[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 45020"] Thanks everyone. I was pleasantly surprised that she apologized. Otherwise, I would have been doing A LOT more muttering. I'm pretty sure some people think I'm a few crayons short of a box when they see me muttering to myself. [img]:smile:[/img] Mikey, honestly, your son is 17 years old. Well past the age where he can do his own laundry. I'm glad wife stood her ground, though. Good for her. [img]:bravo:[/img] I'd be having a hard time working up any sympathy for him over his boxers issue. I guess you're going to find out just how stubborn Sir Pots a Lot is. It should prove interesting. If he does clean his room and wife does his laundry, she may want to consider using tongs to handle his clothes at this point. Maybe even a hazmat suit. I'm sensing it's been awhile since they've been washed. [img]:devil:[/img] The rule in my house is that only the clothes in the hamper get washed by me. I even announce that I'm doing laundry and for the kids to make sure I have their clothes. I [i]will not[/i] go hunt them down. When my son was 11, I had done that procedure and he didn't give me any clothes. I did all the laundry in the hamper. The next day he was very upset because he didn't have anything clean for school. I told him that it was too bad, that I had done laundry the day before and if he wanted clean clothes he could do them. He then asked me how much I was going to pay him. [img]:rofl:[/img] I told him I thought he was awfully funny and that his payment would be having clean clothes to wear. He did his laundry.
