DH and I have a shared laundry bin and we both put on a mixed load as and when. All very equal.

Last night I was shaking out one of his jumpers to put it on the rack to dry. DH stopped me, when I asked why he said that I "don't do it right" before correcting himself to say I "don't line the seams of the jumper up when I put it on the rack" Confused

I said that I have never heard of seams having to line up (What seams? Line up where?)

I added that he doesn't even bother to turn my tops back the right way round before putting them out to dry (I wash them inside out); he replied that he does. I said no you don't; then he said that he treats my clothes the way I treat them (supposedly with not as much care and attention?) as I clearly don't mind if my tops are inside out or not seam-aligned. Confused

Did I mention the Daily Mail is a Shithead Newspaper?

So, AIBU to quietly withdraw from washing his clothes any more? To in future, only put my clothes in the machine, and hang them out with as much care as I fancy?!

OP this is why I appear frequently on threads stating the men and older teenage boys in my family all do their own washing and ironing.

No arguments in our households over not turning things the right way etc.

Omg u people really line up seams?🙄

If you're both doing your share of the laundry, why not do his the way he likes and yours the way you like? Why the passive aggressive withdrawing? Are you expecting your marriage to last when you behave like this? Talk to him.

I agree with him about the seams.

I LOVE your witty username. It's just so "now".

I do all the laundry in the house. Even pre children it was always up to me. I don’t get the mumsnet seperate laundry thing but if he’s critisising you YANBU.

I used to turn his balled up socks the right way before washing them until I found a wank sock Envy. I’m not making that mistake again!!
