Laundromat
Yesterday I was doing my laundry at the laundromat with my boyfriend. I had all my dirty clothes separated into darks, colors, and whites. My boyfriend on the other hand threw all of his dirty clothes into one load and he had darks, colors, and whites just like me. I asked him why he didn't separate them like I did and his response was "I don't know, takes too much time". I would agree, when I first started to wash my own clothes it was difficult and time consuming to separate my clothes but it helps in the long run. I got used to separating clothes that it has just become natural to me. It just baffles me how different women and men can be when it comes to laundry. When all of our loads of laundry were done, I folded mine and put them in my laundry basket where my boyfriend just through them in his basket and was ready to go. When we got back to his house we just left his clothes sit in the basket to get all wrinkled. I was the one who folded his clothes and pt them away in their correct spot so he could find them. He thanked me and said he would start helping out with his laundry but he should right? I mean it is HIS laundry!

I will mention that I am a male before commenting. Contrary to popular belief, not all men are bad at doing household chores/cleaning/laundry. At a young age, I learned from my parents how to properly sort my laundry and it has stuck by me for my whole life. I think people just become used to doing something their way until they can really see the value in changing. I can see how your situation would be frustrating as he may not be educated about the importance of sorting laundry and folding clothes.
ReplyDeleteHim and I definetly have different views about many things including laundry. But seeing your perspective helps. I guess my boyfriend and I never talk about it so I never see his side of the story, I just assume that I am right. We are working on laundry together now and if he needs help sorting, I will be there to help him.
