  • She does the laundry, I grocery shop and cook...It's worked well for us for 12+ years. We also have a cleaning service which pretty much handles the rest.

    Putting a ring on a woman's finger is like pulling the cord on an inflatable life raft.

    More like putting too much air IN...

  • I do my own, she does hers. She does the kiddos laundry ( thank god ) and I do all the towels. We try to do everything as close to 50/50 as we can, except when it comes to yardwork. She mows the yard while I lay in my hammock drinking an ice cold beer. Nothing like an ice cold beer and the smell of grass.

    Yes, because we both want to live there. no We finally have 2 incomes now starting last month, so now we can finally move out. Mine income was enough to pay the bills, and nothing more (not even save). I'm still looking for a real job too, but it's not easy. At least I have something for now though.

  • I do my laundry, she does the rest. I do the cooking during the week, she cleans up afterwards. She does the grocery shopping, because she doesn't like the way I do it lol. She probably does more than me, but I try to help as much as possible.

    I can't understand people that complain about having to do laundry. You throw it in the washer and then go back to whatever you want to do for 30 minutes. Then you take 1 minute to move it to the dryer, and go back to what you were doing for 30-45 minutes.

    I guess I understand complaints if you don't have a washer and dryer at your house/apartment (I never lived anywhere without my own washer and dryer except the dorms, so I've never actually been to a laundromat). If you had to actually pack up your clothes, drive somewhere, sit and hang out for a couple hours, and eventually take it all home, I could see complaining about doing laundry. Other than that, doing laundry is by far the easiest chore

    The complaining comes from having to sort, fold and put away the clothes. That's the sucky part and where it becomes an annoying chore.

    That said, I've never let any of my girlfriends (still not married) do my laundry. I'm just too picky of how I want/need my clothes washed and dried.

  • I've done all my own laundry since I was about 15. My wife does hers and we split our daughters. It's a decent setup.

  • Wow, some of you waited til college to have to do your own laundry? confused I probably have been doing my own since 13-14 where we had a washer and dryer I could use.

  • Don't share jobs, it only leads to trouble. My jobs are grocery shopping, cooking, bills and fixing shit, hers are laundry, cleaning and acting slutty on command.

    Yes. I do laundry, as well as cook and clean. The wife and I pretty much share all the duties of the house as we both work full time. It would be different if she stayed at home.

    Also, according to science, you don't get laid very often.

  • My husband does the wash, but is "encouraged" not to do the drying, as he puts everything together and overloads the dryer. I told him that it is typical that men feign incompetence so they are banned from doing certain chores. He "wore" that but/and it is the deal around our house that, since we both work, if a job needs to be done, just do it.

  • Yes, I do laundry. So does Mrs. Mizer. Who cares, the machines do most of the work.

    You're wrong there jodi. Men are incompetent. It's not an act.

    Wife and I got in a little tiff last night over laundry. The problem itself is kind of silly, but I was curious how many married guys do any laundry?

    I do ALL the laundry in our house. I'm a control freak, but after finding the following items in the dryer over the course of several years : lipstick, gum, candy wrapper, chapstick, tampon (unused).....it's an unwritten rule that Dad does the laundry.

    Wife and I will be celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary later this year. We always said, and raised our kids that way too, "There is no such thing as women's work and men's work... there is just WORK. We've always shared chores, each doing cooking, cleaning or laundry as our schedules fit one but not the other. Wife prefers though to do "special laundry" which are all her special frabric type of clothes and I now do all heavy lifting, yard, snow stuff..in part because of her physical condition. That answer it for you?

    From a personal standpoint, my wife actually shovels as much or more than I do. I mow the lawn, but that's mostly because I'm picky about how it looks. My wife offers to mow the lawn, but I don't trust her to do a good job with it and I kind of like getting outside for 90 minutes on the weekend in the summer.

    ok, your posts are making me laugh.

    when I read your comments I get nervous, slightly uneasy or edgy and wonder how your wife copes.

    Just some general observations man.

    I also do ALL outside work though so I guess it balances itself. I also do most of the cooking (mostly because she SUCKS).

    Lots of great answers today. I asked the question because I grew up with my Mom doing all the laundry, but my wife and I both do laundry. Our tiff part wasn't a big deal and probably doesn't apply to most on here, but it made me wonder what arrangements other couples have. Honestly I assumed most men didn't do much of their laundry. Being that I've done my own I'm rather glad to hear a lot of guys say they do their own also.
