To decide myself and just do it?

[QueenofallIsee]

DP, myself and our 4 DC have been in our lovely new house for about 2 months, we are delighted with it. Having been in our last house for 10yrs alot of crap was found whilst packing and as the standing joke is that himself would, if not for me, be living in a fort made entirely of junk that will one day 'come in', agreements were made to chuck ruthlessly. AIBU then to be pissed that we are having a house warming do in 2 days and he has done BOG ALL about the 7 bin liners of his clothes still littered around the house??!! Please note

1. He has empty double wardrobe for his exclusive use
2. He wears precisely 3 outfits week in week out
3. I found in one bag t shirts that I know for a fact were free from Esso with petrol in 1986

Anyone support me in mass chuck out?!?

Put his bin liners in his wardrobe, out of sight, for him to deal with at his convenience.

Chuck it. I have been doing the same for our move. If dh hadn't worn it for ages or when asked, didn't know who's it was I chucked it, donated it or made it into oil rags for the garage.
My house is now show ready for sale, it feels wonderful and my cupboards are nearly bare.

Tell him he either deals with them by tomorrow eve or they go to the charity shop.

CHucking it without telling him or giving him an ultimatum as Twatty says is infantilising him. He is an adult. Don't move them, don't push him. Tell the visitors what the bags are. Let him deal with it.
Disclaimer: I am not houseproud.

Cheers folks! I know its trivial but it is really grinding my gears!

Charity shop. If he hasn't worn it he won't miss it at all if you get rid of it.

YABU - put it in his wardrobe (left in bags)

Put the bags in the wardrobe

Chuck. Totally chuck. He'll never miss the stuff.

Completely and totally sympathise, as my DH is exactly the same and would quite happily hold onto bags of crap he never uses. and frequently does
Are your wardrobes big enough? Put the bags in there until he gets his arse into gear and gets them sorted.
I wouldn't just throw them, that would cause more problems. Some people have a real problem about throwing things (anything) out - not saying your DP is like this, but know if I threw bags of my extremely borderline hoarder DH's stuff out, I'd never hear the end of it.

Mum?

Not so much the actual mess it was the t shirts feom 1986

Chuck it out - I cleared out DHs clutter the last time we moved. 6 years (!) later he hasn't noticed / missed most of the clutter.

i'm a fan of the ultimatum too - then it becomes his responsiblity if he does nothing about them.

If you put the bags in a wardrobe they will stay there forever!

I support the ultimatum too.

I would put them in his wardrobe. You won't be able to see them then.

I don't think it's on to throw away someone else's clothes. He might decide to do the same to you.

I would eBay the esso tee shirts, and buy for the party

Send it to one of those places that pays for clothes by the kilo and then spend the money on wine.

Hide them in the loft/garage for a while. That way, if he remembers them in the next couple of weeks, you don't get into trouble for having thrown them away (but they will be musty and dusty and he won't want them any more). But if he doesn't remember, you can sneak them out of the house without him noticing at a later date.

Put it in the garage/attic/shed, tell him where it is and that he should sort out the bits he wants or it will all be ruined, 90% chance that he won't and by spring it will have mice in it/mildew and you can throw away blamelessly

Great minds eldritch

Stuff the infantilising! Just dump the crap.

Seriously, if u wait for him it could be months. Just do it.

Lol Fauxfox - I like your style! also keen on the 'swap clothes for wine' approach. In fact, I will swap HIM for wine if there are any takers

Learned it from my mother, Fauxfox. Who learned it because my father will never throw anything away!
