Crafty Mathy Mom Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I thought my dh was the only one who did this. I was out Christmas shopping and he stayed home with the kids. When I got home the kitchen was clean. I was beyond happy. I kept going on and on about how wonderful he was and how nice it was to come home to no dishes in the sink. He was also thanked privately.;) The next morning I needed a pot to cook breakfast and couldn't find one. There were no pots or pans in the kitchen. I tracked them down to a large plastic storage bin outside the back door. I was not amused.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I do all the dishes since dh does all the cooking but we almost lost one of our large frying pans last week. When they are particularly greasy, he'll place them upside down in the garbage can to drain. For some reason, he never took it out and things ended up on top of it. I took out the trash without ever realizing why it was so heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 My husband will wash dishes but not pots too! What on earth? I always thought it was just him. He thankfully has never thrown them outside though :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Seriously! My DH wouldn't put my dishes outside but he will clean the kitchen, load the dishwasher and leave the pots for me. Are pots like Kryptonite to men? Ummm. . .he may not know how. :001_huh: DH does most of the cooking and dishes here. I tackled a messy kitchen the other day and got everything done but the cast iron skillet. I just stared at it wondering how he would want me to clean it. My mother almost tanned my hide one time when I washed her cast iron skillet with soap. It turned out that she only used very hot water and a metal scouring pad, never soap, so that she didn't wash the "seasoning" away. DH's skillet was greasy. I just didn't think I could get it clean without soap. I finally did wash it, with soap, thinking that I would just wipe it down with oil afterwards if it looked like it needed it. But I did ALMOST just leave it for him for later. Also, while not outside, I have been known to pop dirty pots and skillets into the oven when unexpected visitors arrived.

Desert Rat Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I agree. He may not know how. No excuse and he's lucky he didn't get beaned upside the head with one of those dirty pots for putting them outside. (I mean seriously!?) When dh and I first got together, I went to work and asked him to do a couple loads of laundry while I was gone. He said okay. I returned from work, no finished laundry. Oookkkaayyy. The next time it happened I asked him what was up. He said his momma always did his laundry and he didn't know how. Ha! I'll give him some slack because he was only 19. So, we had Laundry 101 that day. Now he does laundry like a pro and even puts aside and "I don't know pile" for me to deal with, like camisoles, etc. I'd rather him skip them than wreck them! So, OP, maybe you have to have a Pots and Pans 101 class for hubby. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I hate washing pots and pans. Sometimes I leave them... :blushing: They're all big and yucky and you have to scrub them and soak them... I didn't know putting them outside was an option, though. Perhaps I should try that? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll wash pots and pans without batting an eye, but load the dishwasher? ...Well, I'm just getting carried away if I think he's going to do that :lol:. That's ok with me though, since I'm kind of particular about the way my dishwasher is loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 My DH also seems to have an aversion to washing pots and pans. He tries to put them all in the dishwasher (about half of them aren't supposed to go in) and then wonders why they don't clean properly. Bless.

plansrme Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Did you ever consider this is all your fault for expecting him to do something he doesn't feel like doing? Husbands everywhere are going, "Exactly!" Mine will wash pots but would not wipe down a counter if a pig had been slaughtered on it. Wiping counters is right up there with stocking the bathrooms with toilet paper. After 11 years in this house, I'll bet he could not tell you where we ("I") keep the stash of toilet paper.

The Girls' Mom Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Mine is usually helpful by filling nasty pots/pans/mixing bowls with water and leaving them in the sink. So then, I have pans that are not only dirty, but also full of cold slimy water that I cannot see through :glare: But I love him...and he cooks tasty things :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Are pots like Kryptonite to men? Interesting that so many dh's avoid pots and pans. Mine actually volunteers to wash them for me. I do the rest of the dishes and he does the pots and pans. Not every time, but frequently. He's definitely a keeper. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I use iron pots and pans; having wrecked some that I've had longer than I've had him around, we agreed that he'd not touch them or even look in their direction LOL.

In fairness, DH does have other fabulous attributes. Everyone has a weakness, I guess. DH could start any number of threads about stuff I just don't do. :tongue_smilie: In the 8 days that he's been back from his last deployment, he has dusted the living room 2x (which is probably about how many times I did it the entire year he was gone). :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 After ruining two calphalon pans, dh is very careful about pots and pans. Both ds will leave the kitchen spotless except for the pots and pans. They needed to "soak"; in other words, we left them for you guys.

MyLittleBears Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 What about this. Using every single piece of silverware before we even get around to dinner. I'm often looking around for spoons or forks for dinner and all of them are dirty. This only seems to happen when he is home.:001_huh: And I love and dread his cooking dinner.... he uses every single pot, pan, dish, bowl,colander, etc... in the house. I appreciate the cooking but it's as if he's artist creating a masterpiece and MUST make a mess.:lol: FWIW his cooking is pretty great!

********* Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ok ladies, don't throw any tomatoes, ok? I just wanna add a wee bit of perspective here. Some dh's don't do dishes at all. None. Ever. As in, literally never ever at all ever not any of them. Some of them don't even know where the dish soap is kept. Or cooking. None. At all. Even their own food. Ever. At least I HEAR there are husbands like that. ;) So, you know, try to remember that when he does all the other dishes and leaves the pots for you. Instead of thinking "Really?! He couldn't have done the pots too?", maybe try to think "Hey, at least I don't have to do ALL the dishes tonight!" :D (Ducking and running now. :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarreymere Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We don't have a dishwasher, and my Dh is the kind of guy who will wash dishes now and then. NOT when I am deathly ill and would really appreciate it, however. Only when he feels like it. DH would never, ever put the pots and pans outside. He KNOWS that would really piss me off, and that said pots and pans would end up in the trash. Which means that come dinner time there would be a very hungry, bewildered man wondering why there was nothing cooking in the kitchen. Of course, Dh was there when I threw every plate, bowl, and cup we owned out the back door to smash on the deck when I got pissed about the then teen-aged girls (four of 'em) never loading them in the dishwasher that we DID have at that time. Dh isn't a stupid man.....:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are pots like Kryptonite to men? I wish hubby would leave the pots alone. I can clean up an entire kitchen and sweep the floor in the time it takes him to polish the pans I'd've shoved in the DW in the first 30 seconds.
