Wishing helpful dp would leave the ironing.

Very light hearted.
I am currently the only one working. Dp is out of work. He has taken to doing all the laundry. Sounds good, except once again I’ve come home from work to find an item of clothing I told him was stained, washed, dried, ironed and still with the stain on it!

I told him it had a stain on it so that he would either;
A) leave it for me to sort
Or
B) apply stain remover and actually wash it properly.
To top it all his ironing is rubbish.
When ever he irons it’s just not right.
I know this sounds incredibly whingey, I know.
I have suggested he irons and outs clothes straight onto hangers and hangs them up he has seen me doing this but he looks at me like I am insane.

Yet again he irons then folds the ironed garment, several times, then puts them all in a pile, puts them on the bed for me to sort and put away. They are all creased!!!!
I can’t go to work in these clothes.

I know in the grand scheme of things it’s not that important but what is the point?
It’s a complete waste of resources.
I’ve got to wash , dry and iron my skirt again, hoping the stain will come out.
I’ve got to re - iron my clothes.
What a waste of time.
I don’t know what the hell he does to get them so creased again!!!!

To be fair I had a crap day at work so might not be in the best of moods.

Show him that his hard work has been wasted by not hanging them up. Or put it back in the ironing basket so he has to keep doing it. He'll soon realise.
