Men doing laundry! - October 2nd 2010, 02:15 PM

I said male advice prefered, but females are welcome to share their thoughts

Do any of you guys on here do their own laundry? Or atleast help out with the laundry in their home?

Because I know of many guys who don't do any laundry (or housework for that matter). And I just wondered how universal it is. Is it really still that women, and practically only women do the laundry?

Please can some of you put the faith back into me that guys aren't 100% useless!

In our house everyone takes care of their own laundry. I always do my own and have done for years. Never really even thought about it to be honest, I mean it's barely 2 minutes to throw it into the washing machine and switch it on, same for drier.

Housework is always ridiculously easy if everyone simply cleans up after themselves right away. Turns it into occasional 5-10 minute jobs each day.

Well you're all charmers then! I know of someone, who's like 40 and still pays his mother to do his laundry! And my mother does all the laundry in the house and my brother does NOTHING. He doesn't even make his own food.

I help my wife out with the laundry. It gets interesting though because she's all about separating different colors and I just do the guy thing and combine it. I don't combine whites and colors though so don't worry about that. I also wash towels by themselves, sheets with fabric softener, and wash it all on cold. I've also done laundry on my own for about 10 years now and my wife trained...I mean showed me the importance of washing certain things with certain other clothes.

I know a lot of guys who do their own laundry. Pretty much all of them are people who live away from home at university so unless they take it home they sort of have to do it themselves. My friends boyfriend also helps with the laundry. They live together and share the housework.


I even heard your mamma wanted some of this...

I'm married...... and no he doesn't do his own laundry.. Though I wish sometimes he'd at least do one load fully from start to finish >.> Sure would make things easier.

LOL I am scared of the laundry machine

I messed up the first time I tried and ruined all the clothes resulting in my parents being super pissed.

I never touched the laundry ever since unless I am doing it on only my own clothes

It's scary how women think that they don't need men. Sure you can probably use science, but why would you want to? Sounds like we're heading towards a misandric future :|

And I do my own once in a while, but I'm 14 so I normally get my parents to do it LOL.

It could work...if it was inexpensive and if every woman was a lesbian. But that ain't gonna happen

I am living alone, except for this moment due to certain circumstances, so I do all the laundry. Even when I live(d) with others I ended up doing everything around the house...

LMAO. That made my day. I think continuing the human race is all men want to do...or at the very least practice Nah but seriously I know a number of guys who do their own laundry. In my house my mom did it all though which was something I vowed I would never do. I think house work should be split 50-50.

Also, thanks is only given when something GOOD happens.

And I've actually started doing a bit more of my laundry in the past week. I now do all my pajamas, and my own clothes at weekends

I do all the laundry, and actually, a lot of the chores of my home. Big surprise?


To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better...; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
