Her Husband Complained About The Messy Countertop During A Busy Morning, So She Cleaned It Right Away Including His Coffee And Bread
by Heide Lazaro
Being a full-time homeschooling mom with 2 part-time jobs and a business is not a joke!
And having a husband who couldn’t help out in the house doesn’t make it any easier.
In this story, this woman’s husband was complaining about the clutter in the kitchen and his missing shirt.
So, when told to clean up the mess, she complied right away!
Check out the full story below!
Tell me to clear the counter tops? Deal.
I’m a SAHM. Well, mostly.
I work 8 hours a week, 4 hours 2x/week.
I homeschool our children, run a podcast, and have a baking business. (Baking brings in 20% of our income, and my 8 hours/week brings in 15% of it.)
I didn’t want to leave my full-time job, but my husband insisted for our family.
OP makes sure to keep the house in order.
Our house is swept every night, food put away, dishes in the dishwasher, and laundry in the washing machine started.
Laundry is moved to the dryer in the mornings, then immediately put away.
I can’t stand clutter.
Her husband doesn’t do much house chores.
My husband works from home, but rarely contributes to anything household-wise, as that’s “my job.”
I love and adore my kids, and very rarely ask for his help anyway.
I prefer to just keep peace, and not make an issue if it’s working.
He complained about some jelly on the countertop.
Now to the problem.
Yesterday, I had a busy morning of making breakfast for my kids before running out of the house to work.
I didn’t get to move the laundry to the dryer before running out.
My husband was angry when I got home because he stuck his hand in jelly on the countertop. (Jelly was from the toast.)
He told her to clean the messy countertop.
He was also mad he couldn’t find the polo he wanted to wear today (he has dozens of them hung in his closet, but the one he wanted to wear was in the dryer).
He told me I needed to clear the countertops and make sure there’s nothing left on them.
Then he went into his office.
And so she did…
I looked at the countertop, and the only things on it, aside from jelly globs and sugar, was my reusable Aldi bags, his coffee cup (full), and the panini I made him for lunch.
I put the Aldi bags away, poured his coffee out, washed and put away his cup, ate the panini, washed and put away the plate, and cleaned the countertops.
But when he came back for his coffee and bread, they were not there anymore!
Imagine his face when he walked back in twenty minutes later to get his coffee and panini, and there wasn’t anything there.
I said to him, “What’s the matter? You told me to clear the countertop.”
Then, I went outside for a walk with my youngest two kids.
Haha! Whose side are you on? Let’s hear it from these Reddit users.
This user basically summarized what’s happening inside the household.
People are asking why the husband isn’t taking responsibility for the housework.
This comment is short but straightforward.
OP gets good recognition over here.
Finally, this one thinks there’s some form of domestic abuse going on.
Why can’t he just wash his sticky hand without being a jerk about it?
