[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't disagree with him, but I have three kids and a spouse. Everyone thinks one plate/one glass is no big deal. It quickly adds up. The dishwasher is right there and it takes less than 10 seconds, 20 if you need to rinse it.

I'd rather my spouse tell me what is bothering him rather than suppressing the thought and letting resentment build. Talking things out means you do not need to head for divorce. [/quote]

So? In my house we help each other. Sometimes you do an extra plate, sometimes you miss a plate. [/quote]

That’s great you help each other but [b]in some households only one person gets stuck with all the plates[/b]. When that happens it causes issues.  Only OP can know whether that’s her situation.[/quote]

DP. The OP was clear in her post that the housekeeper had just come and the kitchen was clean so it's not like the DH felt that two plates was the final straw because there were heaps of dirty dishes left for him to do. In fact, OP also notes that he does no housework, so I doubt he has some beef with her about his always having to do dishes. His issues are deeper ones, and she is afraid to set him off. That's the real red flag here. [/quote]

Housekeepers (typically) do not do dishes. I'm even more irate the day after the cleaners come and everyone can't seem to take 20 seconds to put their dishes in the dishwasher. SECONDS.

It is disrespectful. I point it out to the offending party each time.[/quote]
