He could care less about where he finds his clothes, in a dirty basket, off the floor or hung on a hanger..its all the same to him!

He'll put his dishes in the sink, but neither rinse them nor put them in the dishwasher.
He'll remember that cans and bottles get recycled, but apparently they get recycled from our kitchen counter! (Its about 5 more step to our recycling bucket in the mud-room)
He'll do laundry, dry it, and then take it out in a huge ball and leave it next to the dryer so that by the time I find it everything is wrinkled! Or, he'll manage to put the ball of laundry into a basket, bring it upstairs and leave it... and then he throws dirty stuff into the same basket!
Its like living with a child! If I don't do his wash, fold it, and put it in his drawers, he'd be perfectly content with pulling wrinkled shirts out of a ball of laundry that's co-mingling with the dirty stuff in a laundry basket! My turn, My turn! I want to chime in that I'm in the same boat too!
Erik is wonderful to me (though I do complain that he doesn't take me out a lot, we had a conversation about this last weekend....I want a date)
but I have to say it is like I'm living with a child. I have been doing his laundry, which I don't mind but come on!!!!! how hard is it to fold your clothes and put them away rather than leave them in the basket for 3 weeks. I'm not joking.
Why am I the only one throwing away the trash and taking the trash out on trash day while he is on his computer working or playing his game.
I'm sorry but wiping up the sink with a piece of toilet paper and doing the same thing to the toilet is not called cleaning. I'm making him clean it really well this Sat, since we are having a bbq on Sunday (that Yari and Brian will be at )
oh the list can go on and on and on and on........I'm married to a child sometimes
