[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teenage boys do this. My husband knows better. [/quote]

My DS is way to young to do this yet, but DW is the WORST about pulling shit out, and just leaving everything sitting out for someone else to clean up.  I'm not talking about dishes in the sink - I'd be very grateful if that was the extent of it - I'm talking about food, knives, cutting boards, dishes...she'll leave the peanut butter sitting open on the counter, and wander off...EVERYTHING...including stuff that spoils easily and quickly.  She will immediately occupy every single inch of exposed counter, and dog forbid I'm clearing space to start, say, cooking dinner, if she doesn't immediately (and obliviously) take the space I just cleared for myself, the second I turn my back to get something.

My MIL is one of those OCD SAHMs who will clean up your dishes, cups, whatever, before you are even done with them, so I get that DW grew up with a personal cleaning brigade following her around; she's now a physician so she's also got a professional ass-wiping brigade following her around too.  I'm not happy about being a personal ass-wiping brigade, but OTOH, I need to use the counter myself sometimes and I hate listening to the complaints about ants in the house (when she is the one feeding them), plus I am a grown man, like a tidy house, and can clean up after myself - I don't think it's too much to ask of others.

I know I need to clue her in about how rude this is, but in the moment I'm seeing red, so I hold my tongue.  Not in the moment it feels petty (I feel like it would come across that way).  [/quote]
