I'm Boycotting Underwear!!!

[korbbec]

I don't mind the undies on the floor as much as I mind getting clobbered in the face everytime I try to push the door open and it bounces back at me. Or not being able to fit my ample butt between the sink and door to blow dry without the door knob going places. My SO does his own laundry so I just leave it- I disappears every 10 days or so. If we are having company I scoop it up and plop it in the bedroom on his side of the bed.

Should I send my DH over to try and train him?

 

[cybrkitn]

This is reminding me of a video conference DH and I attended called Love & Respect. The gentleman who was speaking was pretty comical. Here is what he had said:

If a woman says she doesn't have anything to wear, it means she doesn't have anything new to wear.

If a man says he doesn't have anything to wear, it means he doesn't have anything clean to wear.

How true, how true!

Would ya?

I thought I had done a decent job of training him. I never used to do his laundry at all, but is seems I keep taking over more & more of his chores.

The one thing I will not ever, ever do is clean his bathroom. I'll burn the house down first.

your dh clearly has too many pairs. Cut down. Don't let him have more then 5. Not as much pileup that way

 

[sugarpie]

Well, today my husband is on his last clean pair.

And did I mention that they are what I will call 'novelty' underwear? He's wearing gag gift underwear today.

He still hasn't said anything about the lack of clean underwear, and he still hasn't moved them from the bathroom to the hamper.

I'm half expecting them to get up & walk into the laundry room by themselves.

I say you wash them in PINK DYE..and tell him that he has to wear them becaue there is no more $$$ for 1 month in the budget to buy more

He has his own BATHROOM? Does he clean it?

Yes, he has his own bathroom. We have 4.

He does clean it, occasionally. I draw the line at cleaning his bathroom.

When my dh and I were first married I did that with his dirty dishes that he never could seem to make go to the dishwasher or even the sink... So I started gathering them up and put them in black garbage bag in a large rubber made tub in his closet- he never questioned the presence of the tub- and I just kept depositing his random dirty dishes and things into the bucket-

then he came home and asked where the glasses all went- and I laughed and said to check his closet- he was a bit perplexed then checked the closet and was upset that I did that- it was quite stinky and gross by this point...

I just said I guess that they used the legs that were supposed to take them to the dishwasher and took themselves to the closet instead...

He isn't perfect with it now- but the point got across that unlike his mom who slaved after her husband and 3 sons- his wife would not be doing the same... and that I expected him to at least clean up after himself.

I do use this tactic with the kids from time to time... nothing like giving each kid one plate, bowl, glass and set of silverware (thanks to the plastic colored stuff from walmart) and then not washing them if they don't make it into the dishwasher... of course you have to hide all the real dishes for this to work- but this last week I worked every day and wasn't home to clean up- last night all the kids were complaining that I hadn't done the dishes during the 60 hours I worked- I just shrugged and asked if they new how to run the dishwasher...

I refuse to clean his bathroom and the boys bathroom...that is Dh job since they continually choose to pee all over the place....

One of the perks of only having girls, I guess.

You think he'd care if he had to wear pink underwear?!?

 

[disdanny]

No, No, No. With kids you tell them you are giving them away. Then you start puting them in a box somewhere so they really think they are gone.

Works like a charm in our house.....

I hear that's the plan that Britney Spears' mom used.

How did I miss this thread? Next time if I haven't shown up at a thread like this within a few hours can you all please PM me. I really feel that I am slipping.

Right on. Underwear are overrated.

And what a surprise that you would be here and with that comment!

Where is Princess89?

Undergarments are your area of expertise, if I'm not mistaken.

Exactly...so why wasn't I informed if I didn't see the thread on my own.

 

[sugarpie]

He's home, he's showered & changed, and he's going commando.

The gag gift underwear have been added to the pile, yet still no mention of it.

I'm starting to think this might be our big fork & spoon.
