Background: we both work. Half the week I leave the house just after 5am and when I am gone early, dh gets the kids to school, he also does most of the cooking. In return, I do all of the house work and most of the washing and "organise" the dcs' lives.

Last night, I had just gone to bed (having just sorted and folded the washing) when dh comes in and says "when you sort loads of washing, can you make sure that you put both socks of a pair in the same load" (dirty washing just goes in a big laundry basket).

I replied jokily that he was lucky I didn't shove the socks up his nose - he said he was just trying to be "helpful". He then cosied up for some groping and I told him to entertain himself with a pair of socks.

So my question to you is AIBU to want to insert his socks where the sun don't shine or should I have treated this as a helpful suggestion?

I'm fairly sure that MIL would not have paired socks before they went into the washing machine so hopefully I am safe from that particular comment .

MamaLazarou, it would be fair to say that whilst not pissed off, I was a little miffed. This was not specifically because of socks but because I work long hours and do not appreciate dh dreaming up additional tasks for me which (a) he could do himself and (b) display a complete lack of appreciation for what I do.
