My O/H has only ONE job per week and that's taking out the rubbish for the binman. You have never heard such a racket at 6.00 am every Wednesday, all the house/garden lights on, banging and crashing, front door wide open, back gate crashing about and the crowning thing, the dog follows him out and he is "whispering" very loudly at it to mind the road.
The last three months he has had a bad leg, so I do it, quietly shut the dog in the back garden and then carry out the rubbish and put in in the drive. Problem solved.
When I am cooking he will keep coming into the kitchen, "did you call me?", is it ready yet? what are you cooking? It drives me insane. Of course, if he makes a cup of tea he keeps asking if my tea is alright, and if he makes a sandwich you would think he has just catered for thousands! Never see him in the kitchen when there is clearing up to do, even washing the breakfast things seems to be beyond him.
Andy, your wife is just so lucky, I would love a home cooked meal, cooked by someone else!
