[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else's husband do this thing, where you clean up 99%, and then he swoops in to do some simple, easy, 60 second task to "help" you.

EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, after I cook and feed the kids, I clean up everything in the kitchen. We have 3 kids. There are school papers, food, dishes, pans, toys, and other kid randomness everywhere by that time. When it gets to the point that the kitchen is spotless and the counter just needs to be wiped down, he magically *appears* to ask if I need any help and wipes off 1/3 of the counter space. Or he'll put 2 cups in the dishwasher. Or put a box of cereal in the pantry.

It pisses me off. I'd rather he not even help at that point. I don't know if it's purposeful and he wants to make sure he gets "credit" for helping me clean up, or he's just that clueless and engrossed in whatever he was doing and didn't realize I was cleaning up until I was basically done. It's gotten to the point that when he comes into the kitchen to offer his help, I'm like "No, that's okay, I got it, I'm almost done" but he insists on doing his 60 seconds of cleaning that truly isn't that helpful. And then he will later bring up how he tries to make my life easier by helping me clean up.[/quote]
