Anyone else have a DH who overloads the washing machine?
I know, small pet peeve compared to some of the annoying things our husbands can do, but...it's one thing I've really noticed since I've been on modified bed rest and he's had to take over most of the household chores. (Don't get me started on the quality of his work regarding the other chores...LOL)
Every time, the man tries to pack in two loads' worth of clothes into one! And I've told him, countless times, that it doesn't save time, money or energy because nothing gets clean enough if it doesn't have room to move around! It really gags me when he does this with socks and underwear.  But you can't tell the man anything. (Side note: anyone else notice that the older our men get, the more stubborn they are? I swear I see him morphing into a grumpy old man before my eyes.) Vent over.

Tell him that overloading the machine like that will break it. It works the motor, and the motor will fry. He might not care about how clean the clothes are, but he might care about having to pay to fix or replace the washer.

I'm not sure my dh even knows where the washing machine is
....... Nah.....kidding.....We just came to the agreement that for the sake of peace, he should just let me or one of the girls do the laundry.Now, don't even get me started on the time I came home and my MIL had come over and had decided SHE should do my laundry. LOL LR

My husband had to care for his home and his two girls after his wife died. He is a fabulous cook and loves doing it. I also cook but since work has slowed down, he cooks a lot these days. He also washes dishes. Although I sometimes run them through an extra time. LOL
 He doesn't over load the laundry at all. In fact, he can't stand loads of laundry sitting around so he is in the habit of washing before the loads get to big. I am the one who tends to overload from time to time.
