This is some bullshit. Your husband’s apparent lack of time management is not your daughter’s responsibility. If he has an urgent meeting, then he should plan his time better and be more mindful of the mess he’s making so that there is less to clean. However:
>Daughter said that if he thinks it could be done so quickly, why didn’t he do it?
Clearly you daughter has your husband’s number. I personally strongly suspect this has everything to do with what he thinks she *should* be doing for him as opposed to genuinely having no time to clean up after himself. His attitude absolutely reeks of sexism and you were right to tell him to grow up.
Just out of interest, how did he react to the plan of your daughter coming home to study for finals?”
