to think dh was being lazy (trivial)

[purplehandgang]

Ok so it was a lovely day yesterday so decided to strip the beds and wash and linedry them. I put 1st load on and prepared 2nd load. I than had to go out so told dh where 2nd load was.
I am a sahm so I do the laundry normally but he has lived on his own so should know what to do.
Anyway I came home several hours later and he said in a proud voice that he had put next load on.
An hour or so later this load finished so I went to peg it out. The line was empty. He had emptied the 1st load and left it in a laundry basket on the floor.
aibu to think this is just plain lazy.

Lazy and a knob. Tis would drive me mental.

Aaaaah! As does typo's.

*This

I would have seriously kicked off, what an idiot!

He left wet laundry sitting in a basket? WTF?

If it was dry laundry, I'd defend him to the death (and we will NOT talk about how much clean, dry laundry is in laundry baskets in my bedroom, thankyouverymuch). Wet laundry is a different story, though.

no - YANBU - what a lazy oh

You said to wash the second load but omitted to specifically tell him to peg out the first load - sadly some people need idiot instructions. YANBU and he's lazy.

He's a disgrace. How lazy and feckless can one adult be? Is this part if a plan to do the job so badly that you never ask again?

I hope you didn't peg out the first load?

Whilst he was definitely being lazy (or forgetful - did he explain himself eg did he mean to do it and forget?) I also found myself thinking that at least he did put the wash on - my DH would have forgotten to do it at all.

I am sometimes tempted to just not wash DH's stuff and see how long it takes him to notice ...

So what's his explanation? Apart from that he couldn't be bothered?

He got distracted apparently.

Wrap the damp laundry around him like Marley's chains, and make him read this thread. Only when he nods in agreement to every insult, slowly start untwining the chilly sheets from his cold, cold body.

Won't do it again.

alimonster I have often thought about not doing dh's washing but it's just not worth the agro, I would end up doing it anyway and would then be left with a mountain of washing!

He's a disgrace. How lazy and feckless can one adult be?

A disgrace? He didn't put the washing out, not exactly a massive deal

If he just got distracted then he really doesn't deserve to be insulted quite so much, annoying as it might be. (Unless of course this sort of thing happens every time you ask him to do something!) We've all done it.

A disgrace? He didn't put the washing out, not exactly a massive deal

It's not in itself, but he clearly knows whose job it is to not get distracted and sort this stuff out. I do think an adult abdicating household responsibilities like that is a disgrace. If it mattered to him he'd have done it.

He isn't lazy.
He was just conserving his energy.

I get distracted and forget to do things - don't think it's a biggy!

Tbh not sure I really believe distracted story. I do think that he sometimes (well most of the time) see laundry etc as my job. I work ad hoc days and last time I did washing up was left. I normally do it in the evening bu was budy doing work prep.

I put a colour wash on that included my work clothes and his work t-shirts. I thought I heard him open the washing machine but when I went in half hour later the door was shut, I emptied machine, took it to put on the dryer and lo and behold, he had taken his two work tops out and already hung them up leaving the rest of the washing in the machine.

I am seething, YANBU OP.

I do hope you pointed out the error of his ways Phephenson?
