Seriously . . . there are men that think about the laundry?

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.

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

My DH does laundry better than I do.. I always forget that something is in there that shouldn't go in the dryer, but he always is very thorough in going through the clothes.

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"
