Angry I feel so unnappreciated

As some of you might have noticed from some of my posts, I'm not really a homemaker type. Whenever I cook or clean, a disaster usually is the result, such as breaking the washing machine TWICE, or the time I didn't know clorox was bleach.

So now that I have my own house, and am not working that much, I'm doing a lot more cleaning and cooking, but I don't think my bf appreciates it at all. Usually I'll call him at work and ask him what he wants for dinner, and cook it for him. Well one time he just wanted me to microwave some left overs, but I forgot to do it. So when he came home I apologized and his response..."I didn't expect you to anyways".

So today he comes home and is cleaning (HE insists on doing it, even though I tell him I'll do it during the day so he doesn't have to after work, but I might not do it the day he wants too because of whatever I'm doing during that day). Today I did laundry (I know how to do it now!!!) and cleaned up the kitchen. He comes home and was cleaning our end tables, and tells me "You never do it" I was soo upset! He's always making comments like this, but it's complete BS! First he says "I'm just telling you" but when I tell him that bothers me he says "I was joking"..but I really don't think he was. THen I go into the kitchen, and everything I cleaned he messes up! He couldn't even cover up the brownies I made last night, he just left the foil to the side!

Since living in my own house I've improved soo much on cooking and cleaning. And he doesn't recognize it at all! He knew I'm not the type to clean all day and cook, so if it's such a problem I don't know why he even bought a house with me in the first place. I love him and we have a great relationship, but this is bothering me soo much and when I talk to him about it he says "I know you have improved and I'll stop making remarks" but then he doesn't! I think from now on I'm purposely going to be messy, and just say "well you say I don't clean, so I'm not". I don't know what else too do. Usually I walk away and ignore him, but he's not good at catching on when I do that. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get him to stop acting like this? This is really getting to me.

I needed to vent! Thanks ladies
