A Little Monday-Morning Perspective...

[Black Bart]

Few things can make a man feel LESS manly than walking happily toward your bedroom with a load of freshly-folded laundry (that you folded) only to see these cats out your window doin' straight WORK:

Good thing we just had that thread about Mexican food.

I ain’t no arborist. I’ve taken down a few, but I don’t know nearly enough about everything that could go wrong to be comfortable cutting trees that big next to my house. You just keep folding your laundry, and take solace in the fact you won’t be the on the next YouTube compilation of tree cutting disasters.

I could drop each of those trees in the right direction. But I've worked hard enough to pay for someone to clean up the debris.. That's not feminine, that's life. Most things in my life these days go through a fun/money ratio graph in my head. I will not make apologies for it.

Back in my single days, drop off laundry and a maid were fixed expenses every month on my ledger for this exact reason....even still today "maid day" is my favorite day of the week.

A man takes care of things that need doing. If that's laundry, then you do laundry. No shame in my game.

Dang. My man! This bruise ain't as bad as I figgered it'd be on here...

Oh, I suspect you are going to get it pretty good from this crowd. I just ain't in any position to poke fun at a man doing household chores.

Suck ass at folding laundry and you'll never get asked to help.

A man should be self sufficient. If he needs his mommy or better half to take care of him he's useless.

I agree with this. I cook, clean, and fold laundry all the time not because my wife can't, but because I can. Husbands are called to serve.

I do it gladly, but for different reasons.

Mom, God rest her soul, taught me to be independent at a young age. Cooking, doing my own laundry, etc. Rely on no one but yourself. So years later my wife thought she was doing me a favor by doing my laundry. Until I realized she doesn't do bleach on whites. Deal breaker.

Furthermore, I had a method of folding them where everything fit in the drawers just right. She didn't like that either. Now given I wasn't as good at communicating as effectively as I am now, so it probably could have been handled better, but it's done now. So I told her if she wasn't cool doing it the way I asked of her then I could just do it myself. Which I was fine with before the ordeal. No skin of my back.

Since then she doesn't do my laundry. And I'm OK with that.

After my recent situation of finding myself quite single, I am back in the folding laundry business. AND just as I am about to complain to myself about doing it, I realize that folding laundry is much better than the price I paid for it being done for me all those years. Do work, no matter what it is, then never apologize. Now if I could get my 19 yr old son to do some of the chores, then it would really be a win. MG

Be happy you can afford to pay someone to do that and fold laundry! The saying "that's woman's work" is about dead!

I’ve dropped more trees, cut more firewood and run a chainsaw more than my fair share. I’ve folded laundry, cooked dinners, sat and done homework, school drop offs and programs, cleaned house and scrubbed toilets too. You do what it takes to get the job done.

Nothing more needs to be said.

This right here.

Now if the wife isn't helping and is lazy around the house (especially if they are stay at home), then you get what you deserve and you have no right to bitch. This isn't aimed at anyone, just a comment.

Sorry you've missed out on having your toe nails painted, going to tea parties and playing princess.

Like you said, you do what it takes.

I've folded 8 tons of laundry. It's not the end of the world. But toddler laundry is the worst. The pile just never gets smaller no matter how long you fold it.

One basket of their clothes is like ten grown up baskets. And every piece is inside out.
