Les:

That’s like my marriage, in reverse. My wife can’t stand the way I do laundry, so she just does it all now.

For example, she separates laundry by color and cycle. I have “whites” and “other stuff.”
I believe we bought a large washer so we could fill it. She disagrees.

The only time my shirts get ironed is when my wife gets tired of me wearing wrinkled shirts. Which isn’t as often as you might think.

I do my own laundry. Melissa offered to do it early on, but she lets it sit in the drier and get wrinkled, so I decided it was easier to do it myself.

I immediately thought of lifting weights (my other big thing besides shootin’ irons) when I saw “pumping iron”, but learned waht that really meant a long time ago when I asked my uncle, who had spent some time as a bachelor, “how much do you think you can press?” Without hesitation and matter-of-factly, he said, “two shirts and a pair of pants”.

I don’t mind running a load of clothes or doing the dishes myownself, with my lady doing something else

I don’t think anyone will accuse “us” of not having our proper understandings of roles in the home, though.

I do my own laundry.

I actually do. It is not because of some metrosexual thing or the wife makes me. I do it because she folds my shirts like an epileptic monkey on speed.
