Today, he started to clean the main bathroom, just before I got home from work. Fair enough. Upon arriving home, he wanted me to inspect the job he had done. Needless to say he didn't realize that when you scrubbed the tub, you need to wash the tile too. He missed some spots in the tub, you could clearly see where he had scrubbed and what he missed. Now, I think it is absolutely awesome that he wants to help, but really I end up doing it myself anyway. And That's just what I did. I got down on my knees and started scrubbing.
When we fold laundry, not so much the clothing but the towels, I have re-fold what he has done. It' isn't that I don't like his folding, he just doesn't fold it neatly. Trust me, I've showed him a few times.
Dwayne is great at being the first one to clean the kitchen after a meal. Unfortunately he forgets that the counter, cupboards and table need to be wiped down,not to mention the floor being swept.
I'm kind of use to it by now. I know that I will probably have to touch up something or redo it completely when he is not looking. The other day Dw removed the soggy wet mat from the front door and hung it to dry in the basement, (perfect, I was tired of my socks getting wet every time I went down to the door) but he replaced it with one of my relatively good towels. Well at least I didn't have to refold it.
I know he means well. I guess I have some more training to do.
Awww - at least the thought is there - maybe it's not so much about training, but not letting you're standards dictate others. Maybe it's okay to miss a tile or two in the shower until the next time, so that the towels are a little less neatly folded while sqirreled away in the linen closet. Time is precious and be thankful that its one else thing for you to do... even if it's not the way you'd do it.
