Doing His Laundry

I do all the laundry. Hubby does most of the dishes. We separate laundry by type delicates, towels, etc , not by who it belongs to. It seems weird to me to separate laundry and do different loads for different people. I do all the laundry, which I don't mind doing. He does all the lawn mowing and snow blowing, which I would hate to do.

To be completely honest I've never heard of partners separating their laundry haha We also are definitely conscious of thanking or acknowledging others' work. I make sure to say the yard looks nice when he's been working, he tells me dinner was good or the house looks nice if I cleaned, I thank him for changing my oil, etc.

In my experience, a good way to start getting more acknowledgement is to start giving more. I've been a huge fan of The Five Love Languages in my marriage; my DH is definitely an "acts of service" person and when I started thinking about chores we each do as acts of love, it made it easier for me to suck it up and clean the kitchen instead of leaving it for tomorrow. And I found when I buckle down and do "my" chores," he's more able to relax and spend time with me, which is my love language - quality time.

Don't Miss...

But if I were to leave his laundry, he would be very hurt that I did laundry and deliberately separated his. I don't do my dh's laundry but do both kids, sheets and towels. We have separate laundry baskets. My dh sweats a lot and I don't so I find is laundry to be a lot dirtier and wouldn't want it mingling with mine: Sometimes I will load or unload his laundry but rarely fold it. All our dirty laundry goes into the same hamper so it all gets washed together.

I usually start the laundry and switch it the dryer and he folds When we first got married my husband thought we'd do our own laundry but I thought it didn't make sense due to the fact we live in NYC and didn't have laundry in our unit. So we switch off every other time with whose turn it is to do all the the laundry. This way we each only have to do it x a month. Before we got married I'd just have a laundry service do mine and put it in my budget. Hubby thought that was a waste of money: We wash all the clothes together, but we share the responsibility. Sometimes I'll throw a load in the wash and he'll throw it in the dryer and then I fold.

It all depends on what we're doing. Sometimes I do it all start to finish and vice versa. But I look at it this way - I can do the laundry because he cuts the grass.

We each have shared responsibilities. What I do when I've done something and my husband doesn't seem appreciative - I go out of my way and mention, "Hey, did you see all your laundry was done?? We used to have one hamper that all the clothes went in and either of us would do the laundry.

But I have a lot of clothing that's "dry flat" or "line dry". Hubs likes to wash warm and dry completely. We bought a divided hamper and keep our laundry separate and do our own. Baby has her own hamper and we both do her laundry. We both do all the laundry in our house. It's really whoever gets to it first on the weekends. Occasionally if my husband needs to wash his PTs or ACUs prior to that, he will actually do a few loads during the week.

At most, I would say that I generally fold all the laundry because I like to do it right when it comes from the dryer. I only do it if he asked me or if it fits into my schedule. That particular day I am washing all the clothes otherwise he washes his own.
