[quote=Anonymous]I would always do all the laundry in our house. Sort, wash, dry, fold, deliver to rooms to put away. It worked for many years. DH never helped. Many times, he would just have a pile of clothes on the floor for weeks and the clean would get mixed in with the dirty. He didn't care. And about once a month he would just say "wash it all" because he didn't know what was clean or dirty. And so I'd sort, wash, dry, fold, deliver again. Then I got fed up. We had 2 kids, so I had to take care of their stuff but I'd be damned if I was going to wash another clean piece of his crap because he was too lazy to do anything with it.

Fast forward to today. He just has a pile of clothes in the laundry room of varying degrees of clean vs dirty. He treats the washing machine like his hamper, and will just throw clothes in there with no intention of actually running the machine. Our kids are old enough to do their own laundry, and they do it. If DH's clothes are being stored in the washer, they get thrown onto the floor (not run with the next person's load). If he magically had run his own load and moved those to the dryer, they sit in the dryer for days. If his clothes are in the dryer when someone else is moving their laundry around, DH's clothes get thrown onto the floor. It's goddamn ridiculous but he doesn't do anything about it, and then has the nerve to make comments about no one taking care of his clothes.

So, when I stopped doing it, it just didn't get done. I don't care about it. He is a grown-ass man and can take care of himself.[/quote]
