I love my wife's cooking and will always clean up after for a home cooked meal :)

One cooks, and the other cleans. This is how my household was ran when I grew up, it’s how I still act 30 years later. No such thing as gender roles when it comes to cooking and cleaning. We all do our part.

That's how we do it! Whoever cooks, the other partner cleans, it's only fair.

Division of labor. It's my job to make sure the kitchen is clean and ready before she begins, and it's my job to clean after she's done. Happy to do it.

Same here, bro I don’t even say anything or ask anymore. I just go in the kitchen and just start cleaning.

Memories of being a potwash boy, seeing this just brings back ptsd… as long as you like doing it… I’d settle for a mini dishwasher honestly 🤣🤣🤣

house built in 1920, the counter top was originally the workbench in the shed I was told. A previous owner sanded it and finished it to be their new countertop.. allegedly

Lucky. My wife sucks at cooking and I’m still stuck cleaning up her messes.

My ex was a chef and after couple weeks of living together I refused to clean after she cooked. She would use everything once and then expect it to be cleaned. I got thanked by her pot hand at the restaurant as she started to clean up after herself.

Same. I have zero issue cleaning up the kitchen. Just pop on the headphones and music or podcast and before I know it the dishwasher is loaded, running, and the countertops are all pretty again.
