By no means am I saying I am a perfect person.  I do make messes that I don't pick up right away.  Lately it's a little worse than in years past, but I am still very annoyed my boyfriend and even his younger sister.

So my kitchen is forever a mess.  Earlier last week I washed a lot of the dishes, but not all of them.  And of course some were used again, so they were starting to pile back up, but it wasn't bad enough for me to be annoyed enough to wash them again.  And it took a couple of weeks to get that point before.  So on Friday Miles's sister spent the night to watch the baby while miles and I had a date night.  I made stir fry for us both and I left the pan, with the little bit of left overs that I neglected to put away, on the stove.  Then she came back on Sunday so Miles and I could go to a wedding, and she made herself tuna helper.  Today, Miles made Goulash (macaroni noodles in a tomato sauce with hamburger- he loves the stuff).  After he eats, he decides he's too tired to clean anything up, and asks if I'll put the food away for him, and wash the to-go bowl for him.  I was like, yeah whatever. 

So I enter the kitchen and it's like one of those cleaner infomercials, where everything is in black and white, and the camera zooms in and out of the mess with the psycho music and a scream.  Not a single dish had been washed since I last washed them.  And even worse miles decided to stack everything into the sink- which he knows i hate- and he didn't even do it neatly, just everything in a horrible jumble so there's not even room to start washing anything.  Not only that, anything that still had food in it, like the stir fry wok, still had the food in it, he didn't even bother scraping out the food before he put it in the sink.  We don't have a food disposal, he knows that.

What annoys me, for one, when I'm in someone elses house, I always do their dishes.  I hate doing my own, but I love doing everyone elses.  Two, if I'm going to cook (which is rare) I make sure the kitchen is at least decent, the sink cleaned out, the stove cleaned off, the other dirty dishes stacked neatly.  And three, I don't ask miles to do much around the house.  He's the bread winner, he works hard and what not, but I asked him to clean out the fridge, I ask him to take out the garbage.  Does any of this get done?  No. 

So not only am I taking care of the baby 93% of the time, I'm on house duty 100% of the time, and I do work part-time.

We're not married yet.  And even if we were, I'm not going to tolerate this.  There are going to be changes.  I'm getting very annoyed.
