Slacker City

My husband does all the laundry in our home. He collects, sorts, washes and dries it all. He does not, however, put it away. He doesn't think it is important because it just gets worn again, whether it is in a pile on the couch or in the closet where it belongs. He even likes laying on it like a pillow. (So do our cats.) I don't like it in big piles on our only couch but I hate folding clothes so much that I usually just let it sit there.....forever. Yesterday I finally started putting all the clothes away and noticed that there were a lot of dryer sheets. One dryer sheet for every load of laundry that was never put away. How many were there? Fourteen. Fourteen loads of laundry that never got put away. I feel like such a slacker. I always thought I would be such a super housekeeper when I finally grew up, but apparently the chores you hated as a child you still hate as an adult. Who new?

  1. My goal is to make all the money so my husband can stay home and clean and cook and take care of the house, so I don't have to.

    Right now I just figure if I rearrange things often enough people will think the house is clean.

  2. I hate doing the washing myself. It is easy enough putting it into the machines, it is the folding and putting away that is the drag. I have a basket filled with socks, but however much I hate folding and putting away, I detest matching socks. So I will join you on the slaker settee. See you are not alone!

    Awww put it this way - at least the laundry gets done! LOL! And they make fluffier pillows and smell ever so nice.

    I-r-o-n-i-n-g.

    Arrrrrrgh!!!! I absolutely hate it! If I could get away with it I would...

    I'm going to join you too! I hope your settee is big enough for another slacker (so long as I get to sit next to the cats...!)

    :-)

  5. Kitty, Amos is the cat to share your lap. He is needy and loves women.
    Ann, my socks are divided into big socks and small socks and shoved into grocery bags that hang from the doorknob

  6. HI Jane :o)

    I love washing but oh hate putting it away. The piles make it to the bedrooms but prefer to sit on top of the drawers instead of in them! I agree, the piles make lovely pillows for me and the pussycats hehe blah to ironing too!
