True or Old Wives Tale

[Salad]

I thought it sounded more like an old wives tale. I am very careful with things I do though, this might sound strange but I kind of like hanging out the washing

LOL Salad! I'm with you I like clothes washing... It's dishes I HATE!
I have heard it too. FIL told me in my first pg that his mum lost a baby and she'd always thought it was because she'd hung the washing out He's not always tactful, but he was trying to be helpful I think. I too believe it's not true, just something people used to say to try to explain tragedies that occurred prior to the medical testing that's done these days KWIM?

ive heard this too, but only from one person, and she was 65 or something, no1 else i know has heard of it.

oh and snacks I am with you too I hate dishes I could kiss the person who invented the dishwasher

This is a ridiculous old wives tale!!! A woman DH used to work with believed all these tales, she would make her DH hang out the washing, wash her hair and all sorts just cause she thought the umbilical cord would strangle her baby.
