AIBU To expect OH to pick up his clothes?

[1974rach]

PICK YOUR UNDERPANTS UP OFF THE FLOOR AND PUT THEM IN THE LAUNDRY BIN YOU LAZY GIT!

I will kill him, I will!

God knows why I am even bothering ttc - I already have a child (of 41...)

is it to early for wine?

Yabu have you heard of the floordrobe? My hubby has one drive me nuts. Raaaaar

My husband does this too!! Drives me round the bloody bend!!!
Our bedroom is like his very own walk in wardrobe, just clothes everywhere!!

What is it with men?!

Yep, I have one of those too. Our spare bedroom is like a 14 year old boys room with his clothes everywhere. He manages to put his boxers in the laundry, but cant quite grasp taking his socks off at the same time, so they end up in the spare room, no logic, just pure laziness.

I also have a laundry basket phobic DH. I've given up hoping he will learn

It's a floordrobe. DP has a boxdrobe.

Oh yes - he has a floordrobe (drives me round the hat rack..) This morning OH has:

Used my(tweezerman) tweezers (yet again) to remove paper from the printer. I have previously informed him that they are not tools, this does not appear to have sunk in.

Left his (dirty) underpants on the back of a dining chair. I wouldn't mind if had they been flung there in a fit of passion, but I suspect they were left in his work trousers when he took them off yesterday

OOOOH Madness!!

Top of the linen basket here. :-/

My dh's clothes stay on the floor, until he trips up in them. I never wash them. He does his own wash, purely as I will not tolerate him treating me like his maid.

DH learned after they flew out of the window a few times.

My dp does this too!!!

Anything I find on the floor I fling at the bottom of his wardrobe, and eventually he runs out of clean underwear and clothes. The first time this happened I explained to him that I will happily wash what's in the laundry basket, and will happily put away his clean clothes. But I will not sort through trying to decipher weather its clean or dirty.

He's getting better!

Thanks for the replies - have made me chuckle!

Am glad I'm not the only one

We have a 'ontopofthechestofdrawersrobe' here Still, it makes it easy to periodically scoop and dump in the washing basket which is RIGHT NEXT TO THE CHEST OF DRAWERS.

I have a floordrobe...

My oh puts his underwear and socks roughly a metre away from the laundry basket.AAAAARGH.

When my DH does this I lift everything up and leave them on his pillow so that he can't go to bed without dealing with the pile (and I get to make a point).

To be fair he rarely does it now, only when he is really tired, but the laundry basket is 1 metre from his side of the bed so there is no excuse.

My DH used to do this. I used to pick up his clothes and wash them until I realised what a twat I was being.

I told him that I was only washing what was in the laundry basket.
I threw anything left on the floor in a pile, on his side of the bed, so it didn't clutter up the whole room and annoy me.
It took about 4 days for him to realise he would run out of underwear one day and since then everything goes in the basket. Job done.

Step over them, he'll eventually pick them up when he has none left!!

My dh takes his socks off and throws them in the laundry all bundled up, I refuse to wash them, if he leaves the arms of his shirts rolled I also won't wash them. It's not my 'job' and finally he's got the idea!!

Sometimes I'm so glad I live alone.

some fabulous tips ladies...

oh will be surprised indeed to see his kecks hanging out of a tree

I used to fling DH's wellies down the garden.

He was a farmer at the time and he'd leave his wellies right by the back door, so you'd have to climb over them to get out of the house. (He's got big feet).

I only did it twice and he got the message.

I quite liked the wellie wanging.

Argh! I have one of those men too. I will now only wash what is in the laundry basket.
DH was rustling about in the bedroom the other day, I went in and he had tidied. I could actually see the floor on his side of the bed - no shoes, no dirty clothes. It was lovely. A few hours later he stripped off to get in to bed, and yep, dumped his clothes on the floor again!

This is also the man that leaves the cupboard doors in the kitchen open, leaves little squares of used tissue on the back of the toilet cistern rather than putting it down the toilet or in the bin, and makes a half hearted attempt at cleaning the kitchen after a meal (randomly leaves a couple of dishes, only wipes down some of the benches,leaves cups to drain the right way up, never goes anywhere near the cooker top with a cloth!)

By the way, the used tissue has only been used on his nose, not his arse!

oooh ifatfirst I think your man and mine are twins! how much effort does it take to close a bloody cupboard door! I feel I am amongst friends xx

I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one with a DH like this. It drives me mad! Especially now that we have moved flat and in our new bedroom he is insisting on sleeping on the side of the bed nearest the wardrobe. All his clothes get dumped at the side of the bed. So every morning, when I need to get my clothes that hang neatly in the wardrobe, I have to climb all over his dirty boxers and socks within socks he wears two pairs of socks all the time!
