Well, I haven't been through a divorce but Mr. Bostondevil put my iced-tea maker, my stand-up mixer, and my sewing machine 'away' to create more space. Where 'away' is, I've yet to determine.
The time is out of joint, O cursed spite!

He's also ruined several dry clean only clothing items and a handknit sweater by doing the laundry. And I'm not allowed to get mad because hey, he was doing the laundry! I'm supposed to be grateful, not angry, that he can't read a label or recognize a handknit wool sweater.
I finally had to ask him to stop helping with my laundry. He does do his own though. And for that, I am grateful.

Mr. Windsor is forbidden from touching my laundry for the same reason. He does his...I do mine. It works.

I have been

from the laundry room also, unless it's to put some wet towels in the dryer and turn it on. I'm not even sure that is allowed either.

I try my best to read all the labels before I do laundry but I asked Kelly to put things that require special attention in special places so they don't accidentally end up in the wash. I always hang up my dry cleaning and never throw it in the laundry basket with other washables. Last year Kelly washed AND dried a wool sweater of mine. It now fits her perfectly. I think she did it on purpose.

I do all the laundry in our house and I've learned to check all my wife's labels. What a hassle.
And now she started buying things for our toddler that are delicates. Now I have to check all my daughter's labels when I do the laundry! Aaaargh!

Delicates for toddlers is borderline criminal, unless it's a 'Sunday Best' outfit or something for a special occasion.

What's worse is when she dresses Katie in said delicates and then sends her to daycare to roll around in the mulch.

She'll have outgrown her delicates before you know it.
She needs to roll in the mulch. It's no fun not to.
You are a good father. Continue to show concern.
Go forth and prosper.

And yet Katie herself is a delicate that can only be handwashed.
You'll forgive me if I don't see the problem, I hope.

I friend of mine gave my daughter a beautiful (and no doubt expensive) outfit when she was a baby (under 6 months). It was DRY CLEAN ONLY. For a baby. WTF. I appreciated the gift, dressed Krysta in it once - took a picture - sent it to friend with gushy thank you. Donated it.

Bud does our laundry. He does a pretty good job. Sometimes a piece of my laundry comes out a size smaller. I never get on him. After 50 years of doing laundry, I could care less.
