I live in a house where the rule is - whoever cooks gets out of the cleaning up. The problem is though - if I cook - I have a sink ful of hot water and I wash up as I go. I get rid of any rubbish (peelings, empty cans, packets etc. etc), sweep the floor and wipe down the stove top and benches - usually before I serve dinner. The kitchen is left clean and tidy with only one or two pots to wash - which are left soaking in the sink and the dishwasher to load. Excuse me for a sec while I just polish my halo......!!!Unfortunately - the other cook in my house is a sloppy cook. It means that on the nights I cook - he gets to enjoy a good meal and hardly any cleaning up. If he cooks - he uses every single spoon, kitchen implement, pot, knife etc. in the kitchen. Piles of vegetable peels are left all over the bench, along with packets, spice jars, sauce bottles, cannisters, etc. etc. The stove top is always filthy - as are the benches...splattered in grease and sauce. I know many people who cook like this - including my sister. Is it reasonable to change the rule to whoever cooks - also cleans up??? How can I enjoy my meal when he cooks - when I know there is a mountain of mess to clean up when I'm finished eating???

Kimberly...we sound like we could be twins....lol. It irritates me no end when someone else cleans my kitchen (I do almost all the cooking) and they put stuff away in the wrong spot. It takes me twice as long to cook anything because I have to hunt everything down in the kitchen. As for your roommate...Leave him a huge mess a few times and maybe they will get the picture. If they say anything tell them that you are implementing a new rule that the cooks clean up their own mess in the kitchen as they cook and put dishes in the sink, and the other person loads the dishwasher.

I look at it this way.... I figure if they mess up the kitchen so greatly that chances are they won't clean up to my standards. I too also clean as I cook. But when Hubby cooks everything is used. I would rather clean up myself to insure everything is clean and put up were it is supposed to go. Good luck to you and yours. And happy cooking!!!!
