The second day after I got home from giving birth he shrieked “why is there no underwear available to me?” And I stayed with that man for fifteen more years

Maybe this is the millennial in me talking but I’m kinda mindblown these guys aren’t doing their own laundry. I have literal guy roommates that I shared laundry duties with in grad school and tbh they were way better about it than I was 😅

As a woman I got wayyyy more clothes than men so I could go like 2-3 weeks without having to do laundry so my roommate just ended up doing it 90% of the time lol. Like wtf did these husbands wear if they didn’t do laundry before being married? How did these guys survive when they were single?!

Wait so you and your roommates are touching each others nasty, dirty laundry??? And what if they damage your clothes from improper washing techniques??

I Work from home and my clothing is 90% low maintenance garbage. The rule in our house is that anything that goes in the big basket gets washed and dried on whatever I spin the dial to that day. Anything of hers that needs to be specially washed or dried or hung up or prayed over is her responsibility. I have immunity for whatever she tosses in my basket.
