I always wash the laundry.
I hate, hate, HATE to fold it. It actually sits so long in the baskets that it piles up until every pair of underwear in the house is in there and we are forced to put it away. Generally my Dh is the first one to cave and fold. I would rather by new stuff than fold laundry.
I have a strong will.
Earlier today I asked him to change the washer clothes to the dryer; which he did. While he was switching them, he found a $5 bill in the washing machine.
Then he said he would be doing more laundry from now on since he found money. Although annoyed, I let him have it…even though TECHNICALLY it should have been mine since I asked him to switch it. (Rule: Whoever does the laundry gets to keep the money they find in it).
So the day goes on, I switch the laundry, run another load, throw clean laundry in infamous pile and he starts to fold it.
And finds a $10 bill.
WTF!!!!
Now he is walking around here like he won the lotto and stuck them both in his wallet.
Whose laundry money is it?

It’s BOTH Of yours!
Its totally his money. I’d tell him to keep the money… its the payment for folding all the laundry in your house.
The most I ever find is a quarter. Definitely not worth my time! I’d say if he’s willing to fold the laundry let him have it! Heck, I would start planting money in the laundry just to keep him motivated!!
@ Trisha-admin:
Maybe you should by me fingers that type well
I would tell him he can keep the money if he folds all of the laundry.
I have to say that it is his money. I’d be ticked off and eventually my husband would give it to me, or I’d just go spend it out of our account, but in this case, he was doing the actual work when the money presented itself. Even if he was doing your work for the $5.

I would just like to point out that the $5 became family money when my wife took it from me and bought a funnel cake at the flea market.
The money is yours!! I just want to know how in the heck you got DH to do it. Mine refuses to do almost anything in the house, I think he would walk around naked or in dirty clothes…lol
I can totally identify with the entire post.. except for the money part.. we are broke! Anyway.. I hate to say it.. but the money is all his! Seriously.. it is worth $15 to me for my husband .. or anyone for that matter to do the laundry!
umm its mine!
I do the laundry, even though i take forever to finally fold it- but if i find anything more than a 5, and i know its for DH ill let him kno im taking it! lol But in this case, im going to say finders keepers
If it helps, we simplified our laundry process by doing this..
Tops – all go on hangers (no folding woohoo!)
Bottoms – fold, that’s easy
Socks,bras,undies – all go in a laundry basket that eventually gets migrated to our bedroom to be tossed in a drawer
Geez, i never find money! can I come wash at your house??
