I used to not mind it, but now I hate it. I hate doing all the work while he sits there (or worse, gets in the way) and watches me without helping. I used to ask him nicely to please step out of the way, or to please go to the living room while I finish up and he'd sort of mock-protest about how he just wants to waaaaatch me. Now I get snarly and tell him to stop staring or GTFO.

The thing with the dishes is that we don't have a large kitchen or a lot of dishes/pots. So I need the dishes done and the sink empty BEFORE I start food preparation. My husband has the bad habit of starting them, then wandering off leaving ME with a sink of greasy cold water and some dirty dishes. Or he'll want to wash them when I start doing food prep, which means we're both crowding into the same space, with me trying to find utensils and pots that are still dirty, etc. I had to tell him many, many times that if he hasn't done the dishes by the time I need to get dinner ready, he can't start them. I'LL do them, because I need it done fast and I don't want to constantly trip over someone else trying to do them. I told him that this is fine, I don't mind washing dishes but what I'd really like is for HIM to EMPTY the dish rack and put them away. He can do this early in the morning when I'm asleep, because he wakes up a lot earlier than I do.

What did I get? Years of him never emptying the dish rack and then wanting to start doing dishes at 5:30pm while I'm preparing dinner, then looking all confused when I snap at him and tell him to GTFO. We've fallen into a pattern where I end up doing everything because it pisses me off to have his clumsy, slow "help".
