Do you throw away...
DH's clothes when you do laundry? This could be paper thin boxers that he's had since high school, holey socks, socks that don't have a match, etc.
Richard doesn't have any clothes that needs to be thrown away. He does have a few pairs of socks with holes that I so want to chuck in the garbage. I asked him why he doesn't throw them away and get a pack of new socks for like $6. He just shrugged.
Re: Do you throw away...
Yes. But it's because *somehow* the holes in his jeans or whatever get bigger when I do the laundry. And he never knows the difference.
ETA: He had one pair of jeans that had a fingertip-size hole just below the zipper. I kept washing them b/c he usually just wore them for working on his truck or knocking around the house. If I saw him wearing them to go out, I'd make him change. He wore them to go bowling a few weeks ago and I didn't catch him before we left the house - he ended up tearing a sizeable hole while bowling and was mortified, especially b/c (TMI) he usually goes commando. LMAO.
I don't throw stuff away when I do his laundry but if he's wearing something that needs to be thrown out. And yes he will be wearing underwear with massive holes in them. When he takes them off I will say don't put those on the ground put those in the trash can.
Toby does our laundry so no. But he's pretty good about throwing his things out if they need it.

jealous...ive been asking don for weeks now to go through his clothes and do a spring cleaning. still hasn't happened.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
I'm pretty sure if I did this it wouldn't go unnoticed and J would flip. He has single, mismatched socks all over the place and who the hell knows why on Earth he's holding onto them when the other half is completely MIA.
He has dingy, washed out tshirts with holes in them that I have been so tempted to throw out but since they're "sacred" (he got them in Salt Lake City while skiing like SIX years ago) he absolutely will not let them go. I should just put a knife through some of them & call it a day.

J always, ALWAYS wears shirts to work with stains, holes, phantom spots... it's appalling to me! Glad my hubs is not the only one that's a mess.

hahaha@susieQ's bowling story
I never throw anything of his away. I'd flip out if he did that to me.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash

Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
haha this reminds me of that laundry detergent commercial where the father doesn't want his daughter to wear her short, white skirt anymore so he tries to ruin it by rubbing his muddy hands all over it after working outside. The mom washes it with the detergent and of course it come out clean and white with no stains. The girl wears the skirt again and the father has this defeated look on his face lol
If it makes you feel any better I've told Tom a good 5 times now that I really want to move the furniture in the bedroom and vacuum behind everything to see if it helps my allergies and it still hasn't happened. I'm also working on training him to unload and reload the dishwasher on a more consistent basis.

If you find a program that works, I'll buy it from you. We are in the middle of another dish war. I had to cave. It killed me.
it bothers me that i have to ask don point blank to do things around the house. as in i think he should be able to notice dishes collecting in the sink and he should just think for himself to either wash them or load them into the dishwasher.
Jen - I totally agree. I can't figure out why lots of dishes can be placed in the sink but not in the dishwasher. Or why its so difficult to straighten the towel in the bathroom after you use it since when its all balled up on the rack it doesn't dry. Or why if I repeatedly saying "emptying the canister on the vacuum cleaner will put me into a 5 day allergy nightmare" and sitting the vacuum cleaner in front of you means ignore it until I get pissy and remind you again.
I love him and he's overall pretty tidy but flying fudgeballs man, just think about this stuff for a second and realize an irritable wife is not what you want.
