My DH is pretty good about picking up after himself. He was the youngest of 9 kids, 8 of them boys and his mother taught them all to pick up after themselves. However, I think he was absent the day she taught him to do laundry. He had the idea that if it fit in the washer, there was nothing else to worry about. Why would anybody actually sort laundry..........? After ruining TWO of my dry clean only dresses, did he finally get the idea I was mad? Well, let me tell you.....he has a car that is his pride and joy. It is washed daily and waxed once week and stored in the winter and only driven on warm sunny Sundays with no rain in sight.......he came home from work to find his car in the driveway with the woman in charge of things (me) standing there with the garden hose and the sprayer on it. It was stated that he should leave the laundry alone or the car gets it! Sometimes, you just have to get their attention! And yes, he stays away from the laundry.
