Mine thinks about laundry a lot. No really he always wants to know why his one pair of favorite shorts aren't washed and ready to wear all the timed. He's also very good at telling me when he is down to his next to last pair of socks or underwear.

Bob does MOST of the laundry, except for some of my stuff that has "special rules".

And he knows exactly how many minutes in each cycle. If he's waiting for "my" load to be done so he can put it in the dryer for me, he'll ask "What time did you put it in?"

Are you KIDDING? As in "seventeen minutes ago"? Like I pay attention to the time I start a load of laundry?

He's very schedule-oriented.

Cool! Time to get him started on kitchen and bathroom schedules.

He does the dishes (kitchen schedule) and he changes the toilet paper (bathroom schedule). And he doesn't leave the seat up.

One day a housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt.
Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to his wife,

"What setting do I use on the washing machine?""

It depends," she replied. "What does it say on the shirt?"

He yelled back, "University of Michigan"

LMAO. Men can be such deep thinkers

My DH and kids were taking care of the laundry and everything else around the house a few years ago - I was non-weight bearing due to a broken ankle.

The first time I went to use the dryer the insde was blue I asked all three of them how it got blue. It was a mystery, none of them had any idea

I think it's much safer if I do the laundry

I dont want to hear, men cant do this or that, as a sole parent I did it all and did so b4 godzilla left. even my kids helped when they could, like seans first load of laundry and half a bottle of ERA,

took a good 8 hours to get the suds to stop flowing from every pipe and even the toilet, my mom tells me later vinegar will help cut it, yeah thanks i killed my wash machine running rinse cycle after rinse cycle

still b2u this was one of the best laughs i have had in a long time thank you
