Venting...DH

Okay, long story short, we had to go to SC for a funeral over the weekend, left Friday morning came back later Momday night.

In order to help me out, DH did laundry on Thursday, I got home from work and he told me it was all done...great!  Well we found out this morning when DH took DS to daycare without his nap bag, that no laundry was not done,  DH had left a load in the washer, yes that is correct, he left laundry in the washer for 5 days.  He called me at work and told he tossed it in the dryer and it should be fine.  YUCK!  I guess I will be doing two loads of laundry when I get home from work tonight. 

I love it that DH was trying to be helpful and he gets frustrated when I tell him I will do the laundry.  Well I guess I have an example of why I usually do it.  DH "thinks" that once the last load is in the dryer he is done, I usually find the last load when I go to put laundry in the following week. 

Well we were both rushing around on Thursday night/Friday morning and I didn't think I had to check his work.  We would have had to do laundry when we returned home but we did it while we were away since DS got sick a couple of times and we didn't want to drag nasty laundry home with us.

I guess I will need to do the laundry from now on.  I love it when he tries to help.  Confused

  • I feel your pain.....before we got married I heard lots of stories from DH complaining about how he shrunk his clothes or got a weird stain that won't come out, etc, so once we got married I said he wasn't doing wash because I don't want to have to buy new clothes every time he does something weird to them....sometimes I let him do towels.......

    haha

  • not so much about laundry, but I totally hear you.  DH is perfectly willing to help with the household chores, but he's still just your typical guy.  He unloads the dishwasher and puts away glasses with the dishes and dishes with the pots and pans.  Come on, really?  When I've let laundry "go" for a few days, he doesn't take over unless I ask him too.  He waits until it turns into a major chore and involves wasting an entire day to do laundry.  Although we JUST got married, we've lived together for 2 years, so this is not a new problem.....
  • my DH actually does most of the laundry, but he never replaces the garbage bags when he takes out the garbage - grr!
  • There are times like this when I am happy that I do the laundry.... that load must have had a funky smell!!  My Dh would have just thrown in extra dryer sheets ... lol
