Inside out clothes in the washing basket

[Ishoulddomore]

Why? Why can’t my family do this? It’s so simple, You put your clothes in the basket. Please turn them the right side out so I can wash them without having to do this. So annoying.

I voted yabu because you are supposed to wash most clothes inside out.

the exception is knickers & socks. They need to be right side.

What? Why on earth is this a male/female thing?

Same as my house. Im washing, ironing and clothes shopping. he is food shop, cooking and kitchen cleaning.

I wash everything inside out to save wear and tear on my clothes. I’m sure it makes a difference

You don't have to do this. Just wash things as they're put in the basket. When dry, return to owner the same way round. They will sort it when getting dressed.

(Although, I prefer to wash things inside out as I believe you get less bobbling?)

Just wash them whatever way round they are ?
and don’t put them away either
stop making work for yourself

I wash things exactly as I find them. Including my husband's socks when they're still in nasty tight little balls. And I dry them like that too - it's his problem, not mine.

Are your kids old enough to wash their own clothes?

Then don't do it.

I’m a man, just trying to figure this out. Perhaps this isn’t the best place to find out this out for me. I’m fed up asking in other places that are sexist and tell me get my wife to do it or crack on if she won’t do it😩

I wash and hang up clothes whatever way they are in the washing basket, some are inside out others are not. It really doesn’t make much difference.

So don't turn them

Clothes can be washed inside out. They can be ironed inside out. They can be hung up inside out.

It's not bothering them don't let it bother you.

I’m not, they are

So do I.

It's better for knitwear to be washed inside out.

Wow, does it matter who is doing the washing?

That is so annoying

It's nothing to do with you being a man. Anyone can wash clothes. There's nothing to figure out.
Sometimes I wash my husband's clothes. Sometimes he washes mine. We wash them however they are, inside out or right way out. Then when they're dry the owner of the clothes puts them the right way out for themselves. Simple.
(My children wash their own clothes but yours might be very young? If they are teens they can certainly be washing their own.)

Me

yes

My other half is a health professional and wears scrubs for work. They're ingeniously designed so there is no inside out: both ways are identical. E.g., the trousers fasten with a drawstring that comes right out of the top edge of the waistband, and there's a pocket on both inside and outside. Presumably this is to make life easier for hospital laundries.

Unfortunately, hers are washed at home (she works in primary care) and she manages to put them in the laundry basket with one leg in and one leg out, almost every time!!! 😫

Oh do bore off!! I quite enjoy doing laundry and ironing and did all of ours, even though my DH had done his own ironing when he lived with his parents. I had no desire to mow the lawn or do any of the DIY tasks my DH did. He also did all of the cooking while I did the dishes. Are we not allowed to chose our tasks these days?

Some of you might just find you enjoy life a bit more if you stop obsessing about this nonsense.

Well get them to do their own laundry then.

Exactly this. Unimportant.

I have the opposite problem.

I wash everything inside out to cut down on bobbling and so it stands half a chance if I were to drop it while hanging it to dry.

I keep asking mine to turn them inside bloody out to save me having to do it!

Who cares why they do it? Just wash it as they leave it.
