A common conversation in our house revolves around the kitchen. Eric is in charge of kitchen duty after dinner, but no matter what he does, he should've done it the way I would. He is to load the dishwasher just so, so that the little, light items are wedged in and don't end up upside down filled with dirty dish water. He's also supposed to leave the water running, so that he doesn't waste time turning the water on and off, though he says it wastes water. He's supposed to put the dishes away exactly where they go, instead of in random places usually in the highest place in the cupboard, so that when I finally find the item that I'm looking for, I can't reach it. Also, dirty dishes, shouldn't be left in the sink, because then I can't use the sink to rinse vegetables or pasta, they should be rinsed and placed on the counter to the right of the sink, stacked up nicely. And don't even try to cook in the kitchen, if you aren't going to do things the way I would, I will let my opinion be known. The ironic part is that Eric is in charge of keeping the kitchen clean, I will help occasionally, be he does the bulk of the work. Are other women like this in the kitchen? or is it because I went to culinary school, and the kitchen is where I feel most comfortable?

Yeah, women are pretty funny about their kitchens. Julee does a good job of letting Tony help in the kitchen. I can't even imagine such a thing. When I had meningitis and was in the hospital 12 days, your dad didn't do any dishes. I had to come home and do 2 weeks of dishes. He is an excellent stacker when he wants to be though.
It is the opposite in our house, well, since I started working 10 years ago. Since Clyde did most of the cooking and kitchen cleaning. I would drive him crazy if I filled the dishwasher or how I cooked something. Now that I have my new kitchen, I am back at the helm and trying to relearn how to cook and clean that room.
I've learned to be thankful that the kids even help in the kitchen now. Back when it was just me cooking and washing I could've lost my mind :) Now I just teach them to run the dishwasher on Pots & Pans that'll scrub off what they don't.
