AMJ Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Part of my complex system is that it goes on hangers or that non-hanging stuff is put in various baskets by person. I need more room in my laundry room - you know, for my complex system. We have a closet for our laundry room, and I am quite grumpy about that (our previous house had a separate ROOM, which I loved). That said, we are making it work. DH installed doorless cabinets above the machines for detergent and other supplies. Then he installed a wire shelf and hanging bar BACKWARDS inside the doorway, over the door, so we can hang clothes directly from the dryer. I also use the banister railing for laying things out flat before hanging or folding (especially helpful with tablecloths and sheets), and the machines are right outside the master bedroom, so I use our bed for folding and we keep the clean clothes baskets in there. The ironing board lives folded up and stood on end next to the washer. (I bring it out to iron flat the leading edge of flat sheets -- I SO want cotton/poly blend sheets again so I don't have to do that!) We can use the hanging rod and hangars for drip dry clothes, or we can use the bar we hung over the monster tub in the master bathroom. At least one up-side of having a laundry closet instead of a laundry room is we have more incentive to get the clean laundry at least delivered to other rooms, if not put away completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Finally, someone who understands me!!! :thumbup: He needs a talking to, for sure! And a cat to spray him! We are in the process of making the decision for him to build a small house on our property, as he is getting older and is alone, and I will be the one to provide all but medical care in his aging years. So now is NOT the time to act like the back end of a horse. He rarely does this so I don't know what came over him. Now, I am very, very patient and kind with him almost to a fault, but he got some pushback for the stunt he pulled on Saturday. :rofl: I kinda get where he is coming from, but I agree that he needed the push back from you. Last year I told my own Dad to "go to h3ll", in writing because I had a sinus infection and used up the last of my voice making the doctor appointment he insisted he needed and then refused to go to (because I had the nerve to do it without him standing over me telling me exactly what to do and how to do it), and I had stayed in his town to help him with medical matters while DH and our kids continued on to SD to see more family. He now doesn't remember that, or chooses not to remember it, and everything is hunky-dory between us again. I have decided and told him, however, that I will NOT do ANYTHING for him anymore regarding medical care or his living situation, since he has made it abundantly clear (through his actions and very poor treatment of me) that he doesn't actually want me to do so, regardless of past conversations and requests. He has not complained once since then, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm great with laundry. I do it throughout the morning, toss it all on my bed which gets made every morning, fold it at nap time, and it gets put away before hubby gets home. I *hate* laundry and I *hate* dishes. Everything else is a piece of cake. Someday I'll have this in my kitchen. Eta: And yes that's my pinterest, so if you wanna know what kind of person I really am... Pretty, but I wouldn't like tussling with that many doors to get laundry in and out of the machines. Then again, I'm in the USA, where we don't normally put laundry and food prep in the same rooms. (However, the kitchen makes more sense to me than putting the laundry out in the garage, which is STILL being done in some new houses -- go figure!)

JoJosMom Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Oh dear. You do feel my pain. (((hugs))) True story: My dad always thinks there is something seriously wrong with him. It has been Emphysema (lifetime nonsmoker), Diabetes (thin, no family history, very healthy eater), and Congestive Heart Failure (see Diabetes). I kept arguing with him, and his doctor reassured him, but he kept insisting he has Emphysema because a crazy doctor told him once he had it and put him on meds that made him nuts. It was bad. I told him that the next time he said he has Emphysema that he had to pay me $100. He is a super cheapskate, so he never said it again. :) Ma'am, your father is neurotic. That will be 80 bazillion dollars, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story: I am friends with SWB on FB, and I showed my teen son a cute pictures of the lambs at her farm. Being 14, he typed "I hate you!" in the comments and thought it was so funny, only he accidentally posted (from my FB account). UGH. So now she probably won't be my BFF any more. :scared: And then when my son realized what he did, he melted down and cried. Ugh. I was just trying to show him a picture of a cute lamb and bring some distraction to our sad and sorry lots. Follow up: I erased it quickly, but then I had to post "Adorable" and apologize for my "funny" teen boy's comment. <sob> :drool: HOW did you friend the GP?????

AMJ Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Good morning. The next time you feel that you've failed at parenting know that my 21 year old sister in law vomits on the carpet as well and has her mom clean it up because it's "too hard" for her to make it to the toilet. It's funny how when she's sick at my house that she doesn't have that problem. I wonder why that is. I wanted to like this post in agreement, but thought it might be misconstrued and give my cat ideas. Eww. My dad once -- just once -- drank himself to the point of vomiting. He then promptly set about cleaning up the entire mess and claims that doing that sobered him up quite quickly. He does like beer, but doesn't drink much. One or two in an evening, not every evening, and it takes a while for him to finish even one. And I think he's like me -- if overheated will think NOTHING of putting ice in the beer, too. I will clean up after someone who is legitimately sick. If I have good cause to believe it is self-inflicted, however, I will harry them until they clean it up themselves.
