pile of laundry still sitting there
Dh didn't notice the laundry and SS didn't ask him to do it.....so its still sitting there. Dh works all day today (he was off yesterday) and doesn't get in until bedtime so it so t get done today either. No idea what SS is doing for school uniforms, he must be re-wearing dirty clothes because we only bought him ten uniforms.
Its hard not to say anything.... But I'm not saying a word. The laundry room is off our bedroom and I can smell his nasty clothes....but I'm toughing it out. If I say anything it will become my problem in dhs eyes so I shall continue to pretend not to notice until I leave on Thursday.
On another note....I actually had to tell ss11 to stop chewing on a chair yesterday

10 uniforms? Damn! I only
10 uniforms? Damn! I only bought my 15 y/o 2 slacks, 2 vests, 2 ties, 2 sweaters and 5 white shirts. Now I feel bad! LOL!
Febreeze the hallway that leads to the laundry room, put a Glade Plug-In in an outlet in the laundry room and ignore the clothes. Outta sight and smell outta mind.
Yep....two weeks worth.....to
Yep....two weeks worth.....to avoid this very issue. I didn't want to be under the wire for laundry every weekend....in case I got behind or something came up. So I thought that two weeks worth will give me some breathing room and account for rips and stain through out the year. Its really hard to find the tops in the correct colors when its not back to school....and its way more expensive.
But if I got this kid a months worth it wouldn't be enough....
Oh, girl - get yourself some
Oh, girl - get yourself some Arm and Hammer cat litter baking soda treatment. Cheap at Dollar Store and comes in several scents. Very strong so it can mask lots of stink! I pour it around the baseboards in ss's room (while holding a hankerchief over nose and mouth) and seems to keep the nauseting smells contained. Took me a while to figure this out, but even some humans have litter boxes, so I started treating their rooms accordingly. With all the crap that lives on the floor in there the white line of powder around the baseboard never gets seen! And you could sprinkle it directly on the piles of stinking laundry, too. Probably would help the laundry detergent do it's tough job when someone finally gets around to doing it! Hang in there!
Oh the laundry feuds. I have
Oh the laundry feuds. I have those too.
I had a smile getting ready for work at 5am b/c all the towels for SDs bathroom are in her room and not clean. She will have nothing to shower with the rest of the week....it is Tuesday right?
DSO and I have our own bathroom but only a tub and no shower. We have clean towels and they are not for her to use. DSO might cave, I need to hide our clean towels from dSO.
SS is entirely the master of
SS is entirely the master of his own laundry destiny. All he has to do is bring into the laundry room...that's it. Everyone in the house is well aware that I only do laundry on the weekends (friday-sunday) so anything left after that will wait until the next Friday.
So the only time that dh does laundry is in situations like this...where one of the skids dumps laundry only when they are out of uniforms and it needs to get done. But they have to tell him! He doesn't normally do laundry so he isn't in the laundry room to see 3 loads of ss's laundry sitting there. All SS had to do was fess up to dh Sunday at bedtime or Monday before or after school and dh would ha e done it. But SS is even too lazy for that. Yeah dh would have been upset and told him off about it....but that what happens when you fuck up. So my guess sis that SS is now planning on just waiting it out this week wearing dirty clothes and avoid telling dh that he hasn't brought his clothes to be washed for over two weeks. He's got a big surprise coming on Thursday when he realizes that I won't be here to do laundry and dh will either be the one doing it (and will see how much has piles up and how nasty it is) or more likely he won't even think laundry and it will sit another week and then SS will have to come clean and ask for his clothes.
Guarantee if your DH is
Guarantee if your DH is anything like mine.. this will become YOUR problem anyway. SS will stick (or stink) it out until the weeken when you do laundry and then YOU will be expected to do his laundry. DH will get off scott free, SS will get off scott free... no lesson learned and YOU are the only one who will be bothered by this whole laundry mess.
this is the kind of shit that happens at my house and it drives me insane!
That's the beauty of this
That's the beauty of this particular incident. I won't be here for the next two weekend. I am leaving this Thursday afternoon for a weekend trip home to visit my parents with my boys and won't return until Monday night. Then the next weekend we are all going away for the weekend...so not doing laundry that weekend either (other than throwing my stuff (me and my kids) in for a quick load) I am certainly not doing four weeks of ss's laundry Sunday night after we return from the beach.
I used to do laundry for SO
I used to do laundry for SO and the skids....until one day SO tells me that SDthen13 asked when I was coming over because all her jeans were dirty. :jawdrop:
That was a HUGE wakeup call for me. I stopped doing laundry that very day. SO had SD9 do laundry as her chore. Then all I heard were complaints of how nothing was getting washed, stuff was left in the washer and getting mildewy, everything was super wrinkled because she wouldn't fold correctly or leave them in the dryer for days....but of course, he wouldn't DO anything about it, just moan and groan about it.
Then he had the brilliant idea of having SD14 do laundry instead. You know, cuz she's just sooooo much more mature and responsible than SD9, right (enter sarcastic font). What a shocker...same laundry issues with SD14! I took the time to show both girls the correct way to fold. If it wasn't done right, I'd shake it out and make them do it again. Heaven forbid that SO actually take the time to do this. It's just so much better to yell about it and gripe about it, than actually DO anything about it. SMH
