Add in husband= 2 times as long.

Anybody else just wish they would go off and not try to help?

LOL Usually I'm the one that's told to get out from underfoot!

But yeah... I hate it when people are overly-helpful. (Something I get a lot, unfortunately. Apparently wheelchair==helpless)

No hubby-in-kitchen problem for me. Ever since he failed to look at which burner knob corresponded with what burner and roasted one of my pretty dark green burner covers, he touches only the fridge and nuker.

Which led to some degree of amusement for me yesterday when he was wandering about mid-kitchen carrying something...and I discovered he didn't know that I keep the kitchen trashcan under the sink! (And have done so since we moved into an apartment two years ago.)

My husband's idea of helping was moving stuff from the counter to the table. And back again. That's not putting stuff away.

at least he knows what the kitchen is! my boyfriend didnt keep basics like milk or tea in the house till I arrived on the scene im pretty sure to him the kitchen is the room with the big white box where the beer is kept

He's 6'4", and doesn't understand why I don't WANT the spices that I use on the top shelf. He finally got the hint when I was washing dishes and he was "organizing" and he said he was putting the garlic powder on the top shelf to "get it out of the way".... I happened to have a chopping knife (6 in. blade) in my hand. I turned and smiled, and said, "Go ahead...I'll just move it anyway..While fantasizing about having a kitchen that is left the hell ALONE after I finally get it organized for ME. But you go ahead...It's ALL ABOUT YOU having the kitchen that I cook in AND clean set up the way YOU want it!" Then turned and calmly continued washing the dishes.
He said something in my eyes told him to step AWAY from the cabinets and mind his own business.
I think I scared him. LOL

The kitchen is my wife's. I only use it when she allows me too.

Come to think of it, most of the house is my wife's, as well as the garage, and she just lets me use it. Sometimes.

Your avatar fits with this post perfectly. LOL

Nobody knows, the trouble I've seen.....

Misandry is hilarious!

I am a good cook but I hate to clean and if someone else is willing to do that for me, I don't care that they put everything in the wrong places. Which they do. My girls are blessed with two men (two out of three isn't bad) who like to cook and who are very good at it AND they don't mind cleaning up either.

BTW, I have a steam cleaner for the kitchen now and it really works! Good-bye mop and chemicals.

I'd want to strangle you as well, if you were trying to get me to play musical tables at the restaurant with me. I sat at a table, and he found a table he liked better, so I moved and sat there, and then the table he REALLY wanted opened up.

I just want to sit and eat my damned food!

No jury would convict you.

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading it! LOL

Everyone pretty much stays out of my way when I'm cleaning, 'cuz otherwise I'll give them a job to do! LOL

I have the kitchen to myself. Of course, . . . . I'm single, so that's nothing interesting. I would like to share a kitchen with a loving SO, but like those who have given up on finding another job, I've done that with dating. But there are days I wish I was "getting in the way", or having someone "get in the way" in the kitchen.

being retired like yours truly is. means I gave up working.
