I have established a new house rule.

If it isn't in the dirty clothes hamper, it doesn't get washed.

I wonder how long it will take spouse to run out of clean shirts and underwear.

I guess I should tell him the new rule when he gets home from work.
Or not.

Good rule! [are we voting on telling him or not?]

Or just post the new rule on the underside of the hamper lid. :-)

That's the rule at our house too. I usually take pity and warn the kids when I'm about to start laundry so that they can get their clothes into their hamper, but I don't pick them up from their rooms. They also have to put away their own clothes.

I think this summer I'm going to have them do their own laundry - at least one load per week each.
