Do you do his laundry?

I did my ex-husband's laundry the whole time we were together. I also did most of the housework and I was the one with a job making money. I could never get him to help me out and that was one reason why our marriage fell apart.

We've always combined our laundry. It's just easier that way. I can't see us each having seperate piles for our dirty clothes... and how do you divide up the misc laundry like towels, wash clothes, beddings that you both use? I agree that if you're living together it's fine to divide up the chores... but I just can't justify dividing the laundry. I'd rather we take turns doing the household laundry, our clothing included. Of course in my house dividing chores or taking turns doing laundry just doesn't exist, lol! I do it all. I honestly can't remember the last time he did laundry, and if I left it to him, it would never get done. I don't normally complain, there's only a few times it really bothers me, and that's usually my extremely stressful days. But I'm a stay at home mom, so the house and the kids are my job. His job is to provide for us, fix stuff around the house, and the occasional odd chore I ask him to do. Back when we first moved in together and both worked, we actually made a list of chores we each did. We'd take turns cooking, doing dishes, changing the litter, etc. Basically whatever he did yesterday, I'd do today. Our list of chores included things like bathing my son and spending play time with him too. That list didn't last long.

My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years and we still do our own laundry. I mainly do our son's laundry as well mostly because I think I take more care of our clothes then my husband does (he is a guy and doesn't really care to use spray and wash! lol) It has always been like this for us and he really doesn't want me to do his laundry so I don't!

I have a question for you, when you two finally decide to tie the knot will you still have the same routine. I was my husband's clothes and I did even before we got married. I understand the splitting stuff in half but I think that is just a little to much. But my kids that is a whole neither issue. My 2 oldest ones do wash their own clothes, I feel they need the know how plus that is part of their chores,because when I met my husband he didn't know how to even separate colors from whites plus his mom was washing his clothes. Oh but don't think he don't help with the washing now. I showed him how so whenever I can't get to wash the clothes he have to step up. But other then that thing are 50/50 in my house. We both work but everything comes in 1 household so theres no need for the divining of anything in my home.

I usually do all the laundry for my partner and I. It's not that he's not willing to help, but I'm a bit particular about the way I like things washed and how I formulate loads, etc. I also find that we do fewer loads of wash when we combine laundry, so it saves us time and money putting our things together. We used to separate laundry, but now it's just much easier to keep it all together.

wow, you have a good thing going on. very smart of you to keep laundry duty seperate. when and if you two marry you will be better off. so many times the woman winds up with doing all the laundry. i know when my husband and i first got together we did laundry together but it became more one-sided as time went on. i do all the laundry now! sometimes he would do it but i didn't like the way he did mine so I took the easier way out and now I do it all! he helps with household chores but basically acts like it is my "job" and he's "helping" me. uuuggghhh!

Nope not married so I cannot say what will happen. Don't have a fiance either. I do my own clothes since I started. I believe it was in elementary school sometime, perhaps when I was about ten years old. At that time I didn't do all of them but I did do some. When I got a little older I started doing all my clothes. Now I wash my own clothes. They don't know how to wash the clothes. They usually put the dyer on full heat (I always use lowest setting). They usually wash it as heavy duty in washer while I use gentle (delicate) cycle. They'll use warm water for things that need to be washed in cold water. I've had clothes shrunk and clothes faded. I'd rather wash my OWN clothes rather than have someone else, be it parents, girlfriend or wife. Hehehe. Pablo

I had a very traditional marriage. I stayed home with the children and did all the housework, laundry and some of the simple home repairs. He went to work every day, usually 10+ hours, and I had a nice dinner on the table when he came home. I could really have used some help when the kids were very young but he wasn't home much.

I've always just done my boyfriend's and my laundry together. It just seems weird to have two seperate laundry baskets. Whoever notices that there is a full load in the hamper starts the laundry, and I usually end up being the one to take it out, fold it, and put it away. We both do our fair share of laundry though, so it comes out about even.

My fiance does the laundry for both of us, so I am very lucky, and I really appreciate that. When I was living with my ex-boyfriend I did the landry for both of us for years, and he had a lot of landry as he worked in more than one place and had different clothes for each job. I started doing his laundry when I moved in with him, but we divided the household duties between us. I hate to cook so he cooked for us and I cleaned and did the landry. I didn't mind in the beginning, but after a while I got a bit tired of doing lots of laundry every week, especially because we didn't have our own washing-machine.

When I lived with my boyfriend for a very short stint (about four months until we split), I did my own laundry and he had his dry cleaned - so as you can imagine, we took care of our own business. Perhaps thats why it didn't work out. . I haven't ever been engaged or married to someone before, though, so I can't really answer your question in full. [em]lol[/eM].

Yes I do my partners laundry! I like the way you do things with your partner but I'm a stay at home Mum so that is my job now! I can't remember what it was like before we had children. I think I have been doing it from the beginning, I'm not sure if he knows how to do the laundry!

We just got married for 1 month, of course i do his laundry. yes, you can work and both pay half the bills of yours, but can you require half of the child who you are going to have? Living with each other or getting married means you are a family now. you must make "2" become "1". So try to do his laundry can show your love for him. Happy mylotting!

My Fiencee does all the laundry and housework. I only cook and feed the animals. I work full time and my partner 1/2 time but we earnt he same so he has more spare time than me and he loves to clean and i hate it so were suited perfectly i think? :)

my hubby and i have been married for 21 years and i have done and still do all of his laundry. he works full time and i work part time, so i have more time. not fair you say? well he does all of our cooking, so it all works out in the end.

Since Hubby and I first started living together I've done the household things. When we first started out we lived in an apartment and had to go to the laundry room to do laundry. He'd help carry it over and back and we'd fold it together. Later when we got our own machines I took care of it. I don't mind...laundry is actually one of the chores I like to do.

To be honest my mom always did my wash so my hubby had to teach me how to do it. We'd do our own wash as needed when we lived in our apartment or we would do it togeather at the laundrymat. But since I've become a stay-at-home mom I've always been the one to do it. Upon occasion hubby would do some wash to help me catch up as I can't always attend to the wash as much as I'd like with my kids. As the minute I hear furniture move I know I have to drop everything and head upstairs & plumbing issues doesn't always help things any further ya know. But I do expect him to be able to open his mouth and tell me if he's running low on work uniforms as he doesn't always throw them down the chute but mixes them up with clean and I have no idea some times what's what ya know...

We do divide the tasks but not quite like that. For example, I do all the laundry because I like doing it. He does all the vacuuming because he doesn't mind and it hurts my back. We both do dishes. When I cook he usually does most of them and when he cooks I mostly do. Just depends. No way, no how am I stuck with all the housework!

I wash and put away his laundry. It's easier than buying new socks every time his come out pink! I've gotten mad at him for not helping with dishes, but it's a trade off. I don't much want to help change oil or work in the garage. I get kinda mean when I hit my finger with a hammer. He does take turns with the vacuum cleaner, and we work together on shaving the dogs. He does his while I hold it, and I do mine while he holds it. I don't like housework, but I don't want to 'share' in the outside work!

When me and my husband first moved in together, I did all the laundry at once. Instead of running the machine for small loads, and more loads. Doing two or three is alot better and saves times and money than doing 6 loads. Now, that I have kids, our laundry has gone up but it's still done all together.
