Am I angry?? No not really I try to find the humor in this all but some days it just gets to me...Laundry...my least favorite thing to do. Three people (do I really count? not so much) so Ill bring that down to 2....I have mulled this over and have come to the conclusion I have to lock the closet! Why have you changed yet again for the umpteenth time?! Ok let me explain...she takes a tshirt off cause shes "hot" but...replaces it with another shirt and a flannel over shirt forget the sweatshirt I just put on her Noooo which by the way is laying across the bed I ask are you going to put that back on now too? Oh I forgot she states simply (do I expect anything more no) But dam Im up to 7 loads of laundry this week!...and its only thursday. *head down shaking* Ok deep breath another 3 more step back find my daggum funny bone dust myself off here we gooooo! Ok Im done! Anybody have more Laundry Bitchin tales to tell? Just add on!

OH LIZA!!! I was cracking up over the fish oil story! My hubby is worse than mom--changes clothes, too much, leaves all kinds of sh*t in ALL of his pockets (I HATE CARGO PANTS ! GRRRR!

Today is a the big laundry day here, can't put it off much longer!

Oh Mar I feel your pain! Tri level here I love my house but these stairs need a sledge hammer now! I went from a ranch house in LA to this! Dam I shoulda got another ranch!

My next house is going to have the bedrooms and laundry room all on one level. I have to cary the laundry from upstairs down (bi-level) then from the washer to the garage where the dryer is or upstairs to hang out. I can really aympathise with the tissue issue. I am guilty of it as well. The latest here. Blue rubber gloves my son leaves in his work pants. Not too bad for the washer but what a mess it made the dryer. Speaking of laundry...Nah it can wait till tomorrow. We do at least one load a day, mostly two here.

TORP, NOW you've gone and done it!!! You said...

Didya hafta say THAT! OMG! What is it with the tissues?! Mad but LOL at the same time! I hate the Tissues in the laundry! UGH!

Laundry - one of my LEAST favorite tasks! My future DIL takes care of here & my slovenly son's stuff - she even washes and folds some of the "common" stuff like towels and will even fold some of the "gramma" stuff for me. My husband does his own, so I am left with mine and Mom's laundry and the household stuff (sheets, drapes, towels, etc.).

Needless to say, even though they are self-sufficient, I STILL am holding the "sh*t" end of the stick, yaknowhatImean? I have become an absolute laundry chemist with certain regimes for certain stains, etc. I feel like I have acquired a Doctorate Degree in Laundry Stains from the School of Hard Knocks!!

The one pleasant part (and I am pretty sure it's only ONE...) is when I remove an item from the dryer that was previously soiled/stained with ground in you-know-what (Mom gets "creative" sometimes...) and it is fluffy, white, unstained and even smells passable!! I enjoy a small "Tide" commercial-style "Damn, I'm good" moment before going on with the folding, etc.

What I wanna know is this: if those folks (whoever THEY are) can make a robot vacuum cleaner like the Roomba, why the heck can't they come up with a laundry robot that takes the stuff to the washer, washes it, puts it in the dryer, then folds and delivers it to the appropriate closet in the house? I mean, is this too much to ask from the people who brought us Star Wars?

May the Force be with y'all!

Hubby calls me the laundry queen-cause I am constantly doing somethin with it.

Can so relate to the "tissue", Moms the same way and her wash is done separately too

My teenager does her own laundry. Most of my husband's clothing goes to the dry cleaner (Starch dress shirts? Yougottabekidding!) I do at least two loads a day of her laundry. I do about four loads (mostly because they're color sorted) for my entire family a week.

But it's the ironing that's driving me crazy. I've tried buying her things that don't need pressing to look neat, but she refuses to wear them. Ugh.

LOL BG Are you sure you don't have a teenager there? Kind of reminds me of going up to the Yukon and Alaska with Mike's then 16 year old daughter. We were camping and I didn't plan on doing laundry more than once a week if that. I found out in a hurry that teens go through cloths much quicker than us. Jeans in the cool morning, shorts later, long sleeves, short sleeves, different long pants in the evening, get dressed differently to go "out" . That was a long time ago but I still remember all the clothes=laundramats. Guess I am lucky=weekdays HS does laundry=at least 1 load of wet stuff. Mon. and Wed. they do a load of clothes too. Actually Wed. they change the bed and usually get both laundry baskets empty.(this colour is sure hard to see Gypsy

Hmm laundry tales....nite mares more like it

Last year I did a load of wash Dried them, go to fold all I can smell was FISH....hunny did you go fishin? no he replies....I REwash the entire load....still smells like fish and stronger...no clue why....wash 3rd 4th 5th some items getting better and now can be dried but others uhhh well they "smell even stronger".....search online get rid fish smell, use entire bottle vinegar..ok that took care of all but ONE of hubbies shirts which has an "oil" stain from the fish oil pill he "forgot" to take at work.....UGH...could of strangled him at the time for all that extra work but now it makes me laugh & say DAH why didn't you check all the clothes after the 1ST wash & dry......*lol*
