Stupid pen, stupid clothes, stupid boys! More than 5 lines
ARGH!!! STUPID STUPID STUPID
Here is my rant for the week. As some of you know I have gotten a part time night job to keep up with my son's hospital bills from the staph infection surgery. Stupid bills also since I'm on a rant! I've been burning the candle at both ends now for months. I WILL NOT let my duties as a mother and wife in anyway go by the way side. There fore I am doing everything as I always do just later at night or earlier in the morning depending on how you look at it. I had to get a load of dress clothes done so that hubby has golf clothes for Sunday because I'm going to be in and out and had to make sure the BOYS had what they needed. Last night at 3 am I take the clothes from the washer to the dryer, turn it on and go clean the kitchen. Dryer goes off I open it and find the entire load of permanent press COVERED in black ink. My favorite clothes were in there also. It's 3:45am and I'm standing there with my mouth wide open. I pulled out all the clothes and just shook my head then I went to bed. Seems that my son (THIS TIME) left a bic pen in his khaki shorts and it came apart in the dryer. At 6:20 am when hubby went to the laundry room to get his clothes I hear......WHAT THE BLEEP BLEEP and BLEEP is this BLEEP?! I get up go in and explain that an ink pen was washed and dried and it ruined the clothes. He promptly stated "You'll just have to check the pockets before you wash clothes" Be and my lack of sleep charming self that I was promptly state "So the Eagles are coming to town", got my coffee and went outside. Later he said he would make sure from now on he took the sharpies out of his pockets and will tell the boy to check his pockets and apologized for his out burst.

Twice now, my wife has washed pens with my permanent press. They came from HER pockets though. One time was a whole load of new shirts fresh out of the boxes getting thier first wash, and she threw in a pair of her pants. I just had to laugh and reassure her it was OK; It was just nice to have my laundry done!
And I'm glad that I didn't over react. This last weekend I did several loads and didn't separate her new red semi-formal dress from the company Christmas party... She now has a lot of pink socks and shirts. Sorry Aliie. Hope you don't have to work so hard for too long.

aweee I feel your pain- this has happened to me b/f also. I refuse to check pockets and everyone in this house knows it!!! If I happen to find something in somebody's pocket, well it will sit b/c I will NOT remove it ... I figure if I'm washing it then they can at least clean out their pockets ...
glad hubby apologized to you, did it make ya feel a bit better? Christy...

my mrs policy is something like, if you dont want it washed dont put it in the laundry...
then she promptly picks up the stuff i didnt put in the laundry yet and washes it... |

Allie, since you're working outside the home now, both boys need to pitch in and help. They are both old enough and there's no reason for you to be doing it all. If the hubby complains, quit your job and tell him to get another one.

Never a question after that. Hubby cooks, cleans, does laundry, grocery shops, etc., sometimes better than me.

I don't like the thought of them doing laundry even more than me finding pens in the dryer. God only knows what would happen to our clothes then. Hubby isn't complaining and better not. He works hard Carrie and really can't do much more. I have more time and a less strenuous job. Quote:
Hummmm, now there is an idea. Quote:

Just a little helpful hint - rubbing alcohol will take out ball point pen out of material.

FLASHBACK 1969:
little Bart age 10: "Mom, you didn't wash my clothes & I need clean jeans for school" SMACK! Mom: : "if you can't pick your clothes up off of your bedroom floor & put them in the hamper, I'm not washing them" She then grabbed me by my left ear(she's right handed) & marched me down to the laundry room in the basement Irate Mom: "this is the washer, this is the setting you use, this is how much soap to use... this is the dryer, you're not allowed to use it unless there is snow on the ground your laundry is your job, NOT MINE " so for the better part of the last 40 years, Bart has done his own laundry

BART, I would love to do that but at the same time I still feel like it's my job and don't want to slack off on my home duties just because I've picked up a few shifts at night. If desparate hubby will start a load or dry a load. The boy would rather wear dirty jeans he's worn for 3 days. I supose I'm just making it hard for the woman who marries my son but I keep saying when he graduates high school he'll have to do his own laundry.

Allie, get down off that cross, someone else needs the wood for a fire.
Seriously, stop being a martyr--make those boys get off their dead butts and do some laundry and make some dinner. Making them be responsible and pick up some of the slack doesn't make you a bad mother; in fact, their future wives will say that it made you a better mom. I remember when my ex's mother proudly proclaimed that her little boy never had to lift a finger while he was growing up. I nearly reached across the table and smacked her silly. Seriously, my mother seriously injured her back when I was a kid, and she spent months at a time bedridden. My dad worked a full time job and ran the family farm, so my brothers and I picked up the slack. I was too young to run a tractor (thank God, I hated getting dirty on that thing), so as the youngest, I did the housework. I remember arguing with my grandmother that she wasn't folding the towels correctly. So, by the age of 10, I knew how to do all household tasks, and I turned out just fine. Ok, maybe I'm not the best example.
