Helpful husband

7 months ago dh actually vacuumed the bedroom!! I took a photo as proof cos nobody would have believed me otherwise!

My OH considers vacuuming “heavy work” which he happily does. Housework needs to be divided up.

My husband is the housework king (inherited from his mother who wore vacuum cleaners out in 2 years) I gave up when he used to revacuum an area I had recently done. Now I just let him get in with it.

This is quite light hearted as he is usually good at helping - when asked. he does do all the veg preparation as I have arthritis. And he still works almost full time even in his seventies

Yes, my comment was light-hearted too; my husband does help with some jobs. He peels all the veg and he clears up after each meal; he always makes breakfast at weekends (the only time we have a cooked one). But as I am retired and he is still working, I feel it is only fair to wait until he retires before I hand over more of my chores to him!

My husband says that as well Avalon so annoying

Well he was trying to help Tizliz what does he look like wearing the vacuum cleaner

I will be suggesting he goes to work if he doesn’t buck up soon

I was lifting the vacuum up with a bent back

As you've said in your second post (quoted) he is considerate towards you.
I bet he thought he was being helpful!!
Funny though how we can see things differently isnt it?

I don't think my late H knew how a vacuum worked, bless him-----in a 3 storey house at the time.

Iv`e got one like that 25Avalon.
I wont tell you my comeback though.tut tut

On the odd (very odd) occasion my dh does something in the house he likes to announce “I’ve done .......... for you”! Grrrr!

That's awful.
Thank goodness I don't have a husband like that, no.
We are both physical wrecks at the moment, we do a little bit of house work each. And lower our standards!

Oh dear and there’s me thinking ahhh he’s going to take over from you. ? I’d of thrown the vacuum in his direction.

Oh yes, my husband's favourite way of helping me with the housework is to say 'You'll tire yourself out doing that lot, why don't you do some tomorrow?'!!!
