I don't understand how men's brains work
For example: I have all the laundry sorted into piles in front of the closet where our washer and dryer are. DH put his laundry from last night/this morning into the laundry basket which is in the closet... so he would've had to go over the piles to put it there. Why not just put it in the pile for me!?!
Re: I don't understand how men's brains work
So jealous! I made him fold his own clothes at least. He use to do some of his own laundry (b/c he didn't know what to do with mine) and now he doesn't do anything. He'll load/unload the dishwasher, clean the floors once in a while, and take out the garbage/recycling, but that's pretty much it. He's definitely going to start having to pitch in more once I'm in school!
It's probably out of habit. Sometimes you don't think of the obvious when you're so used to doing something a certain way. But you would think stepping over piles would be a pretty good reminder that the laundry has already been sorted.
We both do our own laundry thank goodness. I pretty much assured that I would never get stuck doing all the laundry when I turned all of Dan's stuff green one day. I was trying to be nice so I did some of his laundry for him. I also threw in the bathroom rug...which has green stripes. Most of his stuff was ruined including his white t-shirts for under his work shirts. He got really mad and I told him I would buy him new ones so I went to Macy's and got the same kind he had. Apparently they changed the design and he didn't like them anymore. So I took them back and went to Target and bought two different kinds for him to try. After a few more trips to Target he finally had t-shirts. It was a huge ordeal that drove me crazy.
His birthday is next week and I asked what he wanted. One of the things he said was new white t-shirts. I told him there was no way in he!! I would go anywhere near the things.
But to sum it up, I never have to touch his laundry ever again in my life.
LOL sorry Stu but I love that I don't have to do laundry!
Bernie is wierd about the length of his shirts as well. I don't get it I will tell him it looks great and he gets pissed that he doesn't think so. The thing that kills me is he will hang it back up but never wear it agian EVER!!!
I'm so glad to hear Adam is like that too. I thought I was married to a freak! It's the length that Dan has issues with too. Apparently if they aren't the perfect length they drive him crazy. I don't understand it.
I do all of the laundry, cleaning (wash, fold, put away), cooking and dishes (ususally). Kevin does all of the outside stuff that I hate to do and I don't mind cooking/cleaning. He is actually a great cook and will chip in when i'm super busy or is in the mood to cook some outrageous meal.
I would be terrified if he did laundry. His or mine. He had to call me for instrucations on how to do a load of towels one time and i just ended up saying "i'll be home in 30 minutes...i'll just do it" haha
yeah, Kevin is crazy about the length of his shirts too. So now, I hang dry his shirts and then throw them in the dryer for that last little bit of drying and no problems anymore.
Jay used to leave his clothes on the floor just a few steps from the laundry chute. So I put a hamper there. Now his clothes are all over the floor around the hamper, sigh...
Jay leaves his clothes on the floor next to our bed or (get this) ON TOP of the hamper. It makes me insane!!!
Tuesday, he calls me at work, "hunny you didn't do the laundry?" I'm like no we were busy this weekend. He doesn't yell but it was def a condenscending tone, about how his work uniforms were in there and now he doesnt have any to where to work (this is BS, he always leaves one pair at work). I'm like sorry, i'll do it tonight. He's like you know i bring them home every weekend ( he doesn't by the way) you should have known they were in there. I near about went through the phone to choke him!!! SERIOUSLY!! Did you not see the overflowing basket in the bathroom, if you knew your uniforms were in there then why didn't you do the laundry?!!!!!
Bahahaha! Love.
