Wink Should men do Laundry?

Mama took the boy's to school today and made a trip to town for supplies. Don't expect them back till around 5PM. Soooo I thinks I'm gonna help out and do some laundry. First load I find one of thous disposable diapers that our 5 year old still needs at night (Thought about running it through the dryer but changed my mind). Especially after finding a dime a Hot Wheels car, two puzzle pieces and a crayon. Second load is in. Lets see how that goes. Yes I did remember to clean the lint trap, but that was after I found the other stuff. Glade I don't have these kinda problems in the shop. HAAAAAA

My wife works and I don"t, so I do laundry among other things around the house.
You might say I am a kept man.

Thats an understatment! Some of the stuff does funny tricks when washed with your boxers or thrown in the drier.

You've already found out that no one ever checks their pockets, crayons etc can make a heck of a nice tie dye pattern out of her/your delicate underthings.

My wife likes it when I do laundry, but certain things of hers I said that I would never, ever throw in the wash!

Sounds like you have it mastered. Be careful, if you do too good a job it may be yours for life.

i intentionally screwed up laundry as i posed as the good guy doing it(it worked for almost 2 yrs). she said get the hell away and don't ever touch it again.
i got caught telling my brother this trick and have been doing it since.
now it's whites, colors, rugs, the dog, dishes, and anything else i can put in the washer so as not to waste water. (actually it's so i don't waste my time)

"should a guy do laundry?"

Why? Do you like shrunken, pink underwear?

Hi Carl haven't heard from ya in a few days.
Well I think maybe I better be highly medicated when she gets home as I just checked the load in the dryer. The jeans and throw rug were still a little damp so I reset It for another hour. This gonna hurt her undy things?

I just fixed the dishwasher. Wouldn't pump out so I put the drain hose on the faucet and blew whatever was in there back in. Works great now. Shrunken pink undies? I will be right back.

I always do my own. Told the wife and kids to do their own too. Nobody can complain about how it is done then. Did I mention we are not married anymore? I still do my own wash.

Glad to hear from you Carl.

IMO, Men should do everything (share the workload) a woman does in the home.

I started doing laundry,cooking ,cleaning,vacuuming when I was 8 yo....and haven't stopped.
