He Tries, He Really Does
May 3, 2008
I just went to start laundry and found the washer full. No rhyme or reason, my husband threw in 3 towels, 4 t-shirts, a gym sock, a sports bra and his work pants in the same load.
Yesterday.
I think.

LOL! My hubby does the same thing!
Last week, I asked him where our son’s underpants were, and he said they were in the same load as the dishtowels… Wha?

Eh, whats the point of separating laundry anyway? Total time waster. I don’t separate our laundry either.
My big laundry complaint is the pockets full of change and the belts still in the belt loops. I just leave those clothes in the hamper. In fact, Cleatus has a pair of jeans that has been in the hamper for over a month (not even kidding) because he hasn’t taken the belt out yet.

Um, I am the one who leaves the separated loads in the washed days on end…Hubby is much better at laundry than I am. He isn’t as easily distracted by someone screaming for their butt to be wiped, or crashing of glass bowels. (Or you know hours upon hours on Twitter.)
Someday I will learn…like maybe when I am 85.

Over at my house we really enjoy washing the same load a couple times because of this same problem!!

Sounds just like the way I do laundry. And my husband is even worse with it than I am. We do not buy high maintenance clothing. Wonder why.

If mine put a load in the washer I would fall down and die.
The other day my daughters dumped the contents of their floordrobes in the laundry. I am estimating I have approximately eleventy hundred (give or take a few) loads to do.
Doesn’t help that I have laundry OCD and have to separate everything into piles of like minded (in my mind) items and wash in a particular order.
I blame my mother. She is insane.

See at my house, it would have included one silk blouse (dry clean only) and a (new) black sock.
He now does his own laundry.

OK, see? SEE?? This is exactly my problem!!! My sweet husband thinks he’s being ohsohelpful when he does my laundry, but he’s not. He’s NOT.
and everyone thinks I’m such a bitch because he made the effort.

Laundry is a complete mystery to me.

‘Tis the time of year when I start buying baking soda in the BIG bulk boxes - it really helps reduce the whiffiness when you have to re-wash that ‘not-so-fresh-anymore’ load that got forgotten for a few days…

what my beautiful sugarwife failed to much in this hilarious post is that she does the same thing ALL the time……maybe even more often than I do!

My husband thinks clothes get sorted into three categories: Whites, colors, and “I ain’t touchin’ that!”

I just posted about the struggles with getting my husband to understand my laundry rules yesterday. Almost six years of marriage - will he EVER figure me out?

My husband learned similar habits from his mother?! What am I supposed to do with that?!

Being a husband we do mean well when we “Try” it doesn’t always work out that way tho!
