Laundry

Question for you all...do you do your husband's laundry or does he do his own (or even yours and his)?

A few months ago I was with some of my family and I had said that my husband does his own laundry and everyone made me feel horrible for not doing it.  I do do his laundry sometimes, or at least part of it if I need more to complete a load.  The same debate came up at work the other day and our CFO said he does his own laundry...which made me feel a little better about it.

In my defense...he moved into my house after I had lived there for a year.  His clothes and laundry basket are in the guest room closet because our bedroom closet was already full with my stuff.  And he prefers to use a different laundry detergent.  I think if our clothes/laundry were in the same room, I would probably do all of it.  And he truly doesn't care either way who does his laundry.  

Just curious how others handle this....

Re: Laundry

  • I do all the laundry on Sunday.  If H is home, he helps fold/ put it away.

    Honestly, if it works for you - then I wouldn't care what other people do.

  • Ben generally does his own laundry.  If i'm home all day on a Saturday or something I'll throw a load in, but he doesn't expect me to.

    I hate laundry so I definetly don't want do his too! haha

  • Before I had Annabelle I did all the laundry, including ironing all his wok clothes but now that I have Annabelle we do the laundry together. We use the same hamper and when its full whoever has the minute to throw it in does it. I usually do Annabelles clothes though but we fold clothes together unless someone has more time.

    Same here. Shawn would rather do that than grocery shop or clean the bathrooms so I do that stuff and he does the laundry.

  • I am not opposed to doing his laundry but def don't want him to do mine.  He normally does his own though. It's easier that way.

    DH does laundry sometimes, but usually only when he needs clothes for work. Which means he'll throw a load of whites in, then leave them in the dryer forever. He does put it away for the most part if I do it. I don't mind doing laundry, but I hate cleaning toilets, so that's out trade off.

    I hate the grocery store so I usually find a way to get out if that one.  If anything well go together, but it's rare to find myself alone there.  But I do typically clean the bathroom...

  • I do all of our laundry except for dh's work clothes.. He rather do them himself because he is really picky about them.
  • I do all the laundry at our house.

     

  • I do it all, but I don't put his away.  I lay it out on the bed for him to fold/hang up himself.
