The last load he started, he left there so it's sour and the extent of what he will do is put in wash, keep checking it and get it to the dryer. Our washer tends to go out of balance a lot.

So I am redoing that load and will need to put all the clean laundry away.

MAYBE he might bring the dirty clothes down. IDK.
