dishwasher?
Today’s question is: Why does PW always have to tell me when he empties the dishwasher?
Background: I’m sure this is one of those universal things. Kinda like the lingerie. I was reading a friend’s site the other day and she made mention of her husband emptying the dishwasher and not telling her about it. I laughed out loud because I never realized that PW wasn’t the only man on the planet that says: “I emptied the dishwasher for you today”, like I own the freaking dishes or something. Like they are mine.
How annoying do you think it would be if I informed him of every single thing I did for him?
“I took the garbage out to the garage for you today”
“I washed all your dirty undies today”
“I replaced 5 light bulbs for you today”
“I filled the coffee maker, that makes the perfect cup of coffee every time, for you today”
Hmmmm, come to think of it, he thinks many of these things are my job, so it doesn’t sound the same coming from me as it does from him.
Sometimes I just wish he could empty the dishwasher and not tell me about it. Like for once if he could just do it because he just might think it’s part of the job, not part of my job.
I’m at a water park with the kids. PW had to leave on a business trip to Florida today so he didn’t come with us. I spoke to him before the limo picked him up to bring him to the airport and his last words were: (no joke)
“I emptied the dishwasher for you today”
I don’t even think the kids and I had much to do with those dishes, yet he emptied that baby for me. (sigh)
Am I alone? Do my male readers tell this to their significant others? Do my female readers get the same thing? I’m really curious.
Always…without fail. I think mine is looking for that “Oh, THANK YOU, honey! How could I POSSIBLY get by without ALL YOUR HELP?!” (Which is not fair because mine does all the laundry…but still…).

That is so funny!
I’m trying to think…Ronnie doesn’t *tell me* he’s emptying the dishwasher, but I do notice that he jumps to do the unloading, trash removal, giving Charlie his bath, or whatever else he *suddenly is able to see needs to be done* on nights he wants nookie. *eyeroll*

ha, I think pw does that helping me thing too when he wants a little….it’s that or he pours me a big old glass of wine, LMAO.
Pw is definitely not looking for praise, not him at all.
