Laundry-Vent

Alright, I appreciate it when my H does the laundry, I really do. But, I think he messes it up just so he doesn't have to do it.

 I went down to the washer to see he put our brand new gray sheets in with the white load. I have no clue why he didn't put the sheets with the black towels, and left the white load alone.

Ugh. I'm mad, so instead of taking it out on him, I'm in my bedroom cooling off. Super Angry

    Ugh, that sucks.  I don't let H do the laundry for just that reason (that, and I'd have to teach him how, and I don't care to).

    Is the white load for sure ruined? :

  • I hate laundry.  Short of walking around naked, you are NEVER done with laundry.

    H doesn't do laundry much.  He will but I prefer to do it since I am picky about what goes in together and how things are folded.  But he would if I wanted him to.  I just don't want him to.  LOL.

    No thank goodness. I have a really nice pair of white capri's in there that I would be pissed if he ruined. We have had this fight before btw. He did it last year with something that was really blue. He put it together with my whites and dang near ruined another pair of white capri's. 

    Maybe this shows me I shouldn't own white capri's...

  • H does a good job with the laundry, but I prefer to do it because if I screw something up or ruin something, I can't take it out on him.

    Can we please do the old husband switch-a-roo? Pretty please!!!

    H won't do any of my laundry other than basic stuff like undies or t-shirts, specifically for this reason. He is scared of effin my shiit up.

    I am going to start forcing it on him... I don't have time for laundry.

  • Usually, we do the laundry together. That way I can still get him to take stuff out of the laundry to fold, or he'll switch the load over. I'll generally flag him down to take out the stuff that can't be dried, or I'll tell him when we're putting it in. We only do laundry once a week, usually on Saturday. It's pretty easy, one load of colors, one of whites, and one of his work clothes (because they're dirty dirty and I don't want my stuff washed with them!)

  • I handle the laundry...I think he knows how to do it, but if it were up to him, he'd cram everything into one load and probably break the washer :)

    I hate laundry.  Short of walking around naked, you are NEVER done with laundry.

    I tell H all the time that we need to have a "naked day" so AT SOME POINT I am actually truly FINISHED with the laundry.  He just laughs, but I'm all sorts of serious.

     Schu- H doesn't touch the laundry.  I, too, think that this highly intelligent man effed it up (more than once) on purpose so he doesn't have to do it anymore.

    Girl, if H and I had a naked day, the only thing that'd get done would be me.

    Seriously.  Naked time is play time....every time.

    H will help with the laundry - he usually carries it down & up for me since the laundry room is in the basement and it's icky down there.  Since he's down there anyway he'll help me load it & stuff so I always point out the things that don't go in the dryer but he has a block in his brain when it comes to remembering that stuff.  He's good at sorting darks & lights though.  Yay HB!!!  Maybe someday I'll get to the point where I trust him to do it alone.

    HA!  It would be quite distracting... but you could always incorporate the spin cycle ;)

  • :) This is funny. H always talks about how "I did my own wash before I had you!!!!" BUT if he does wash he WONT do mine cuz he says he's afraid to mess anything up. haha So I tell him not to bother because why would we do our wash separate?!? It's wasteful and pointless! I enjoy doing laundry anyway, for the most part. It's not very hard, and with just the 2 of us, we only do it once a week. :)
  • I love when DH does the laudry but he never folds/puts everything away.  It's like his ADD gets the best of him and he ends up leaving a few of my things in a pile on the bed so they get wrinkled and that really irritates me.  He also puts things away in the wrong places...even after living in the same place with me for 2 1/2 years.  Argh!

    After 2+ years H still puts dishes and kitchen utensils and away in the wrong places.  It's irritating when I'm trying to cook and can't find something, but I guess I can't complain- it means he's unloading the dishwasher and doing dishes- lol.  He just doesn't have the same need for things to have a specific "home" as I do.  He'd probably do this with clothes, too... if he ever put folded laundry away.

  • My H and usually switch up chores. It used to be I did dishes and he did laundry then we switched. He still helps out with laundry sometimes and the same for me with dishes. I just got so tired of doing the dishes! lol Though he usually makes me fill the basket with what I want washed.
