Newlywed / Housewife mistakes / disasters?

well, making a marinade i put baking soda in it, put a cap on it, shook it and wouldn't you know it, it exploded and painted the kitchen all red.

thinking it was flawed, i tried again just after cleaning the 1st time, when all of a sudden, BOOM, painted the kitchen one more time. The kitchen smelled pretty good for some time, a constant marinade. HA

It was supposed to be corn starch, not baking soda.

How about husband mistakes? I've spent the better part of my life taking care of me (of course i know how to do laundry). Bu, my husband went straight from his parents house, where his parents did most everything for him to being married to me (we got married right out of college).

One day my hubby took it upon himself to run the dishes through the dishwasher. However, he'd never done this before. He didn't know there was a different dish-washing detergent for it. So, he filled up the compartment with the palmolive dish washing soap! Oh my God, there were bubbles all over the kitchen floor. It was a huge mess. However, once he got it cleaned up the floor never looked better:)

Since then, I've taken it upon myself to show him how to do something first. Now, he's a pro at all housekeeping chores. We have a partnership, I'm not his maid. If he wants clean underwear, he knows how to work the washing machine now:)

i was a stay at home wife any my husband was a manager of a restaurant. i used to wash his clothes and iron them, blah blah...anyway, my red chonies did get in with his nice white work shirts...OMG i paniked! i had to wash em like 5x with bleach, got the pink out but they started falling apart a few months later, my hubby was like wthell is going on with these shirts? i'm saying idk dear i have no clue! to this day he didn't know what happened! lol been married 16 yrs
