And I'm talking dh not a child well not an under 18yr old . A bit of background - we have a laundry bin in our bedroom, he maintains that because it is there and he throws half of his clothes in that direction that the laundry fairy should know when he is running short of underwear, and so collect, wash and return clothes. The children and I get dressed and undressed downstairs (only have downstairs bathroom) so we don't wake him up at 6ish when the little ones get up. I get ready for bed downstairs after making lunches, dishwasher, tumble dryer stuff, and he is usually already in bed. I therefore put all of mine, children's and any of his dirty clothes downstairs straight into washing machine to wash overnight and either dry on line or tumble dryer next day. We therefore get clean clothes on a regular basis.
I don't think IABU in suggesting that he brings his laundry down when he knows he is running low, I will then wash dry + return. I already insist that he empties his own tissue laden pockets first. If it matters to you, he works mon-fri 9-5, I work from home 5+ hrs per week (evenings, weekends), have two in primary school and a 2yr old at home with me all the time. Dh feels that I should do it as part of the 'team'.
