To expect DP to put the towels in the right pile in the towel press.... hand towels on left... bath towels on right!!!

[Dabbles]

HE just dumps them in the middle!!! grrrrr.... it's not rocket science!!! tis drivign me mad!! SO mad I said I woudl start a thread about him!!!! lol...

dabbles, it is a man thing.

they cannot follow instructions.

it doesnt matter if you tell him 10000 times, he still will not understand.
no, not rocket science yet still sooo hard for them.

pity him, and do it yourself, you know what they say about doing a job properly! do it yourself.
really, sympathies hun, it is frustrating i know.

bloody hell
Don't ever look in my airing cupboard

Try living with 3 teenagers.

Is this for real?

It MUST be a piss take (please!!!)

was just about to post the same thing CD. Surely there is no one for whom this is a serious problem in their life...?

look, not a serious problem, but it winds me up... i have asked him a hundred times... oh bollox. u all think i am mad....lol

Do you know what I do with towels? (of all sizes, and sheets, and flannels)

I open the airing cupboard and shove them on the top of the pile

In no order
at all

YABU that is too much to expect of a man, really it is.

If I saw dh putting a towel away in a cupboard, I would film it. I've never seen him do it.

Want to know what irritates the hell out of me though? When he pulls "big" towels out of the cupboard because he needs the big ones and they may not be on the top. So he yanks out what he wants and the rest falls to the floor.

It stays there on the floor for me to put back. Now that's a real man. That's what they're like.

I could go on and on and on...

well mine don't even make it to the airing cupboard - have never ever used it!

they lie on top of the stairs... or stuffed in a spare drawer in the spare room...

Hey ho - and yes we all think you are mad

lol. you are not being unreasonable. you are being neurotically obsessive. Tell me, do you iron pants?

Adding my support

but cd, what if you had a bath towel emergency, and could only find hand towels? Lives could be on the line!

wtf's a towel press?!

Somewhere there is a mumsnetter taking a photo of her towel storage and putting it on her profile.

I am psychic.

It's an airing cupboard!

my dp doesn't even know where wash basket is let alone washing machine i would be over the moon if he put something away even in wrong side you sound like you have a good man dont knock it he's trying at least

pmsl!

DH is very good at put a load of towels on to wash.

DH is very good at shoving em in the tumble dryer.

DH can even, occasionally, remember to get them out of the tumble dryer.

If we do get this far, however, DH thinks nothing of leaving the clean dry pile screwed up in one big jumble pile.

so sorry you are going through this x
