Ahh, Women...

[rah]

I'll preface this one with, I'm not complaining about this one, but I still find it amusing.

When My daughter was 2, I used to drop her off at day care and my wife would pick her up.

My job moved locations and it became too difficult to drop her off. I agreed that if she did it, I would do the dishes to make up for it. We used to have the rule, whoever cooked the other did the dishes, and we split the cooking detail close to 50 50.

My daughter started going to school, and my wife did most of the schlepping and I continued to do the dishes.

Fine so far.

My daughter is now almost 17, has her own car and like most 17 year olds, tries to avoid her parents whenever possible.

I still do the dishes. Tradition.

See, that's a good deal.

Still doing the dishes?

In our house the rule is switched; you cook, you do the dishes. However, when we had the dishwasher, I would still do them because she took too long. I could get them done in half the time she could. I figure if you are better at something than you should do it. I.e. I am in charge of what goes into and comes out of the pets, except for Vet related stuff where she is a pro - even gets calls from actual vets asking her for advice.

After I redo the bathroom I am redoing the kitchen and a dishwasher is definitly on the list.

My girlfriend does at least have a sense of humour; here's a website she linked me to:

I'm not sure about the fully grown-up part.

Her: are you doing the dishes.
Me: I'll do them in a minute.
Her: now.
Me: I'll do them now.

I appear to be learning

I had a really weird one a while ago with a girl I had invited to my flat:

Me: I'm too lazy to do the dishes right now.
Her: I'll do them!
Me: You don't have to.
Her: I'll do them anyway.
Me: Really, you don't have to. I'll do them later.
Her: No, I'll do them.
Me: No, you won't, because I won't let you.
Her: Er, OK.

So, some hobby psychologist here, tell me WTF was going on there ...

You didn't want her to paw you with dishpan hands...

Lucky rah. She's so considerate she knew you'd be lost if she doesn't let you do the dishes any more.

Oh oh I have one. After everything is done I like to put the pots and pans in the sink bottom up to dry a little bit before I put them away. He wants me to dry them and put them away right now. I mean nobody is going to use the kitchen sinks anymore ok? What's wrong with leaving them there a little bit? It's not like I won't clean them away later. "Well I always have to put them away myself." Yeah but that's because you couldn't wait.

I put down a towel on the counter and lay the pots and pans on them...

See? They complain when the girl doesn't do dishes. And then they complains when the girl wants to do dishes. Is there any time when they will not complain about women?

That's rhetorical, right?

Oh that's right, I think they don't complaint about women when they are watching sports. That's about it I think.
