Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my boyfriend did the washing as an attempt to help me. Not only are all my clothes now pink, he refuses to do the dishes, vacuuming, bathroom, ironing etc., as he has done "plenty." FML
Today, I walked into my house with a couple of friends and I saw my girlfriend doing laundry. I jokingly asked her if she had time to do a load of mine as well. She scoffed and said, "Yeah babe, I'll gladly do your laundry… The same day you learn to wipe properly." FML
Today, I asked my SO for help with just the laundry, which translated into him only washing his clothes. We're married with multiple kids, and I currently work 2 jobs. FML
Today, while doing my boyfriend's laundry, I noticed that every single pair of his boxers had a poop smear in them. He's almost 30. FML
Today, I went to gather the laundry out of the dryer. My daughter had seen my wife put bleach in the washer, so she decided that honey in the dryer would make the clothes smell sweet. She wasn't wrong, but now I have a giant ball of sticky socks and underwear. FML
Today, after recently breaking up with my boyfriend, I unknowingly washed my laundry using his washing tabs. My whole wardrobe now smells like my ex. FML
Today, my husband finally decided to help with the laundry. He washed a pen and it exploded in the dryer. FML
Today, my husband decided to drain his motorcycle oil into an empty bottle of laundry detergent. Also today, I decided to lift a stain out of my white comforter with some detergent I found in the garage. FML
Today, my husband decided to be helpful and do all the laundry, including pre-treating all the stains. He felt that Clorox Clean-Up with Bleach would be the most effective. FML
Today, I walked in the bathroom and smelled a disgusting cheesy smell. I looked at the tub and my boyfriend was furiously scrubbing under his toenails with a nail brush. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hope he showers and doesn't use the same method on himself.

You could teach him...

Those poor excuses for men are the reason why a lot of women think that we guys are "stupid". Such stupid guys are a mistake of their mothers, who did not have the need to teach their sons the basics of house chores - even men should know the basics of house chores and women should know how to change a lightbulb etc, I say. Or he KNOWS how to do laundry and "his version" was planned, because he knew "she will do it herself and I will be free from this boring job"...

Either show him how to put the clothing & soap in the machine ... Or remain silent. Damn, he's TRYING to help you. Blame his parents for not teaching him.

Are you sure, that he is trying? I just do not want to believe that he could be so stupid...had he never seen how laundry has to be done? Has he never seen a washing machine? Does he really think that the smell and dirt will go away just by rubbing it with baby powder? Does he really never showers because "a deodorant will do"? That is the exactly same system - if baby powder would be sufficient on the laundry, it should be sufficient on people too. And if people need to shower... ;-) What if he was told something like "You never help me with any chores!" and so he decided "I will show you, I will f..k it a few times and you stop asking me to help and you do it yourself instead and that is what I want!"? I am a guy and I KNOW mens' thinking..."mess it up a few times and they will stop asking for help", so I would not be like "what the?" if this is the case too.

Why is laundry so bad? I have been doing mine for years and I do my sisters and my parents if they are all to busy. Its not hard. In fact it can be relaxing :- why do people make a big deal about it? Op your fiance is fooling you. Dont fall for it!

Doing my own laundry by myself... weird thing in a family I think. Four people for example and each one waiting to have enough dirty laundry to use the washing machine to its fullest... I think that putting a laundry of all the family members together if needed be for using the WM to its fullest by one sort of laundry - why not? Folding or ironing the laundry after washing - yes, the "owner" of the laundry could do it himself or herself, indeed :)

He did this on purpose. Don't you know the best way to get out of a chore is to do a really really bad job? Now is when you teach him how to do the laundry.

Teach his ass how. You don't deserve to take a chore as a duty. His mother was slackin.

Or "thinking in old times" - "house chores are for women, men should care about our home, garden and such". That is now - in the time of apartments - a little outdated system.

You can always teach him.

Well you can teach him when you're married.

He's pulling this shit deliberately. Only the dumbest of fuckups doesn't know how to do laundry. It's not complicated.

I'm so tempted to hit the "you deserve it button" for just accepting that you'll be doing the laundry for the rest of your lives. He KNOWS how to do laundry, he's just trying to get out of the chore and assumes (rightly) that if he does a shit job you'll just do it. Which you've clearly resigned yourself for. Or he sincerely doesn't know how for some unknown reason. Both of these can be solved by showing him how to ******* do laundry. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish..."

"Give a man a fire, warm him for a day. Set a man in a fire, warm him for the rest of his life"? :-)
