to ask DH to buy the kids new school shirts because he ruined them??

[TotorosOcarina]

My DH often does the washing, which may seem like a good thing but its not. He does alot of things round the house, hoovering, dishwasher, bathtime etc. but I've told him so many times that if a wash needs doing to shout me because he always pisses it up!

This morning I open the dryer to find the kids uniforms (grey and green) in with about 5 white school shirts, white PE tshirts and denims and red thirts!!

He just shoves everything in and TBH hes done this so many times now that they are even beyond bleeching.

I shelled out on M&S shirts in september for them both and they are ruined.

So AIBU to tell him he has to buy them new shirts and PE tops because I really don't want to shell out myself for them (I buy everyones clothes in the house) and its him that keeps putting whites in with denims and colours?!

I don't understand His and Hers money arrangements TBH.

Perhaps you need to be quicker at doing the laundry yourself, you lazy slattern.

Why can't he just separate clothes rather than her needing to buy him baskets/colour catchers?

He is a grown man who is presumably holding down a job. My 2 year old helps separate washing FFS!

YANBU - he should pay (and have the inconvenience of physically replacing)

if he is in the kitchen and theres washing he does it, but he just doesn't sort through it.

I don't know WHY.

It is annoying but he makes up for it a hundred diff ways :)

its not really his/hers money arrangements its jst we've never opened a joint bank account.

Stick a no entry sign on the washing machine that says "No Men Allowed"

I mix stuff all the time with no problem, what on earth temperature did he use to ruin them like that?!
And I can't really answer because all our money in this house is in one pot. Don't really understand when folk who live together/have ids together do it any other way tbh.
Might make mine go to the shop himself though.

All our money is joint, but as we're on a strict budget we have specific amounts that we can spend on ourselves each month (as there is no more money than that!). In a similar situation I'd be tempted to say it would come out of DH's amount (or more likely, out of the clothing budget but DH would have to wait a few month's longer for his new shoes etc)
