Laundry Poll

BrittBritt22 · October 2010

Missy's open letter got me thinking, do you do your husband's laundry?
[Poll]

BrittBritt22 · October 2010

I don't. I cook, I clean, and I do the shared laundry (sheets, towels, etc.) I think the man can handle washing his own underwear. Honestly, the thought of doing his never even crossed my mind. Guess I'm not as domesticated as I thought Embarrassed

I do, because I stay at home, its part of my job. Even if I started working I would still do it.

MissySue20 · October 2010

I do his laundry. Although he did it while he was at home and lived on his own, I just can't stand to see it pile up. I like to do it on a regular basis and if left up to him, he would do it when he was on the last towel or pair of underwear. I guess I have spoiled him a bit.

The reason why I feel like I am so behind right now is bc we were out of town for 5 days and only did 3 loads last week before we left instead of the usual 6 or 7 I do a week. I can't imagine how many we will do when we have kids.

amberpro · October 2010

I do mainly because it's easier that way. We put it all in the same laundry bin, and I just do it all together. Honestly, his good clothes wouldn't last 5 minutes if I didn't do the laundry. He just throws everything in together and drys it all on high. Drives me crazy.

He will do a load of his own if he runs out of something (like underwear). He knows that if he ever complains about it not getting done or how it's done then the sh!t will hit the fan.

Ditto amber.... it is all in one hamper and then I just do a load when it gets full. He will do it if he thinks of it....but sometimes he doesn't know what doesn't go in the dryer and then things shrink.

We have one hamper so all the clothes get washed together. Most of the time I do the laundry but he does help out as well doing it. He'll also help fold and put it away. No complains yet.

HE does MY laundry!

muwahahaha. i win! :oP

but if i were to do the laundry, i'd do both at once because it's more efficient and better for the earth (less loads, less electricity, less water, etc)

ccbean034 · October 2010

i do not do H's laundry. i would, but he is very particular about how he washes things, especially his work uniforms. its just easier for both of us. and we both take care of the towels and sheets and stuff.

mrs riva · October 2010

i do his and he does mine. all of it gets tossed into one basket and which ever one of us has more time will do it. generally, we always help the other one out with putting it away. it never occurred to me to not do his laundry, esp if im doing my own. lol.

elpa336 · October 2010

I despise laundry so H does all the laundry and I do all the dishes (which he despises). There are times where I have to do the laundry and it is all just mixed in together so I do his and he does mine all the time. H wears the funniest boxers still so sometimes I get a kick out of pulling a pair out of the pile, makes me laugh.

Midgette · October 2010

I do his.

I do laundry mainly on Sat when he is working, go hang out at my parents and bang 4 loads out!

lca315girl · October 2010

No. We do our own laundry and since we have to go to the laundromat to get it done, it gives me some time out of the apartment in semi-peace and quiet.

Emma61210 · October 2010

I do both of our because a) I stay at home and b) We put them all into one basket, so it would be stupid of me to sort through it all for just my stufff.....

whitneykaye87 · October 2010

All of our laundry goes together. It's easier that way otherwise it'll take me like a month to fill up a load of whites, and by then I've run out of socks.

Whoever notices it's getting full/has time washes it. Our deal is that I fold it (he hates that part) and he puts it away (I can't stand that part). Win-win.

If one of us is really busy though, the other one will just do it all. Teamwork style.

abbeylynne06 · October 2010

Ours is all together, and I do it. (He cleans the bathroom. I think I got the good end of this trade!) We don't have laundry at our apartment so I usually do all of it on the weekend at one of our parents' houses.

Kniblet · October 2010

We have 2 laundry baskets in the closet, one for darks and one for whites. So we throw all of our stuff in together.

Plus, I do the kids laundry separately.

So if I did mine, then his, and then the kids laundry, I would live in the laundry room. No thanks! LOL. It's more efficient and energy saving (on me and the bills) to do our laundry together.

Jewels2010 · October 2010

Yes, but only because I don't have a job right now.

burnsbaby · October 2010

We have one hamper with two divisions- one for whites and on for darks. We just throw all of our stuff in together. Except for his work clothes- he is an electrician and works outside usually on traffic signals and his clothes get dirty/ get oil on them/ get fiberglass insulation on them so I don't like them with my nice work clothes. We wash his work clothes every Friday when he gets home.

Whoever has time does the laundry when it gets full. Usually me on Fridays when I don't sub. We clean the house together every Saturday morning so we'll do it together on Saturdays sometimes.

I'm with you! We do each other's laundry. H had the day off yesterday and did both of our laundry (and he even takes out all the delicates before drying and everything - he's so good!). Other times, if he's swamped, I'll do both of our laundry. It's really nice. Same goes with cooking, cleaning etc. I'm a lucky chick!

barrelbabe004 · October 2010

It's a joint effort for us too. Whoever has time does it. We have a separate hamper for his work clothes and he usually washes those on his day off.

H loves to pretend he's swamped, but when you only work two days a week, it's not very convincing. lol i think i've done laundry maybe 3 times in 4 years? at this point he knows how my laundry gets washed better than i do!

i'm slightly jealous though, because he goes to my parents' house to do laundry (they're gracious enough to let us use their w/d)... i wish i had the time to go and spend some QT with them.

kmt_cas · October 2010

Aww - that's sad that he get's to see your 'rents. We make a pilgrimage to my parent's once in a while when we don't want to spend $12 washing clothes.

On a funny note - after I went on bragging about how good H was about doing laundry, I was picking him up from work and all these kids looked at my car funny and were giggling, then I realized all the dedicates that H separated were on the top of the passenger seat right next to the window LOL so effing funny!
