Linasmom, I used to do the same thing! I used to empty the dishwasher and growl at my husband because he was being a slug on the couch while I did all the work. Now I make a conscious effort to say, "Sweet, Darling Husband, my Favorite Husband, Please go move the clothes into the dryer...NOW."

Because if I didn't say NOW, he would not act on my orders until 3 hours later because his seat was already warm.

Then, he would get up and walk toward the laundryroom.

A little while later, I would notice that there was no dryer noise.

"Sweet, Loving Husband O Mine, Did you put the clothes in the dryer?"

"Yes."


"Did you turn the dryer ...ON?"

"You didn't ask me to."
