My wife doesn't do this ..(She's been trained ...(warned) )
My sister does ..
But I've seen other women indiscriminantly tossing stuff ..I just made the assumption it was from them doing so many dishes ....if it doesn't fit in the garbage disposal than it goes in the trash .
How does one get “A womans definition of cleaning…throw it away” ?
3 easy steps!
1. Some people’s definition of cleaning…throw it away.
2. Guys, on average, seem less concerned about the neatness or appearance of their home. As such, between them and their wife (, girlfriend, mother) the later tends to spend more time cleaning.
3. 1+2= “A womans definition of cleaning…throw it away” :bigsmile:
Seems a bit unfriendly for our female members. We have at least 3, maybe more.
I feel like I’m out of step here but I am much more concerned with cleaning/tidying than my wife,who has much better things to do with her time and who throws nothing away but rather puts everything with which she is unfamiliar into various plastic boxes, which are then produced at a later date for the keep?/toss? question.It’s actually not a bad system and forces me (I horde stuff like a squirrel with it’s nuts) to think what I really need to keep. Sorry about this guys!
That sounds like a good system, KenCam! I think where we go wrong is not realising something was useful to the other and just assuming it’s rubbish/junk and can be thrown away.
Just the opposite. We have tons of stuff that is either broken/defective/not needed/useless/decayed and somehow it all gets stored away.
Every now and then I’ll organize a spring-cleaning and remove (well… at least half) of all that useless junk
(unfortunately, to create space for more useless junk)
Yeah… you know how it is… You put something in a cardboard box and months later open it to find it’s gone to rot.
In our hot, humid (65-90%) climate that’s what happens usually.
