I am a "laundry-Nazi," I admit it. I want my kids clothes to be stain free every time they wear them. When the clothes (Gymboree only of course) have a stain, no matter how big or small, light or dark, they are retired. They jump from closet status to drawer status, or clothing hell, and they are used strictly for play clothes, never to be worn in public again! Every day I do laundry, and it's the same routine: separate lights, colors, whites, and stains. I then sit on the floor, scrub stains out with a toothbrush and Clorox 2, and separate the stains into my lights, darks, and whites piles. I then put my a selected load into the washer, add Tide and a cupful of Clorox 2(yes, more!) and wash. I am also a laundry fairy, cause I get almost every stain out....As boring as this ritual is, I needed to explain this portion of my day to tell what is next.
I do this routine everyday, I have been married for over 8 years.......And because my husband doesn't do the laundry, because I am afraid he'll fuck it up....he may not have been paying close attention for the last 8 years, it is after all, a short period of time. So....when he returned back from his 2 week absence yesterday, he brought me flowers (beautiful might I add) and had another "surprise" in his suitcase. He promptly pulls out a huge jug of Clorox 2 from his suitcase, with a huge grin on his face, and because I am the Laundry Nazi, I was excited that he brought home such a large jug! (We don't have that size available to us in AK). After my initial excitement of my Clorox 2, I asked him what laundry detergent he used with it. (Yes it matters to me :) What comes next just made my day:
Pete: Isn't that laundry detergent [Clorox 2]
Me: Ummmm....no (laughing)
Pete: Well, what the fuck is it?
me: it's just a laundry booster and stain fighter
Pete: Oh well, that's what I used the whole time....
Me: That's hilarious, you are supposed to use it with detergent.
Pete: Well, whatever, they got clean....
Me: I bet they did (sarcasm)
Pete: Well, Mike used it too, and he didn't know either, so there!
Well played Mr. Browning, you just proved you are a dip shit and so are your friends! Lol, and honey, thank you for the beautiful flowers;)

Where was he at? cause it may have been my Mike..he doesn't understand the need for pre-treating, or why we have 3 different laundry soaps, fabric softener and dryer sheets (he thinks either would be enough) or why things get separated based on color,child,and dirtiness. men!
Amber! Reading is hard, you know because clorox says on the package what it is used for..
