AIBU?

To think he's a bit of a prick really

H just threw a massive strop because he doesn't have any clean work clothes. It's a sore subject in our house because I feel like I do EVERYTHING in the house as it is. I cook, clean, wash up, tidy, do laundry etc etc... He works a few more hours than me so thinks it gives him an excuse to do fuck all.

I've started to leave his clothes piling up at the side of the bed and saying I won't wash them unless he actually brings them to the washing basket (this is a grown adult man).

Over the weekend, I'd done a wash and the clothes have been drying on the maiden. I put some of his work clothes in this morning but haven't actually pressed the button because I was waiting for the other clothes to dry.

He's gone mental, throwing clothes about the kitchen screaming that I have so much more spare time and how the fuck would I like going to work in dirty clothes. I've screamed back saying I'd clean my own fucking clothes because I'm not a child who needs mummy to do it for them!

I've said why the fuck would he not just come home and put a wash on himself if it's bothered him so much. Apparently he's been making comments for days about how he has no clean clothes so I should know. Like yeah... I do know... But you're capable of washing them yourself?!

I probably could do more to make the house more organised but fucking hell, I work full time as well and well... I'm not his pissing slave?!

I'm absolutely raging. What a cunt!

Hopefully he will learn his lesson. Do not back down.

Erm, could he not also do more to make the house more organized.
Why is that your job?
Yanbu, he is a man child of epic proportions. I wouldn't touch any of his laundry ( or him) again unless there was a grovelling apology.
What would happen in the reverse scenario..would he wash your work.clothes??🤔

This is just so shocking to me.

What on earth must his upbringing have been like? XH has his faults and is lazy as fuck around the house but he never thought it was my job to do his washing for him!!!

Don’t back down! How dare he be mad at you because he is such an incompetent turd and can’t put a bloody wash on.

Also he needs to pull his weight in the house.

Apparently I could do it in the 2 hours more sleep I get in the morning (he leaves before me).

He still doesn't get that ITS.NOT.MY.JOB.

And I do fucking do it. Most of the time. But the one time I don't is all he gives a shit about.

He sounds like a knob. Was he house trained before you lived together?

"DH, I'm not washing your clothes any more because it's turned you into an entitled brat who feels it's ok to scream at me for service. I work full time too, & you behaviout tonight has shown me that you need a serious reality check. I am going to be drawing up an equitable division of household chores, so anything on your list that doesn't get done ... won't get done by me.
I'm no longer prepared to do your housework for you, & if you scream at me again, throw things around in a rage, or take me for granted one more time - I'm done.
Got it?"

Then go out for the evening.

If he doesn't want to accept your division of labour, then you'll know how much he respects you & what he thinks you're good for. Nannying him, Mr Important.
Fuck that shit.

We have a simple rule in our family: if it's not in the dirty washing basket it ain't getting washed, and if the basket is full, just fill up the machine and wash the clothes. It's everyone's job.

Stick to your guns. If he doesn't like it, he can fuck off.

Ask him if his penis affects his capacity to use household appliances, because you can't see any other reason a grown man couldn't wash his own fucking clothes.

My DH gets like this too its like I have 3 children most of the time.
I told my husband if he doesn't bring them down to wash they dont get washed, I manage to wash my own clothes and everyone else's, hard shit if he has forgotten to bring them down, I do everything in the house.
Same as t shirts he takes them off and leaves them all over the house, I used to wash them then get moaned at because it wasn't washing. So I leave them now then I get moaned at that he has no clean t shirts to wear.
I said I ain't his mum and not a slave.
Once in a strop he brought his clothes down and didn't know how to work the washer. He had to ask our 7 year old DD to show him how to use it as she loves helping me so knows how to put a wash on. He hasn't gone off on one for a while and if he forgets he just says they will be ok for another day.
I wouldn't mind but his job isn't a job where I can wash his clothes with a normal wash.

Oh my god op. Why are you doing the majority anyway? He sees you as his maid. Get rid of the wanker honestly. This is not how life should be.

If the washing isn't in the basket then it doesn't get done in this house - I've better things to do with my time than hunt for washing.

Oh right, you could do it in the 'two hours' could you?

Your response is 'I don't want to!' and repeat!

Fuck him!

I just stopped washing my DH's clothes about 5 years ago when I felt things were getting too uneven. He's done his own washing and some of the kids ever since.

You are 100% in the right and he is 100% a twat.

Sounds like my house OP, I get the moaning about football clothes as well. I've been telling him for 8 years if he wants them done for specific times to make sure he does them himself. He never does, so he can't be that bothered. He's given up now, he still says things but he knows better that to give me a hard time or shout at me for it.

No he's downstairs sulking waiting for the washing machine to finish so he can put clothes out on the radiators (which he actually managed to work himself can you believe!)
