I always put away. mrs. wagon on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1/page/2#post-912330 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:46:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 912330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I bring it downstairs and put it in... we dry kids clothes on low heat so he checks and restarts the dryer several times until it's done... then he brings it out and I fold. For our laundry we do a similar system but he folds all t-shirts, the one thing I absolutely hate folding. He also brings the laundry downstairs if it's our laundry. I put all laundry away. mrsjyw on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1/page/2#post-912328 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:45:28 +0000 mrsjyw 912328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Me~ sometimes he'll do a load here and there but it's "my" chore in the house Alivoo01 on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1/page/2#post-912314 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:39:44 +0000 Alivoo01 912314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Me mediagirl on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1/page/2#post-912293 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:31:45 +0000 mediagirl 912293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do it most of the time. He will do it if there is absolutely nothing else to do. I prefer him to do dishes/mow the lawn to doing laundry. heffalump on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1/page/2#post-912291 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:31:12 +0000 heffalump 912291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually me, I'm a SAHM so I'm home to do it. But since I'm pregnant and exhausted now I usually put it in the wash in the morning when I have the most energy and DH finishes it when he gets home. looch on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1/page/2#post-912287 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:29:52 +0000 looch 912287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do it. my husband is also terrible at folding.

Ill usually do the switch. I get some of the folding done. So more him than me. yin on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1/page/2#post-910591 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 23:55:43 +0000 yin 910591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do laundry and put it away. DH is usually at work when I do laundry. If he is home the noise from the washer scares him, and he has no idea where it is coming from.

He doesn't expect me to and he can do his own, but I see it pile up and I just do it for him. We have separate laundry baskets!

He doesn't hang up any of my clothes because he has deemed them 'confusing' lol. He has started doing diaper laundry as well. sarac on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1#post-909059 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:43:16 +0000 sarac 909059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Me, as part of my duties as stay at home parent. It's one of my least favorite.

I'm actually not sure when this happened in our house, because I actually taught DH to do laundry...somewhere along the line, though, he took it and ran with it. I'll do it, but he is particular, so I usually just fold :) I'm the cook, and he's the dish washer. We both clean, and he does laundry. It works pretty well. sslm on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1#post-908960 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:55:27 +0000 sslm 908960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually I do it. DH does help sometimes! I'd say it's an 85/15 split.

I cook well, clean great and take car of our son well, but I suck at laundry. He washes and folds. I'll do the ocassional "emergency load" in the daytime while he's at work...this means: peed on crib sheets, vomit onesies, pooped on sleepers :) things that cannot wait in the hamper!

I'd say the majority of the time it's me, unless he gets home from a long work trip and will be home for a long time (sitting at home while I'm at work)--then he'll usually take over! mrsmate on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1#post-908934 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:45:42 +0000 mrsmate 908934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually do it but DH has been doing it since I got pregnant. I may have to start doing it again bc he sucks at it.

The nanny thought I didn't even know how. LOL. One day she told me the power had gone out, so I should tell my husband when he got home to turn the washer back on. Hahaha I was like, "I know how to work the machine, lady!"

PurplePeony on "Who does the laundry?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-laundry-1#post-908913 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:36:50 +0000 PurplePeony 908913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do 85-90% of it, but he recently decided that he can't deal with my unscented detergent anymore and wants to start using a smelly kind. If he doesn't like the way I do laundry, he is *more* than welcome to do his own...I'm interested to see what happens when he runs out of undies, because I can't stand scented detergents (as in, they actually make me nauseated).
