Is this petty?

Do the same to the son too, otherwise he is just learning weaponised incompetence from his dad.

At 9, he’s more than old enough to stop doing silly things like this. Or better yet, do the wash with tissues left in, and let him pick the bits out afterwards!

As for your partner, not petty at all. He sounds lazy and entitled.

My husband kept forgetting to check his pockets so now he washes his own clothes and we have our own laundry baskets. About a year ago I had just bought brand new scrubs for both of us he went and wash everything ($100 a set) and he ruined both pair of mine and one of his with a pen he left in his pocket.. and the load after that he put one of my brand new dresses for the day after our wedding part in with a bunch of reds and turned it pink. Needless to say separate laundry baskets were a must after that! I will still help him with washing his clothes etc if needed but we definitely don’t wash our clothes together anymore.

Nah I fucking HEAR you. I told my partner i was no longer emptying his pockets, ended up washing his passport. Now I refuse to do his laundry. He moans but I told him im not his bloody mother and he needs to help 🤷‍♀️

This is the MOST ANNOYING thing. Tissues literally ruin everything. So I’d be the same 😅 I think I washed my ex husband air pods 3 times because he wouldn’t listen to me when I said empty your pockets 🥴

If you feel this petty,it’s because you’re treating your husband like a child. His shorts have been dirty for two weeks. And he doesn’t care. That’s man is a very entitled brat.

Mind you their son picked up that bad habit as well. So she’s been telling them for yrs.

You could wash only his clothes with the shorts and tissues so then when it gets all over his clothes it’ll be his own fault and he can wear fluffy tissue clothes 😂

I take them out I don’t mind doing it but my hubby leaves 10’s and 20’s and the occasional 50’s everywhere in his pockets (was much more back then when everything was cash, before the tap era)….I still get them now maybe $80-90 all up when I check his pockets. Back then? Ooofff. More. Lol. He hangs it up and brings the clothes in though, (I can’t reach the clothesline without a stool lmao the builders that installed them are TALL 😂) I just put them in to wash lol. That’s why I don’t mind. If you wanna piss him off though I agree w other girls wash his clothes only that way tissues will only get everywhere on his clothes (if you don’t wanna keep checking it)

Stop washing his clothes girl. All of them. Period.

You make an announcement to both your son and husband to chean out their pockets then just wash them. It's their fault if they have tissue covered clothes. My mom did the same thing to my dad and Dad used to have paper receipts all wet in his pockets. He learned to clean his pockets... Lol

At 9 your son is old enough to learn to wash his own clothes. Tell them both I'm not washing clothes with stuff in the pockets.
Either they stop or you stop washing their clothes.

My dad did our laundry growing up and hus rule was if you left something that could mess up other people's laundry you had to do the whole family's laundry the next wash day. We learned pretty quickly that if we wanted our clothes washed for us we needed to che k out pockets.
