American women don't know how to wash their clothes!

OP, what country are you from? Seriously, I want to know where this paradise is where everybody, men, women, kid's and the dog, are all laundry PhDs!

Do you all work or is this what home makers talk about all day?

OK I'll bite. I want to know how to load the dishwasher so it actually cleans my dishes. I hate the soap scum that ends up on the top of the dishes in the top rack.

Whereas all of you important men spent the day debating the GNP and Jacob Burkhardt's "The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy" and inventing a cure for AIDS. Which we knew already from the important discussions that went on in the now-defunct DCUM Men's Forum.

I'm a woman and don't contemplate correct laundering techniques. Women often get on these BORING topics that also include proper ass wiping of toddlers and windex vs. vinegar and it is so tiresome.

Look at you all squabbling over an idiotic topic! Pathetic.

Come on folks, who will buy that old looking, ragged sleeper that costs $7.00 new for $5.00 in a consignment sale? Seriously? Stretched sweaters full of lint, fuzz and pills? No thanks! Gerber onesies with spit up stains!! EEEWWWW!!!
What about disgusting shoes? Yup, beaten up stuff that is all stained and stinks! What do you people have in mind when you send these things to be sold?
And among all the crap I find a cute like new J&J outfit for $37!
HELO-OW... They're on sale now and I can get something pretty similar for the same price and BRAND NEW!

But, clearly, I didn't learn my lesson and tomorrow I'm heading to another sale since it's the 50% day and I can't miss the Dollar Dash at the end of the day

ps. I got a pack 'n play with infant insert and travel bag for $7!!! and a co-sleeper also brand new - in the bag - for $10.
I should be thankful for those

American women might not know how to properly wash clothes, but they sure are smarter than your stupid "wherever the hell you are from" ass. Maybe we spend less time doing laundry and more time being successful.

Oh puh...liz... you can be successful all you want and call yourself "smart" all you want but who really cares when you wear clothes that stink?.

In complete contrast to some European countries who I could mention, where the women have a reputation for stylishness but people only bathe every few days (trust me, I had a language teacher from one of these countries).

my husband does all our laundry. "American women should teach their husbands how to wash their clothes"

American women know that clothing at a second hand shop is second hand.

That's a cultural view.

In all seriousness, this is a helpful post. Stains are my biggest concern and I need to start pre-treating right away (which is tough with a toddler - do I rip the clothes off him right after dinner)? I am ashamed at how dingy DS's whites are (heck, all of our whites). I use bleach and wash on hot, what else am I doing wrong? Is there any way to salvage and revitalize dingy whites?

0 Ideally you take his clothes off BEFORE dinner unless you're serving him simple finger foods like cheese cubes, apple slices and plain noodles. Also I've heard soaking/washing clothes in white vinegar helps with dinginess.

Then I suggest you leave.

Here's the deal: When everyone stinks, no one notices. And Europeans have much healthier hair than we do.

NOT true! Everyone is Europe does not stink. None of the professionals I worked with there stunk. People DO notice when someone stinks on the public transport or other places. In thepast it may have ben that everyone stunk but not anymore -- they also shave their legs and armpits more than they used to.

But are they wearing the same suit/outfit everyday for a whole week?
