To think this isn't good enough

[HappyHippy45]

Semi light hearted.
DH has been doing mine and his laundry for a few years now. Firstly when we were running a business together and I stamped my feet to get him to share the household workload more evenly and then since I became disabled and wasn't able to work or do housework.
Should he not be able to do this task correctly by now?
There is a wardrobe full of our clothes inside out and higgledy piggledy.
I'm slowly recovering from a relapse of MS and am able to help out more but I am loathe to use my precious energy sorting it out.
It's making me very twitchy seeing his clothes in this state.
Why can't he just do it properly?

He looks at that and thinks "That's a quality job. I'm happy with that."

Remind me to never ask him to do any work around my house.

No, just no! I do the laundry in our house and that photo brings out the OCD in me

Some people would be grateful he'd even tried to help, others would be horrified at the state he's left it in... You're going to get a mixed bag.

That said, they are his clothes...

His clothes he can arrange any way he likes. I’d expect higher standards for my clothes though.

I'm obviously like your dp because I couldn't give a shit about laundry. I was it hang in up to dry and then stuff it in a drawer or wardrobe, I Daley iron unless I really have to. I'm impressed he got it on a hanger tbh 😂

@disquieted1
You made me lol with that.......and your probably right too!

Well he's going to wear it, leave him to it.

That was supposed to say, I wash it, hang it up to dry. Not, I was it hang in up to dry!

@frecklefox
Mine all used to look like this too until I became well enough to deal with them myself.

That's like how my dd hangs up her school uniform

Looks exactly like my DP's work.

That photo makes me twitch

I suppose at least it’s clean and dry?

I’m not well enough to do my share of housework etc and it does make me feel like I can’t really moan too much, as I don’t think I’d want to be the one working full time and having to do most of the housework and then getting told off for not doing it properly.

By comparison my adult ds has been responsible for doing his own laundry for about 6 years. He has pretty low standards but he does manage to correctly put his clothes on a hanger. probably because I taught him too when he was young

When I was well I used to have to sort all my clothes out that he'd hung up. Such a waste of my energy given he should have done it properly to begin with.
I don't sort his out unless I have an uncontrollable urge to "sort."

Him doing the laundry wasn't him "helping out" it was meant to be "doing his share."

I’d happily hang something up like that. I hate hate hate hanging up clothes, I generally stuff them in a drawer as much as I can get away with. It’s such a boring job.

@HeckyPecky
I don't tell him off. I fully appreciate how much his workload has increased.
I'm just amazed that a man in his mid 50s can't put a shirt on a hanger properly.

I mean I'm not fussy about perfect clothes etc. We don't iron. Clothes get hung up to dry and shirts go on hangers, the rest get chucked in drawers.

You have made me have a similar reaction to nails going down a chalk board. Teeth on edge. I actually don't think I could bear to look at it either!!!!!

Aaaahhh!!!!

FFS this is def man from mars women from venus kind of stuff

I'm beginning to worry that my DH is in a bigamous relationship - with you.

There can't be two of them, surely?

LTB

What colour was it originally?

@Nothisispatrick
I hate hanging up clothes too. It's such a chore but like most things i hate doing I still try to do it to the best of my ability.

Oh, I have one as well , close in age, he'll never learn
I cannot leave clothes like this...it's painful, I feel like the clothes are in pain

@Mundotothemax

I think they are everywhere.

Your DH clearly went to exactly the same school of "How To Hang Up Clothes" as my DH - his skills with a coat hanger have to be seen to be believed
