[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some posts are excusing this type of behavior as DW having too high of standards but feeding your child and then cleaning the dishes or putting them in the dishwasher is hardly an unrealistically difficult request. It’s one thing if you want the house vacuumed and baseboards cleaned every day but adults really should realize that not letting dishes pile up all day is a fairly low bar.  [/quote]

I agree, but I’m a wife that is way too tired to load the dishwasher after dinner so it gets done the next morning. If my husband were pissed about that, he would be welcome to load them at night.

I think part of the problem on these types of posts is that there are a range of husbands being described and a range of wives. Ultimately, we have a societal problem, but it then plays out for each of us.

Some of the women in this post likely care too much about too many things on the home front. Some of these husbands are total jerks and they don’t deserve to be married. And then, there is a range in between. I spent about 18 months of a 15 year marriage being ticked off at my husband about division of labor. He has ADHD and cannot executive function well. We have now hit a balance where he does more of the physical labor while I handle paperwork and scheduling. But he isn’t letting the dishes pile up until there are roaches — he is actually cleaner than me and cleans up after me.[/quote]
