I'm a slow learner too, sort of. Until we moved into this house, Dh has always put his dirty clothes in the hamper. When we moved in here, he began tossing his dirty clothes next to the bed. I'd fuss about it, to no avail. When he had no more clean clothes, he'd fuss at me to wash them. Hmmm, I don't see any dirty clothes in the hamper, so there's nothing to wash. He'd wear dirty clothes, and fuss that I wouldn't do laundry. I'd tell him there was no laundry in the clothes hamper to wash. Finally, he'd gather up the huge pile, and toss them in the hamper, then expect me to hop on it immediately.

It's a good thing he didn't hold his breath, is all I've got to say. I don't do well with the "froggy jump" scenario. I waited at least 2 days to start washing them. If he'd wanted them done sooner, he should have cooperated, and put them in the hamper, instead of piling up 4 loads at a time for me to do. Til today, he still does that, and I still won't jump on his laundry instantly when he piles it up like that. What I've learned is that I don't have to be concerned with all his fussing about it. He can blow it out his ear.

Put a hamper to where he leaves his clothes. If he has to walk any distance it's too much trouble. If he doesn't like it there he can move it.
