[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 396623, member: 831"] I tend to be pretty level headed most of the time, but if my husband had pulled that dinner stunt he would have been wearing corn bread. Immature, I know, but it sure does make a point. It hasn't happened in years, but once I did throw a full plate of spagetti at husband when he complained about dinner. Think, "Want you dinner? Here, catch!" I work too, pal. Now he's gone so much working that he's grateful for any home cooked meal he gets. Laundry. Daughter started doing hers after I had a Mama Meltdown about five years ago. I don't remember what set me off, but I do recall it was a camel/straw/back moment. So, now she's 19 and mostly buys her own clothing; she washes it, dries it, and sometimes actually folds it and puts it away (or it stays in her big bucket to become a big wrinkled mess). Every time she does laundry, I mean EVERYTIME, something is left on the floor. A sock, panty, shirt, and this week it was a pillow case. I mean, when she changed her sheets, or folded these sheets, didn't she notice something was missing?? So, it sits in my room and I keep meaning to hold it up and ask her if she is missing something. Anyway, she would always leave something on the garage (where the washer and dryer is) floor after she would pull her things (usually after a day or two or me yelling for her to get her stuff out) out of the dryer. So, I began to collect them in a pile on top of the dryer. We have matching front loading washer and dryer that are on stands so it's up high. I mentioned to her that her items were beginning to make a big pile on the dryer; perhaps she might be needing some of those items. She would mumble she would get them and then never did. Finally, after about six months, I took the whole pile and tossed everything in the trash. To this day, she has never made a mention of it. The pillow case I couldn't do because it is part of a matching set. But, a new pile of her clothing is beginning to form again. Son doesn't care whether he has clean clothes or not. I made mention about how I washed, folded, and put away his clothes (I do it for me, not for him). He just gave me a blank look. I asked him, "Do you even care if you have clean clothes?" He responds, "No, actually, I don't.". What is there to say to that?? LOL At least I know the truth and don't expect any kind of appreciation from him.

I would have a sit down and let him know that you are on HIS SIDE and you will listen and support him. But, it's not okay for him to treat you in such a rude manner. As far as the laundry goes, the adults in your home are responsible for their own.
