putting things away after grocery shopping

[Anonymous]

The kids and I put everything away. DH doesn’t put things in the right place, and if I forget that he put stuff away, I will just assume that we are out.

When anyone gets home from the grocery store, everyone who is home in the house including kids helps out taking the groceries in and putting them away.

It depends. Walmart has a delivery service that will put it away. Cost is nominal. Never use it but their delivery is great.

my H is retired. He puts things away. He asked me to help him put things away when he first started shopping after retirement, but now I'm "too busy" or "on a work call" and he puts the groceries away too. He is super comfortable letting me do 75% of the household chores although I work a 9 hour day and he does not work, so this is my solution. Wish I could say, "hey, I already do the laundry and bills plus work for pay 45 hours a week, don't you think I do enough?" but he would be offended by that truth. When they are lazy and aren't embarrassed that you know that, passive aggression is the only way to go.

I bring everything in from the car while she starts putting stuff away. Then I help.

Or is this a task that is shared?

Wait, does your DH just come into the kitchen, put the bags on the counter, and walk away?

That's.....strange

I do the shopping and since I do most of the cooking I like to put things away so I know where they are when I need them. But I text when I'm leaving the store and ask either DH or DD to be ready to help me get the bags inside. Then as we do that, DH or DD usually puts the refrigerated goods into the fridge.

I feel for the PP earlier in the thread who said her DH could "damn well" put things away since she does so much. What anger over trivial chores. I admit I do get peeved at dishes piling up (that's another recent thread here....) but wouldn't let it fester into resentment. And we work it out. If I wanted DH or DD to do put all the groceries away, I'd tell them so. Done.

Whoever bought it and brought it home should bring it in and put it away.

If someone comes home with groceries and the other person isn’t home or is engaged in some other useful activity, then the person puts the groceries away themselves.

This logic holds for spouses, kids, and anyone else who is staying at the home.

Exactly.

Really, like they open your cabinets & fridge?. Go to the bathrooms with toilet paper?

You again, just because someone asks doesn't mean it's bean counting.

Grow up.

You are dumb. The grocery bags are literally in my hand, why should I go looking for someone else to put it all away?

Do people really track or pay attention to this?
