Wipe the stovetop as well? Can I quote you on that
one? <vbg>

We got a shiny new gas stove a few months ago, as
that's what Andy wanted. I should have seen this
coming. Now, of course, I can't just *wipe* the
stovetop, it must be taken apart and all parts
cleaned. Has he ever cleaned his nice, new stove? Of
course not. 

Btw, the dishes thing is my big one because Andy has
one habit when doing them that annoys me to no end.
I've mentioned it to him, but that didn't seem to get
through. When he has an order for a cake, he will wash
up after he bakes. However, if there are any other
dirty dishes in the kitchen he leaves them for me.
I've seen him remove a couple of plates and glasses
from the sink so he has room to wash his baking stuff,
then put them back in the sink when he's done and just
leave them there. Hello? 

Sheryll, who would leave all the dirty dishes for the
teenager, if she were ever home :)
