OK so mine will
- enter kitchen, which is rather full of half-done stuff and the work tops covered in used equipment, teacups etc.
- pick up one item from the middle of the mess
- wash it in the water in the sink (greasy and cold)
- dry it on the towel
- replace it among the mess on the worktop
Whilst I am ashamed that my kitchen even got into such a state, I did actually witness the above scenario.
The usual situation however, is though-
- I tidy the kitchen, placing anything that needs washing by hand to the left of the sink
- I leave it like that, saving the washing up till there's a bit more to do.
DH will then wash up half of the items stacked (I've counted: If there are 6, he'll wash 3) The remainder is then distributed around the worktops.
Other things he only half does: I (once and once only!) asked him to hang out the washing from the machine as it would finish whilst I was at work. It was a load of whites. Next time I washed, it was a load with dark colours. When I took then out of the washing machine, there were still some of the whites in there, which had now gone grey.
Tidying anything away - half of the stuff is still left out.
We have four bins for separate types of rubbish. He will only ever empty 2 of them at a time, although I have demonstrated that with my tiny hands I can carry all four bags at once!
