Years ago, someone on here posted about how her newly married but untrained husband dumped his clothes on the bathroom floor.  She pointed out she was his wife, not his mother, and dirty clothes go in the laundry bin. Pocket contents do not.
Every now and again when I have to call an engineer to clear the washing machine pump of yet another golf tee I remind OH about the pocket rules.  The last time tho it was also one of my thick, elastic covered hairbands.......
Husbands and washing machines should never be mixed….. unless you love pink! Three times hubby has “accidentally “ dyed loads of my whites a horrible shade of pink by washing them with red bedding, shirts or socks!  Do not let husbands do white washing……
We have division of labour here. Dirty washing is sorted by us all into one of 3 bins - whites and lights; black and blue; the rest and I then look after the washing machine cycles. OH hangs it up to dry and irons it.
My OH does his fair share of the washing and even remembers to get it out of the machine when I put a load in and forget about it. He does the ironing too! But he still will still throw in the odd woollen (even though they never go in the washing bin) and will overlap things with other things to dry.
Don't pay stupid prices for things just because it's labelled as organic or environmentally friendly. We've just come back from a rather up-market garden centre where we saw a pack of 10 oversized lolly sticks for plant labels at £4.50 (they were tied togeth with twine), 3 slate plant labels about 3" x 1 1/2" also stuck to lolly sticks at £15, and a bag of hedgehog food for £7. Food for other creatures at similar prices is also available.
