When DH was single he would leave his clothes unfolded so that women would see him al wrinkly and think he needed someone to take care of him...he thought he was so clever...now his clothes are all wrinkly cause he married the un0laundry queen and I'm lucky to get the kids' stuff folded!

But if I watch and learn how, Anne might find out, and it will be my job from then on. Thanks anyway, but I found out how that goes when I took out the trash one time forty-four years ago; that's been my job ever since. All I hear around here is, "Take out the trash. Take out the trash. Take out the trash. Take out... ad nauseum." Sometimes I just can't take it anymore, but being the saint that I am...

Wow, now that is hilarious! I seriously diddn't know anyone diddn't know! I thought he was joking!

Maybe if I diddn't have three kiddos to chase and clean up after and teach to read, I would fold my socks too. But, whatever. They are all in their drawers (most of the time) and that is good enough for me! If I can sit on my couch without sitting on laundry, I am very happy!

I am not that domestically inclined either.

sparkles2307, I can assure you that tactics like that one and others work for lots of guys.

Joe around here gonch don't get folded. Ginch don't either, but if they are found on the couch by visitors you would be likely never let to forget, and your facebook would be plastered with pictures of your friends wearing them over their head. You would likely not notice that until after you fetched the rest of them off your roof and every power pole in miles.

Do yourself a favour and just shove them in the drawer before someone notices. Socks too.

My husband does his own laundry every Sunday. If I have laundry in the dryer when he needs it he will fold it and put it away.

I LOVE when my husband does my laundry because he actually folds my underwear!

I just shove it in a drawer because really.... it's underwear.

When I do his laundry I leave his underwear on the bed so he can fold it. Shoving in a drawer is just fine for me.

SurprisingWoman, be delicate here - this is a family-friendly thread, despite the gross lapse of judgment of having JoeBryant as a member.
I believe the term you are looking for is "underpinnings".

Nope...it's underwear. You wear it underneath everything. Therefore, underwear.


I've decided I'm losing the laundry war. All I ask is the bf to put the laundry up. Heck...I folded it. It's STILL sitting next to the sofa in the "clean" basket waiting to be put up...2 weeks later.

Hey, as long as it's available, why should he put it up? If he does it once... I can tell that this guy's been all the way around the block.
