I do the laundry and most of the cooking and most of the housework,but my wife works more then I do so I have more time to kill.For thirteen yrs she dragged the laundry to the laundrymat and would spend all day there so now that we have our own washer and drier I don't mind.I don't mind being a kept man I can do all the house chores and still have half the day to do what I want just wish I had a building big enough to fit one of my trucks in to work on them.

Living alone, I've done my laundry for a long ol' time now. But, even when my ex-fiancee lived here, I found that I was doing most of it. I have a dishwasher for the dishes, and have been known to dust and vacuum on occasion.
Now, washing my F150... well, that's another matter altogether...

She had to wash my first load over as the disposable diaper stuff was all through it.
She will be checking and sorting it BEFORE it goes in laundry basket. So all I gotta do is grab a sorted load and run er through.
Wonder how the dish washer will do on a timing cover?

Well, Im a bachelor, so I have no choice but to do my own laundry. However, if I had a g/f and were living with her, or if I had a wife, Id have no problem doing the laundry (or any other housework for that matter). Think about it, the wifey comes home and sees you did all the house work for her and she doesnt have to do a thing, theres a good chance you are going to get lucky. Woman go crazy for a man who is all new-age and sensative like that.
To be honest, my ex girlfriend used to come over all the time and try to do my laundry and it kind of annoyed me.
I was always like, "you dont have to clean my house and do my laundry for me to like you." I was with her because I enjoyed her company, not because I wanted a free housekeeper.
Most of you probably think that is kinda dumb on my part, and maybe it is. Im just an independent person and I dont want anyone (especially the woman I love) to think that I cant handle managing my life.

This guy is correct.
I have been like this since 1965...women have shown this for a long time....that they like this in a man.
Just think of all THOSE WOMEN for all those years .....who have stood in line .....with their ticket .....just waiting for a chance.

You know, I do believe in womens lib, but there are some things that I think are womens work and mans work. If a man and woman live together, it only makes sense to split the work that needs to get done around the house. Now, unless the woman wants to mow then, or take out the trash. Then by all means she should share her laundry and dishes. When I was still with my husband, he actually did his own laundry. I did mine and our two daughters. But the only reason he ended up doing his laundry was because he was was of those that piles his clean clothes with the dirty ones. I got tired of re-washing clean clothes, so I said no more and he said OK, he would do it. And it stayed that way for over 10 years.

Father-in-law brought me a multiband radio that was in the trunk of a car that slid off in a drainage ditch and sat under muddy water for 2-3 days and asked if I could fix it. Inside was solid caked mud on two circuit boards. I ran it thru half a dozen diswasher cycles, hung it over the cloths line, and soaked the boards down with CRC226. The darn thing played after all that.
Of course I did get the third degree over it, but a tool is a tool is a tool, and this one was the correct one for the job.
Laundry? I do my own when out of town, but am banned at home because I refuse to sorth things. If the color runs, or it wrinkles in whatever water temp I select, we just don't need it around as far as I am concerned.
