EVery man Does It Once

Dad when he was in the Army had white boxers and t shirts that he wore under his uniform. Mom was in the hospital and he did the whites and something red got mixed in with them. For about a week he was wearing pink underwear.

Honey if his job ends at 5pm and your job lasts all night and weekends too, it's not all your job!

That being said, if I tell my husband to help me by doing _______, I usually end up having to go back over what he did and finish it, or redo it completely. I'm a SAHM also and needless to say I am close to giving up on asking him to do anything. I'm saving up all my requests for help for after the move when I need him to start building a coop and rabbit housing into the new barn.

My son used to have the bad habit of leaving pens in his pockets when he washed them. Our house used to have the problem of polka dots coming out of the laundry.

Mine tried that. 2 college degrees and no common sense. However after his deliberate "too" innocent laundry mess up, I caught on and dragged him to the laundry room and made a class out of doing laundry.
With oral quizzes. At the end of half an hour he was retrained.

Now that I have my front loaders he is not allowed to touch them.

I've never washed clothes.
I never will wash clothes.
When Anne mows the lawn, makes repairs, etc., THEN Nah, even then she'll still have to wash the clothes, do the housework, etc.
Gee, it sure would be nice if she'd take over mowing the lawn and field and making all the repairs instead of the handyman whom I hire to do make repairs.
I see wives mowing lawns. I should never have started... BIG MISTAKE!

Does have analogue components to it? My wife won't let me touch ours either

You know, I can program satellite network applications to do some crazy stuff, and yet, our VCR still says 12:00... blink... 12:00... blink (Yes, we still have a VCR).

But, to let you in on a secret. We do it on purpose. Let's face it, men don't like to do laundry. Once a year or so, I get the task. Everything goes in at once. white, delicate, black, red, green. Doesn't matter. Then I don't have to do it for another year or so. It's the best chore I do all year

Sorry to break it to you this way.

My hubby is convinced that only he knows how to do the wash correctly. I do it when he's not home to keep him from getting too nervous when he hears the washer start up.
