AIBU to say my husband should manage his own uniform cleaning?

We live overseas. My husband is military and has different uniforms to wear to different events.

We have a part time housekeeper who does laundry and ironing. Either her or myself will take uniform to the dry cleaners if needed. I stick any bits in the wash as and when so he has them clean when he needs them - if he leaves them in the laundry room.

This morning my husband was in a flap as he needed to wear one uniform today and it hadn’t been dry cleaned and had a stain.

That’s very much a him problem right? He said I should have had it dry cleaned but how was I know if he didn’t tell me? I made the point that if he lets me know what he needs I’ll sort it out but I am not psychic, nor do I go around inspecting or smelling his uniform to see if needs a clean.

Some other trousers were covered in cat hair because he left them on the floor so the cat slept on them…

LTB right?

Why are you asking if you're being unreasonable, just out of interest?
