Doesn't it seem more logical to wash just your own clothes? I mean, if kids come into the picture I understand that would change things...
we just throw everything into one basket and whoever does it does it..
i ruin her stuff sometimes and she doesn't like it..

well, we may be stupid, but you guys are the ones always throwing them
in the basket... we really can't be held accountable for what happens after that..

I'm not throwing mine in the basket anymore. I'll just leave them on top of my dresser so I can hand wash them. And I will not be held accountable next time the ink gets all over HIS clothes. :wink:

What do you have to do differently when you wash a bra?

They're a little bit more delicate than shirts, pants, etc. When he threw mine in the wash Tuesday, one of straps wrapped around the agitator of the washing machine. It is now all stretched out and cannot be worn.

The logical solution is that your wife should stop wearing a bra.

We divide household jobs up, and after turning a few of her white things pink ("well, my red Cardinal shirts needed washing too, honey"), I have been banned from doing the laundry. I don't like her in my kitchen; she doesn't like me in her laundry room. Although I am responsible for emptying my own pockets before an item goes in the hamper - so it's my fault if something I forgot gets laundered. And I generally fold and hang up the clothes afterwards (everybody's - not just my own).

EMPTY YOUR POCKETS BEFORE TOSSING LAUNDRY INTO THE BASKET

This should be a poll regarding laundry & pockets. Should the person doing the laundry have to go through every pocket, pants & shirts, to make sure they are empty. Or should the person tossing the laundry into the basket have the presence of mind to empty all pockets?
It's your job as the wife to check said pockets.
