Laundry woes

My DH of 47 years has always been helpful around the house even if he does do things his way and not mine. However there is one thing he does that drives me mad. He is obsessed with interfering with the laundry. He us always asking if the machine is finished yet. He takes washing off the line before it is dry enough. He puts items awaiting ironing into the airing cupboard, baking the creases in and worst of all he happily puts damp washing away in the drawers. One morning, after I had set the machine to run overnight, he woke me at 5.30 am to tell me it had finished.angry
I know he's only trying to help but often he may he just makes extra owork. I have triedand tried to stop him doing this, but to no avail. I can't always save the laundry until he it out of the house! Any suggestions?

If you've talked to him about it, in a kindly way, and it still makes no difference, then perhaps you could think of something else he could do in place of laundry? Something you don't like doing of course!
