Your Spouse Has No Business Doing The Laundry
While extra help with household chores is a welcomed thing, something that you want to encourage, laundry is not for everyone. Some minor mistakes here and there can really cost you a lot of extra money in clothes, and machine repairs. If you notice mistakes happening frequently it may be time to pull aside your spouse and gently offer to take over the responsibility.
The new men's sport watch that was a loyalty gift from his company is now stuck in the lint trap. Whether it was stuffed in a pants pocket, attached somehow to a shirt, or thrown in on purpose you will never know, but it is definitely ruined. Pulling it out may well require a repairman, which will be costly.
The new maternity wear that took several weeks to amass, not to mention numerous credit cards, now looks as though it will fit the baby just fine. Trying to stretch it back out proved to me a task done in vain. Another shopping trip is on the horizon. This is not something that was in the home budget.
He heard the comments about needing to clean your boots. Now there are a lot of ways to clean women's brown boots, but he certainly did not choose one of them. He popped them into the washer. Along with the boots he washed bath towels and your delicates. There is no telling how long the boots will take to dry. The towels seemed to have survived the ordeal, but your delicates are another matter. Back to the mall!
He is proud of his handy work and refuses to admit that something has gone amiss. He is walking around in pink socks, because now all of the socks are pink. He went ahead and tossed bright red towels in with the socks and underwear. Instead of asking where he went wrong, he reasserts the fact that real men wear pink.
You will both die from static electric shock. There is no doubt in your mind. A fleece blanket has been laundered, and dried, with silk pajamas. Why not? Both are meant for sleeping so there was a line of logic used here. Heaven help you in your attempts to pull apart the items at all.
Your dog now has a new cashmere sweater. It is very becoming in a lovely teal blue. It used to be yours. Enough said. The disaster really are not going to quit, so for the sake of your own credit card bill you need to convince him that vacuuming and dusting are more his speed.
