My partner has skid marks in every fucking pair of pants he wears. How do I wash them without spreading germs everywhere?

If you don't wash your husband's pants, etc. what do you do?
Sort through thecwashing into separate piles, ensuring one of his socks doesn't dare go in with your own washing load? 😒

nahnonever · 26/04/2020 18:38

@agonyauntie2020 laundry advice yes, thank you

Why do people report funny threads? Let us have some fun

SueEllenMishke · 26/04/2020 18:41

No we have our own washing baskets.......it’s not that hard to understand.

Even when I was on mat leave he was capable of doing of his own washing.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 26/04/2020 18:41

Having now read the whole thread I still think that any adult who for whatever reason is staining their pants needs to be washing them themselves.

Sparklingbrook · 26/04/2020 18:41

Because there's some weirdos out there that like to troll about poo @Thefaceofboe.

But laundry advice is not fun.

TheEyeOfProvidence · 26/04/2020 18:44

Eugh, Britain and its hatred of bidets / bum guns! Why?!

Thefaceofboe · 26/04/2020 18:46

@Sparklingbrook I know but the comments make me laugh Grin

nahnonever · 26/04/2020 18:47

@Thefaceofboe the comments have me laughing so much!

Cannot imagine why else a grown woman would be washing a grown man's pants

This is the stupidest comment. Obviously a grown women is going to wash her partner pants? The same as he washes mine when he does the washing Grin

MrsJBaptiste · 26/04/2020 18:56

Separate washing baskets! 😂

SueEllenMishke · 26/04/2020 18:57

Why is that funny? It makes the most sense.
Why should I do another adults washing???

Drivingdownthe101 · 26/04/2020 19:00

When I put a load of washing on, I wash DH’s pants. When he puts a load on, he washes mine.

TheEyeOfProvidence · 26/04/2020 19:03

Why should I do another adults washing???

Assuming nothing weird gross like poo is on them, why NOT wash another adult's washing? If my basket is full, I put mine and his washing in at the same time. When his is full, he does the same. Nothing particularly outrageous about that.

ReginaPhallange47 · 26/04/2020 19:06

Some of these comments 😂😂🙈

I love how poo threads always get reported thanks to the old MN legend of the poo troll. You'd think a forum for intelligent grown women would be more comfortable with discussing natural bodily functions!

MrsJBaptiste · 26/04/2020 19:06

If you refuse to wash your partner's clothes, who does the kids?

Stone/Paper/Scissors?

Justaboy · 26/04/2020 19:09

but he does have Bowel issues

Well you could have said that first post OP!

Jusa chuck them in the wash they won't contamiate anything!

nahnonever · 26/04/2020 19:12

@Justaboy I realise that now but I honestly wasn't looking for opinions on my relationship so I didn't think it mattered. I just wanted cleaning advice

TheMotherofAllDilemmas · 26/04/2020 19:15

If that is the case, wonder if using a bucket with napisan (or whatever is used for cloth nappies) can be used to keep them separated from the rest of the laundry before the weekly wash.

Cherrysoup · 26/04/2020 19:15

A friend came to stay with her new DP and her dc. She then left her dc at my house for a week, normal arrangement, only difference had been new partner. I went to strip the bed they’d used and found the most appallingly shitty pairs of boxers ever. The dc were with me helping and said it was frequent and often the bedsheets were covered in skid marks. Apparently they told him and he just laughed. I was nearly puking.

All the pp asking why someone is washing their dp’s clothes-wtf, I do the washing, separated into lights and darks, not whose clothes are whose. My dh definitely does his share, virtually all the cooking, all the finances, all the dog walks. Don’t you share household stuff?

Maremaremare · 26/04/2020 19:22

Skid marks are a sign of constipation (incomplete evacuation). He may not realise he is constipated as new soft poo squeezes past old blockages. It can be solved by doing a disimpaction regime with Movicol.

To sanitise your washing you can add Dettol Laundry Cleanser.

SueEllenMishke · 26/04/2020 19:26

mrsjbaptiste communal washing (small DC, towels, bedding) is shared and done when needed.
We both work full time and both lived alone before we moved in together. DH has been doing his own washing since he was 13. He has his own routine. Why would I need to do his washing? He knows what needs doing and when. He doesn't need or want me to do it.
As soon as DS is old enough he'll be responsible for his own washing too.

Bertucci · 26/04/2020 19:27

Yuck. Get him to wash his own pants and also seek medical advice.

SueEllenMishke · 26/04/2020 19:29

cherry yes of course we share household stuff.
For us individual laundry is personal hygiene/admin. It works for us.
