No. The dish cloth should NOT be used to wipe something off the floor. Although maybe I should just be happy that you are in fact wiping something up that has been spilt!?!

DD2 - No sweetheart. You do not need a clean pair of knickers after you get out of bed in the morning, then after you get dressed for the day, then after you go and do a wee, the after you have a swim and get dressed again, then after you do another wee. You can have clean knickers when you've had a bath/shower each day and that's probably enough. Please.

DH - it really doesn't matter how many times you tell me that I don't need to iron your shirts and question if I really need to iron the girls' clothes. The answer will always be yes. I don't like my family looking like street urchins. Maybe you could lessen the load on me by doing something like wash a dish or empty the dishwasher. Also, please don't ask me if there is anything you can do when the kids have crap everywhere, the dishwasher needs to be emptied, there are dishes to be handwashed, the bins are overflowing and the dog needs feeding. Just use that genius IQ of yours and open your #*&)@#@*&&%()%#(* eyes!! Thank you.
