there has to be a line drawn on what laundry I do. I just found that line. My husband just took a week long camping trip with the guys (See...good wife) I stayed at home with our three and a half year old. He came back from his camping trip with the most stinky laundry I have ever smelled. He dumped it on the laundry room floor, did not sort it into the baskets. Now I have to pick up each piece to sort it, instead of just dumping a basket full of stuff into the machine. Unfortunately, he needs some of the pieces for his job tomorrow, and he is working today otherwise, I would totally draw that line in the sand and not cross it.

Take it out side spray it with a hose and tell him the laundry is done lol. My husband tried doing that to me I packed up my stuff and went for a weekend of pampering leaving his dirty laundry where he left it. I was sure I would have to come home and take care of it but I was shocked when I got home and he had it all cleaned up. LOL Now he does his own camping laundry other wise he will have to pay for my pampering weekend again lol. Good luck doing your husbands laundry I am sure he had a great time and boy the smell will tell the story lol.

I took a big breath and picked up as much as I could in one armful. I added some baking soda to the wash to help with some of the odor. I really think this is going to be a two time through wash day.

We had the same way, but one day its not too happily enough that every moment is you try to be good,sometimes show your anger so that he would realize that your being tired enough.

Yeah I understand what you mean. He could have at least washed it himself knowing how bad that load of laundry would be. I'm glad though that you just went ahead and did it and didn't make a fuss about it. Hopefully though next time he will be more considerate.

This is the first time I've heard that line and I think it's a bit funny with a hint of truth in it. I tried to use it to my husband awhile ago and he said "ok honey, i'll rinse the crap off of it before I give it to you for finishing, how's that? Lol! Men, really...
