Check and Mate.....i win
Today is dh's half day at work.... So he got home at 2.
(On the phone)
Hey, where should I put this clothes, there's too much from the drier to fit in the basket. Should I put it on bs4's bed?
Well, whose clothes is it?
Its a mix, ss's and it looks like yours and the boys.
Well, put ss's on his bed and put the rest on bs4's.
SS folds his own clothes now?
Well, I don't see a reason why he can't...... Long pause to see if dh would say anything...... Or you could fold it for him.
Well, I guess I'll have to separate it cause I already mixed it together.
Trying to the bitter end to get me to do some of the work. Sure, just dump three loads of ss's clothes on my sons bed so I can fold it all tonight after work. Heaven forbid you or SS break a sweat doing it. But I won. The clothes are washed and dried and I didn't lift a finger.

Lol nice! My DH doesn't do
Lol nice!
My DH doesn't do laundry. His idea of doing laundry is taking the baskets down to the laundry room. He's very "out of sight, out of mind". I know this about him though and I don't mind it. He definitely does his share of other household chores and cooking, so it doesn't bug me
Me too. I could absolutely
Me too. I could absolutely see this happening at my house.
I do not do DH's laundry.

I stopped doing my kids laundry when they were about 12-13ish I guess.
I NEVER did SS's laundry.
I do my laundry, SO's and
I do my laundry, SO's and household stuff like towels, well we take turns. SO is responsible for his kids, my kids have to do their own and I will dumb baskets on their beds (dd will sometimes go too long and she gets dirty on her bed too). I refuse to do his kids, I don't even do my own kids I sure as s$*t ain't doing his.
I would almost bet that he is
I would almost bet that he is going to put ALL the clothes on your DS4's bed!
It will get promptly dumped

I know its a silly thing to have battle over.....but if I focused on the big stuff (ss's suspension for example) I think I would go nuts.
But even when I really think about this one small laundry issue. How sad is it that dh wasn't even going to fold the clothes. He was going to leave it all for me. And when finally pushed is still only going to deal with ss's and leave the load with the boys and my clothes for me to do. How about fold all the clothes since I do it every other week? No, that's not an option? Then he will honestly be confused when I say I feel like the maid....as he really does feel no obligation to help with any cleaning or upkeep of our home.
He phoned you at work to ask
He phoned you at work to ask where to put dry clothes? He can't work out whose clothes are whose? Or make the mental leap to work out where to put them? Unbelievable.
His intent was to leave them
His intent was to leave them for me to fold...and was seeing where I wanted them. He had no intention of sorting and folding them until I made it clear I wasn't going to fold ss's clothes.
Your DH wins the Asshatery
Your DH wins the Asshatery Award for laundry!!! }:)
I can't believe a grown ass
I can't believe a grown ass man needs to call his wife and ask her how to do laundry??
My 30-some-year-old BIL had
My 30-some-year-old BIL had to ask his little sister (who was still in HS) how to run a dryer when he was living in my MIL's basement.
Of course, there are more things wrong with that statement than just him not knowing how to run a dryer!
I'm a big fan of outsourcing.
I'm a big fan of outsourcing. To me it's just not worth the headache to argue about certain things. When DH refused to do any housework I hired a housekeeper. I really think that saved our marriage. When DH was working crazy hours and I didn't have help with DD3 (2 at the time) and I was going crazy I hired a nanny. That took so much pressure off of me.
Can you take the clothes to a dry cleaners or laundry mat that has laundry service? I used to do that we were in NYC and we didn't have a washer/dryer. It was pretty inexpensive. I think it was like $1.49/lb. Maybe if DH had to actually pay for the service he might have a better appreciation for the work you do.
