To hang my bl**dy MIL...

.....for re-hanging my washing on the line.

It was a nice(ish) day for hanging out the washing so there I am, pegging it all out. MIL pops round, sees me finishing the last of the washing and precedes to unpeg and hang it out again.

Now, a question for MN. I honestly don't spend much time thinking about it. However, I tend to peg garments using the strongest part of the garment. So for a tee shirt I'll peg the seam at the arm/shoulder as this also minimises peg marks. But nope, MIL turn the tee upside down and pegs the bottom seam, which results in the tee drying out of shape as it then droops (plus peg marks 🙄).

So I call her out on her ludicrous behaviour. First why the hell she's re-hanging my washing and also that she's doing it incorrectly (for me). I should bite my lip but no-one can ever do anything right in her eyes.

"Oh I've been a housewife for over 30 years so know what I'm doing". I could've hung her out with the washing too. AIBU?

Some of you will really appreciate Ursus Wehrli. His laundry is near the end of this article.

😂😂 love that guy. I've got mild OCD and am organised but that's on another level!

Although that washing picture is exactly why I don't hang upside down. You'd 100% get peg marks on those Tee shirts for sure 😂

@ all the 'tops from the bottom' crew. What's your appraisal of the pegging here? Obviously I'm not judging all upside down hanging based on this photo but interested to know opinions.

I’d leave it all for her to hang out next time.
