I have just been upstairs and found a basket full of DS1's clothes. Some, if not all, I have not seen him wear since I last washed, dried, folded them up and put them in his room to put away. He has form for putting things to wash instead of away in his drawers. These are clothes that have not been worn at all, not things that could have been worn again. I have told him over and over again not to do it. I have told him to put things away in the right place. I have stopped putting things away for him and this is the result. I have told him I will stop washing his clothes if he doesn't start putting them away in drawers instead of away on the floor.
Also, he has a tub full of messy clothes. Clothes which were perfectly fine until he got glue/paint/oil on them because he wouldn't change as he "won't get them messy." I did the washing yesterday and discovered a fairly new pair of trousers now ruined as he got paint and glue on them and didn't tell me.
I really could cry.
This has come on top of him leaving the freezer not shut properly for the 3rd time in a month and having to throw some food away. He is now banned from going near the freezer at all.
What can I do about the clothes situation? He complains he has none (he does) but I have told him if he put them in the right place he would know where they are (instead of all shoved in one drawer) and would have more to wear if he didn't keep ruining them.
I am
at the length of this but it is gettling me down.
