I'm guessing a lot of people will say NO.

It's really grating on me.

Did he arrive in a time machine from the 1950s?

HermioneKipper · 17/10/2021 19:37

What? If my husband tried this he’d be told very swiftly what he could do.

Tell your husband that he’s to be responsible for his own things. This is an outrageous cheek from him

DeathMetalMum · 17/10/2021 19:37

No, if its in the basket one of us will put the wash on and sort it. I generally do it more often but dp can also operate the washing machine without any trouble.

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 17/10/2021 19:38

Ahahaha no fucking way.
Even when i had 3 months garden leave DH did his half of the washing amd cleaning.

We do washing together and put our own clothes away.
He irons his stuff and mine.

snoopyfloops · 17/10/2021 19:38

Oh gosh OP. Please don't debase yourself for this idiot. There should be no item of his life admin that you are responsible for.

Sciurus83 · 17/10/2021 19:39

And what has he said when you told him to sort his own shit because you aren't his mother and he isn't six?

pickingdaisies · 17/10/2021 19:39

Oh do tell, what is this very exhausting stuff he does after work? Place your bets folks. Cycling?
OP, just make it very clear that he is responsible for getting himself ready for work.

PicsInRed · 17/10/2021 19:39

Keep the clothes and throw the whole man away.

girafferafferaffe · 17/10/2021 19:39

He would be laughed out of the house if he requested that and he knows it. He deals with his own stuff. I wash everyone's clothes because it's easier but in batches of lights and darks. If he wants something specific washed he does it. I never iron anything.

Muttly · 17/10/2021 19:39

It's very frustrating. I'm just at home more, because I work from home and he has a very hectic schedule outside of the home, so he comes home and just crashes.

That is not on OP. Being a grown up requires work outside of work. He is taking you for a ride and taking you for granted too.

Haha no. He just eats and then sleeps. That's it.

I do most of the laundry but he would never complain if clothes weren't clean.

girafferafferaffe · 17/10/2021 19:40

Haha no. He just eats and then sleeps. That's it.

Sounds great. When can I move in Grin

wheresmyshoe · 17/10/2021 19:40

Fuck that

JetRocket · 17/10/2021 19:41

HAHAHA Angry 100% no and my DH has a ‘big important job’ too, works 60+ hours a week very hectic. Doesn’t stop him being an adult at home though.

He obviously must be used to multi tasking and managing his schedule I’m sure he can manage to fit in a load of laundry

Dozer · 17/10/2021 19:41

WTF

IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves · 17/10/2021 19:42

No.
And if he ever told me off he'd better do it from a safe distance!

He tells you off. That's outrageous. I suggest you tell him to sort his own stuff out because as of right now, you are done playing mummy.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 17/10/2021 19:43

Haha no. He just eats and then sleeps. That's it.

Are you 100% sure that's not a toddler you've got there OP? Does he make you feed him and do aeroplane noises too? Was his last work bonus actually a gold star?

toolazytothinkofausername · 17/10/2021 19:43

You've gone from being his wife to being his mother. Oh dear. Don't be surprised when he asks you to wipe his ass.

AlexaShutUp · 17/10/2021 19:43

Fuck, no. My husband is a competent adult.

DunderMifflinSalesRep · 17/10/2021 19:44

God no. And I work part time in a job WFH where I have to do very little whilst he runs a company with a multi million pound turnover. We both put washing on when we find the basket full and he does his own ironing, the kids ironing, and even my ironing. I bloody hate ironing.

Have my first LTB.

MrsTerryPratchett · 17/10/2021 19:44

get told off?

I cannot imagine the look of terror DH would have on his face if he attempted to 'tell me off'. He values his testicles so he wouldn't.

But yours would. And is seemingly still in possession of his balls so why are you putting up with this?

MajorCarolDanvers · 17/10/2021 19:44

No because I married an adult who regards me as his partner.

AnotherMansCause · 17/10/2021 19:44

Hell no. When DH worked & I didn't, I did the laundry & ironed his shorts, & he was very grateful because he knew I would stop if he wasn't. He's a capable adult.

I definitely bite back and tell him to F off.

I mean I don't know if he ' tells me off '. He just gets really grumpy and has a go at me at 5 am and wakes me from my sleep and makes me feel like shit, if he can't find a clean shirt or socks.
