@travelingnanny: oh my glob. That was ours. He is NOT allowed to do the laundry.

Well, he knows not to mess with folding because I have a certain way of folding clothes. He has the items he can fold and I fold the rest.

BUT. Once every 3 years or so, he will forget our rule and try to help out and run a load of laundry. Every time he's done the laundry on his own, he's destroyed something. And considering the care I take in choosing clothing items and waiting for them to go on sale, holding onto coupons, etc. I get pretty upset. Once he ran all my bathing suits through hot wash and high heat dry. Needless to say, they were all destroyed and women's bathing suits are NOT CHEAP! A few were from target but two were from j. crew. I waited and waited until they finally went on sale and there was a 40% off all sale items clearance. I had only worn one once. Once he didn't check pockets and gum destroyed a pair of his pants... etc.

So the last time I was really sick he was going crazy taking care of both kids, so he ignored a lot of other household things that he's normally in charge of (vacuuming, trash, etc) BUT he decided to run a load of laundry. He didn't use the stain stick and ran it through high heat dry again (!!) so stains galore.... Bahhh. I got so angry because I specifically told him not to touch the laundry (even though he should already know from our rule and multiple laundry fights from the past!) and he didn't even do the vacuuming or trash!!! because he was too busy doing the laundry!!!

Ours was over him ordering me a vanilla cone dipped in chocolate rather than a chocolate cone dipped in chocolate at the drive-through. Seriously.

I refused to eat it, it was melting, there were debates on why the driver shouldn't order for the whole car or what the proper way to order in the drive-through was, if he was "reaally listening" to me, how did he not know I didn't like it, I should like the treat it's all the same, blah blah blah. Oooh, being teens and dating was so fun sometimes. LOL. We don't fight much anymore, but some of those early dumb ones were hilariously stupid.

@Beyond2: My husband does that...a lot! So very annoying! He thinks it is hysterical.

We had a ridiculous argument last summer, we live about one and a half hours away from the beach, so going takes a little planning. We'd decided to leave at 8am on a sunday and as I'm getting ready, making sandwiches and sorting the rest of the stuff we need hubs comes downstairs declares he is ready to go. Except he is wearing jeans and CAT boots with his t-shirt, not really beach attire. I asked if he wanted me to pack his shorts so he could change when we got there, but no he was planning wearing his boots and jeans to the beach. At that point I just flipped, and said something like I'm not going to the beach with you dressed like this.
Well that didn't go down well, and there was a lot of yelling on both sides.
So ridiculous, we made up about an hour later and then tried to head to the beach. never did get there, but that's another story.

@beckysue: Haha, Men! I'm still not sure what is funny about it...
