...to think DH shrunk my jumper on purpose so I stop asking him to do the washing???

[YaddaYaddaYadda]

I'm always asking DH to put a load of washing on as I run out of the door at 6.30am... and he never does and yesterday we had a petty argument about it. Then today I came home and he'd done the washing then says 'but I had a little accident'. The 'little accident' is washing my favorite purple wool jumper in the machine at 40degress It's now only slightly too big for my 14month old dd. The thing is I'm sure it wasn't in the pile of washing I left on the floor and a tiny paranoid part of me thinks he did it on purpose so I stop asking him to do the washing...

simple, he buys you a new jumper. He will learn

Make him buy you a new one, and carry on making him do his share of the washing. He will soon learn that when he has an accident (whether intentionally or not) it will cost him as he has to replace the item.

sorry about your fave jumper though. I get very attached to favourite items so would be gutted!

count yourself lucky... the first time dh put a wash on (first time in a long time) he didn't put all the stuff in properly, so a bit was breaking the seal, so he flooded the kitchen.

Yes.

Oldest trick in the book.

And they think we don't know ...

My DH tried this. He put all my handwash only, indian cotton clothes on a boil wash. At the time, this was 95% of my clothes. He used to hate all my hippy clothes so I was convinced he did it deliberately. No I think he's just incompetent, but I haven't given up making him do housework, but it is an uphill struggle.

I would suggest to him he needs MUCH more practice and could start by doing all his own washing from now on.

Oh and that he should bye you a new one!

Don't they always do thing wrong so we never ask them again.
F*ing men.
Sorry, mine just really annoyed me........

"Oh well, never mind. You can replace it next week. Next time you wash pure wool, remember it has to go on a wool wash."

Yanbu. Nothing else to say, is there really? Vengeance would be petty, more's the pity.

No, YANBU, they do it all the time. Sneaky feckers.

YANBU - replace it out of HIS spending money, and replace it with something twice the value. Tell him you will keep doing that until he gets it right!!!!

This happens to me about once every 6 months, or in other words whenever DH does washing.
