Oh girl, just... wait... it honestly gets worse. Every day for years and years and eons and eons I have done dishes. Dinner dishes. Lunch dishes. Breakfast. On holidays. At other people's houses when I've gone for dinner. It NEVER ENDS.

Never. And if you dwell on it, you'll go crazy. Like the fact that you JUST did all the laundry and now there is something dirty in the hamper - or, hey, how many times do you have to fill up the drawers, huh? Why does everyone leave all their clothes on the floor and expect you to pick them up? When is someone going to do YOUR laundry for you and fold it and hang it up?

Oh yeah... dont' dwell. Just mindlessly do it. We'll all be stepford wives soon.

joseph did that same thing, someone said the diapers may be too tight or something and u gotta make sure its pointed down when u put the diaper on so they dont pee out of it. I feel like im always doing laundry, i always wash the towels after they are used so its like everyday i end up doing laundry just with towels alone. Dishes never end either ugh, its like the same thing every single day over and over again.

people do iron, i dont, only because i havent bought an iron yet. I always manage to burn my self on the iron lol. So im not a fan of ironing. I have a dishwasher lol, but i dont use it. I dont see a point u might as well finish washing the dish after your done rinsing it to put in the dishwasher, thats just my theory i just handwash all my dishes.

My husband will do a load here and there. He'll even wash the dishes every once in a while too. I do wish he would do it a little more often though!!!! But I guess I shouldn't complain, he does help out a little.

This is so funny about ironing. I was engaged to an Englishman and he ironed everything. I would stand about while he'd iron his t-shirts and I'd wonder why he was doing that - because in America our washer and dryer are larger than European ones and therefore have less wrinkles.

So its the same thing as what we call a tumble dryer? Or condenser dryer? Just bigger. I'll get one some day! yes

Ayrshire lass I know! Ironing is the worst thing and they dont do it, im jealous too lol Im in south east England.

I have my man trained to do the pots and pans Wink Once those are done, half the battle is finished!!

I find myself getting mad because I spent all day doing laundry, then I have to take off my dirty clothes from that day and put it in the hamper, lol. I think I'll start doing my laundry naked, anyone with me?!?

I don't trust Earl on laundry either. We went to the laundry mat the other day (no water at the house) and I had him help me fold them. It was the funniest thing in the world. He only did the pants because he couldn't figure out the shirts, lol. If he can't do that, what makes you think he can WASH them?!? Oh yea, he wanted to put all the washers on HOT HOT, that would have been lovely...
