re: Any married baw have to do laundry?

IMO, authorities and roles in marriages and families should never be task driven but I understand why so many do. Same with why so many separate things like bank accounts. It's easier to compartmentalize "mine" and "yours" for many people. It's not how I would ever want to live and marry as a husband and not the example I want to set forward for what to expect in a husband to my daughter when she becomes of age. Should everyone have some of their own personal responsibilities and roles, absolutely but life is too short to dig in my heels over things like not doing laundry or dishes because I do yard work.

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.

Is your wife single?

True, but folding and putting away laundry is gay.

Your Mom is gay.

I do mine so my cloths don't get ruined.

I don't have to. I do it to be a helpful husband.

Any married baw have to do laundry?
—only if I want it done

Everybody talking about separating laundry by household member. Do people really do that?

Oh definitely, we all have our own baskets (two each). One for dirt clothes (daughter's softball stuff, my running stuff, wife's scrubs) and we have another basket for dirty towels and linens.

As soon as someone else's laundry is mixed with mine, it's an automatic sock deficit somewhere along the way. It's as true as time....unless it's my own and only mw own laundry in the washer and dryer, something will happen to my socks.

I don’t even know how to work that stuff in the laundry room

The first time I saw my wife do laundry, she washed whites and reds on hot. So no she doesn’t do my laundry.

Wife ends up doing it. I will regularly start the process, then it all comes to a halt at the folding process. I hate folding clothes. Wife hates it too, but she hates it more when I do it, so it works out.

Funny thing is I'm actually quite particular with my own nice stuff. Haven't had to wear dress clothes since the pandemic. But when I did, there was a separate bag for my stuff in the closet and I'd wash, hang dry, and iron my stuff separately.
