Oh, no, he didn't.

DBF did laundry yesterday!! It's still sitting in a 4' high wrinkled pile in the laundry room, but he did laundry. Doesn't that count?

Really? When we moved out of our last house, we didn't list it for a while (doing improvements outside), and a pipe cracked and started leaking. The whole floor (it was Quic-Step) in the hallway swelled up like a book that gets wet. It was horrible, and we were sure we were going to have to replace the whole thing. But we called the guy who installed it for us, and he said, "Just put a fan on it, and leave it for a few days, and see what happens."

I'll be darned if it did not eventually completely regain its original shape! You could've knocked me over with a feather. There was no sign that the floor had been damaged.

Depends. Was it just HIS laundry? And if so, was he out of clothes? If so, then no. No points. Especially since they're not folded! If he washed some of your things (and did not ruin them, or you're not going to have to rinse and dry them again to get the wrinkles out, or iron them), then partial credit may be awarded.

I do the dishes and the laundry and program the vcr (well dvr these days), deal with computer problems (so many pest and virus programs just to keep Mr. Click safe

), "honey how does my cell phone work?". What happend to division of labor! Oh yeah, that's back in the first post.

+1 He did laundry for both of us.

+1 It appears that he may have even sorted.

-1 He didn't ask if anything needed stain treatment.

-5 Everything went into the dryer instead of being line dried.

-10 About 4 loads of unfolded laundry are sitting in a massive pile.

Net effect: -14 points

They really don't "get" that a massive pile of unfolded, wrinkled laundry that happens to be clean instead of dirty is, at best, a lateral move.

You know what cracks me up? My friends refer to watching their own kids alone as "babysitting"... I always tell them "they are your kids, you're not babysitting you doofus, you're just being a father"...

I was divorced when my daughters were 4,3 and 1. I have joint custody. I don't consider myself anything special but I never had any problems managing three young kids while most of my friends are horrified watching their kid (note singular) for 2 hours when their wives have to go shopping....

...and I was the divorced one...and they're still married....

I agree. I always hated that too when I would hear it called "baby sitting". My sons father just decided he was my "job" until he was about 6. Then he became fun to hang out with! Well of coarse! The "hard" work was all ready done! He had manners, dressed himself and wiped his own butt!!
