I bet he will wash only what "needs" to be clean and leave the rest.

hmmm....my dh would be all pissy about it but lord knows SS would never learn responsibility so my vote is that it was done by your DH!

I cannot tell you how pissed off I would be that those clothes keep ending up in front of my bedroom door. I'm afraid I would be kicking them all over the house and out the front door.

I bet he will do what's absolutely necessary and leave the rest. I suggest you take the rest and dump them in a trash can. Something, anything, but don't leave them there in front of the door.

Definitely speak up to both guys that those clothes don't belong on the floor in front of your bedroom. What if you tripped on them for goodness sakes! (Lol)

One socially embarrassing ordeal for ss might motivate him to wash his clothes. Hope for your sake that time is now.

HA! I vote for one uniform washed and the rest left on the floor.

i bet they will all be sitting there still.

best case scenario, he may have washed a few uniform shirts?

your dh needs to get off his ass and either hold ss responsible for it or do it himself!

i would have long ago put that crap in a big bag and it would go elsewhere. "nope, i havent seen his stuff in some time." and yes, i would absolutely still do that even with paid-for school uniforms. if your dh cant supervise or manage the washing, then he can do more buying.

jmho!!

oh peanut- sorry i didnt see the other stuff u're dealing with...
ugh, what a mess.

a two day window to get laundry in there is more than fair. yeah, 'bigger fish to fry' and all that.

((hugs))

My first thought when reading this was a little evil. Refold (but don't wash) all the clothes, put them in a laundry basket and put them in SS's room. He won't even notice that they are dirty most likely.

My SD would do the same thing. She would see me hanging out clothes, carrying them around and putting them away. The first day back to work (I work 3 days 12.5 hrs), there would be a huge pile at the end of the hallway. I didn't mind the pile when they were little but that shit stinks now. Every freaking week same thing..

DSO: SD doesn't have any clean pants.
Me: Do we have to do this every week. Maybe she needs to put them out when I'm not working.

No one touches my laundry. I've had too many clothes and washers ruined by people doing half ass jobs, including my DIL.

I agree with the posters who said he'd only wash ONE set of uniforms and leave the rest for the laundry fairys to come do.

I lashed out at my DH on the weekend bc he decided to wash all of SS' beddings on Friday before he came over in the evening. Usually, I would get the kids to take off all their bed sheets etc, and put it out for me to do - DH knows this, so I was shocked when he told me he'd already done all of SS's. When I asked him why he didn't do my BS', his reply was he was reluctant to go into his room. Are you kiddin' me?? I have no problems going into skids rooms to clean, vacuum and pull their sheets off to wash when they aren't there. When they are there, we all usually do it together (well, now we use SD's room as a spare, but sheets still need to be washed).

After DH felt my disappointment and heard how hurt and pissed off I was, he'll be thinking long and hard before doing anything so stupid again. I yelled at him that this is one of the reasons we're having so many problems with SD - bc he would do everything for her, which explains her entitled attitude. By doing only SS's laundry, he's making out that SS is special by only focusing on cleaning his room. This is not being fair to the rest of the household, including BS. If there's one thing I cannot stand it's hypocrisy and unfairness. Particularly, as we're having so much drama with SD - last thing we need is to have SS develop this entitled, expectant attitude - and DH is encouraging this by his stupid actions. (Yes, he believes he was doing the right thing - but c'mon - he'd HATE it if I only focused on washing BS' things and left SS to one side (way to make him feel like an outsider).

All are done together - or fuck it - they can learn to do their own. I will NOT allow ANY kid that comes over, or lives with us, to feel like they are so very special that their bedding sheets are done separately - uh uh no way - it also pissed me off massively, bc DH bitches his ass off about our electricity bill (which I go halves for) - then proceeds to wash SS's sheets only - which was a small wash - way to save electricity ya goose!

I went off at him about his hypocrisy and made it clear that from now on - if he wants SS to feel like part of our family, then his laundry gets done along with all ours. DH got it - but damn, I get so friggin' frustrated that I have to actually point this out to him!
