Wanna play, did I overreact?

[Deleted]

Dirty dishes in the sink/shmutz all over the counter are big pet peeves to me, especially when I JUST cleaned the damn kitchen.


NOT BITCHY! /gavel

[pantsparty]

YES, I would be irritated. There is nothing like a freshly cleaned home. Good thing he cleaned it up!

[Jermys]

Yeah, that was no overreaction. That was justifiable. An overreaction would be choking him out.

[shostakovich]

This would irritate me to no end. Also, housekeeper day should forever more be let's-order-a-pizza day.

[ralphlauren]

I would be pissed. This shit drives me nuts

[lilafowler]

I wouldn't have texted him-I would gone where he was and yelled at him to clean the fucking mess up. He always does this and it drives me crazy-so this is a sore spot for me.

[sewpinkgal]

Completely rational reaction.

FWIW, my ILs specifically do take out for dinner on housekeeper days. MIL is like, they just cleaned my kitchen, hell if I'm turning around and dirtying it up again 2 hours later. LOL

[emsumm]

I get seriously pissed when H does this. Or, more often, my MIL when she watches the girls. That's worse, because I just have to keep quiet as she's doing me a favor.

[walterismydog]

I would be totally pissed.

I wouldn't care. But our housekeeper comes a lot, so it is not a special day or anything. I can't always be mad if he leaves crumbs.

Ummm, plus . . . I'm the slob in our house who leaves crumbs. And I'd be mad if DH reacted that way.

[isabel]

Um, that would have been my reaction after cleaning the kitchen myself. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been after paying someone to come in and clean it. Seriously, my DH is terrible about this. It makes me want to pull my hair out. Definitely not an overreaction.

[mrsjuleshs]

I would be livid too.  That pisses me off more than just about anything else.  If I have cleaned the house, at least clean up after yourself.

[cheeseandcrackers]

Oh yeah, i'd be all over his ass.

[ering1115]

You were much nicer than I would have been.

We cannot have a house cleaner because H refuses to pick his crap up off of the floor. I will not be paying someone to clean up specifically after him. I will pay someone to do the heavy cleaning. It is a major point of contention in my life.

[thebamker]

not cool.

[Waffles]

That would piss me off & I'd definitely tell him to clean it up fast.

[julez]

Not bitchy. Or justifiably bitchy? This is one of H's and my biggest disagreements. I clean the kitchen, he makes a giant mess and doesn't clean it up. Piiiiiiiiissed.

Do other people text their husbands when you're both in the house? Is this a thing?

I've done it when I'm being lazy and don't feel like going up the stairs.  Or down the hall.  Usually DH yells back "seriously? a text?" but then he texts back because he doesn't feel like moving either



You did not overreact.  Even my DH on housekeeper day is "don't mess anything up!" 

[Deleted]

Yes I'd be ragey. 

I'd say maybe don't have kids though because guaranteed mine always do this on housekeeper day. It's like they have a censor for this kind of thing. SO irritating

[Deleted]

It would piss me off, but I'm pretty anal when it comes to cleaning.

[agnes]

It would piss me off and I'm not anal when it comes to cleaning.

[sparkythelawyer]

My mom would lose her mind if we missed up the house on "cleaning lady day." I learned not to be home on those days :-)

its my phone!

[mamasaurus]

The text was for sure justified. If he left it after that, it would be OK to go nuclear.
