re: Any married baw have to do laundry?

I usually have a weekday off so I took over laundry a couple of years ago. More time for us to do other things in the weekend. I don’t mind the folding but I hate putting the kids’ clothes away. Everything is hung.

I do my own laundry. We both work and pretty much split housework 50/50. She does a lot more of the inside work because I take care of the yard.

My wife is a doctor and works about 1.5-2x as many hours as I do and a lot of the household chores fall on me. I have zero issues doing the housekeeping to include the vast majority of cooking also.

My wife and I are both doctors, but she makes about 50% more than me. I happily do the laundry and any other daily chores that need doing.

I hate the way my wife does laundry.
I use all the settings. I run my whites on a custom 2 hour and 40 minute cycle.
She puts all her stuff together

Inside is hers, outside is mine.

Yep, even cooking. I won't cook inside and she won't cook outside. It's comical how hard we stick to it.

We were bickering about who was going to cook the gumbo one day. She wanted to listen to music and start the roux I wanted football. I went and cranked up the propane burner and outside TV. I won that day.

She did happily chop all my veggies for me though.

When I’m not offshore I do it. It’s not a big deal. The wife takes care of the kids 100% so doing some laundry between naps isn’t too much to ask of me.

No. I work for a living.

I have never started our washing machine in the 7 years we’ve lived here. Started the dryer a couple weeks ago for the first time to knock some wrinkles out a shirt. Wife just given a raise to over $200k plus bonus this week.

Not so subtle “my wife wears the pants” brag, but she still does the laundry.

We share laundry duties on a lot of shared things like towels and bed sheets, but we tend to do our own clothes because we like our clothes dried differently.
