Do you fold his socks?
Mr. and I are having a debate about folding his socks (I don't). So I'm wondering how many of you fold your DH socks?
Re: Do you fold his socks?
He can fold his own damn socks. /gavel
BF and I have already agreed that when he moves in he will be doing his own laundry, so it will not be an issue in our house. I think that if you are doing his laundry, he should be grateful to you for doing it, and keep any complaints to himself. If he doesn't like how you do it, he can do it himself. Walla! (that was for you Hales)

We have a division of labor in our house - I do laundry, cook, grocery shop, and keep things straightened up and organizied. He does the dishes, cleans bathrooms, mops and vacuums. So yes, I fold DH's socks and am happy to do so because it means that I don't have to scrub toilets!! Shabam! (I dunno, everyone else was using an exclamatory phrase or sound effect, so I thought I'd join in.)
We don't have "his" & "hers" laundry. I do the laundry most of the time, and part of that is folding/putting the clothes away and matching/foldiing socks, so yes, I do fold his socks. DH does help me fold clothes & socks about 50% of the time.

we each do our own laundry, but when DH slacks off and has a huge pile of stuff to put away, i'll usually fold his tees and match his socks and do the top roll thingie.
and shabam?? my new fave word

I do all the laundry, including folding his socks and other clothes. If I did not fold his socks, he would keep them in a giant pile and choose random socks that don't go together each day. I'm a bit anal and always match up his socks with it's appropriate mate (length, thickness, etc.) How he got so many different types, I don't know! I've bought him more socks, but he won't get rid of his old ones. I take great pleasure in tossing them when they get a hole. Muwahahaha! Eventually, all his socks will be the same (or at least less varied) and folding his socks will take less time.
BTW I do all the laundry because he has proven that he is incapable of sorting, checking pockets, or getting items out of the washer before they sour. I will occasionally ask him to start a load (that I've already sorted) or change it out from the washer to the dryer if I am busy, but once it leaves the dryer it is my domain solely. It would be wasteful of water and detergent to make him do his own clothes. Besides, if we did that, he'd keep all his clothes in a wrinkled pile and I can't stand that. This is the same man who used to wear gray pants, denim shirt, and brown loafers to work every day. I took him to buy new clothes as soon as I saw that! He'd walk out the door a wrinkled mess if I let him.
That said... he does 99% of the dishes and all of the cooking, so I don't mind doing the laundry.

If I get the clean load out of the dryer, I will sort and hang up my clothes and piece out his clothes on the bed. All shirts laid out in one pile, face up, all pants layered together, etc so nothing is lumped up and then wrinkled. I just throw his boxes and socks in one pile. He can handle sorting them, but I never realized until last weekend that he didn't know how to roll his socks. I just figured he liked his sock drawer to be a mishmash pile of different socks. So I taught him how to roll each pair up
He'll hang up his own clothes tho.
I do all cooking, he does ~75% of the cleaning, we share laundry duty (just get the shiit clean! I don't care who puts it in the washer/dryer). He's more adept at making everything "neat & orderly". I'm more of a slob - our dining room table has become a pile of papers. Drives him batty and I totally don't care about it! He'll sometimes just do a whirlwind cleaning so that once I come home everything is clean, but also gone. So I call him "fingers" and in he touches shiit and it disappears! "Hey Fingers! Where'd the grocery list go??" That kind of thing.
But I love that he does keep our place very clean

Our house chores are divided as well, very similar to GardenPeach's: DH does the dishes, cleans the bathrooms, vacuums, and takes care of the dogs. I cook, grocery shop, do the laundry, dust, and make up the bed. So yes, I fold his socks, otherwise he A. looses mates and B. takes 15 minutes trying to find matching ones in the mornings.
