My DH and his dad participate in 4 or 5 BBQ contests each year. They are in Council Bluffs right now. FIL came to DSM last night. Arrived around 7. We had BLT's (with tomatoes from our garden) and sweet corn. I made enough for FIL and had it ready for him. We was playing with the kids outside after he got here. The dog of course ate the bacon that was left so I fried more. Outside I said something to G to let Grandpa sit down and eat some dinner. No comment that he had eaten so I left it all out thinking he wanted to play with the kids first. I should have been more direct and just asked but thought he would say 'thanks but no thanks'. Even after going in and seeing a plate and food ready for him. Nothing. Then I need to give C a bath and her her ready for bed. I come back downstairs and one of DH's friends that is helping at this contest is standing in our kitchen. It is a mess from dinner, a mess from DH being in the middle of prepping the meat and a mess from the kids dropping various toys on the floor. I start to work on cleaning up, embarrassed with the company standing there and crap everywhere.
At 10: 45p.m. DH decides he needs some clothes washed. I had some towels in the washer so stuck the gloves in to wash with them. FIL said he would put it all in the dryer so we wouldn't have to stay up to switch the stuff over. I show FIL which buttom to push to start the dryer and head upstairs. I just went to start some laundry and the towels that were washed with the gloves were still in the washer. The gloves were the only thing he put in the dryer (and they both forgot to get them out of the dryer this morning). C'mon - isn't it common sense to put everything in - it was a really small load anyway.
I like my FIL but thought he wouldn't have to be told to put EVERYTHING in the dryer!
