I just came in from starting yet another load, and the cleans are piled like six feet high atop the dryer, because that's my personal weak spot is actually bringing it all in and putting it away. Good thing Auntie has provided all the kids with more clothes than they can ever wear, or they might notice how behind I get.<BR/><BR/>Nobody has mentioned all those chocolate Easter eggs coming up!!!! Heck, I feel like I've been on a bender since Halloween only to find out that the Girl Scout cookies have arrived.Undercover Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665520353750292526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26532377.post-32727152462230433472007-02-21T21:10:00.000-06:002007-02-21T21:10:00.000-06:00I think I would've chosen the laundry too.

Laundry is a job...You got the better deal for sure. Laundry is a job which requires about 20 seconds per load to start, about 10 seconds to switch from washer to dryer, and another three minutes tops to fold afterward. You don't have to stand there and watch the clothes wash or dry. In fact, you could nap in between! haha<BR/>Dishes ... hm. Unless there's a dishwasher (which, I'm figuring there is) ... you can't start the job and walk away. <BR/><BR/>Good for you to split chores! <BR/>Good for Dave to get in on that! <BR/><BR/>Ed does most of our laundry because he got used to it while in the service. (thank goodness for long stints in the service)<BR/><BR/>Thing is though - he also does just about all our other housework except cooking and dishes. <BR/><BR/>Great post and I love the word at the end!Weary Haghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809105824011470783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26532377.post-57519424472948502502007-02-20T15:54:00.000-06:002007-02-20T15:54:00.000-06:00just wondering do both of you work?If so you got t...just wondering do both of you work?<BR/><BR/>If so you got the better deal. if only you work, he got the better deal.Bluepaintredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049030161558766505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26532377.post-52014567477891812152007-02-20T11:33:00.000-06:002007-02-20T11:33:00.000-06:00I know I posted a comment last night.

I get to nap when Ella does and if she is being especially rotten, I just drug her up with some tylenol.....<BR/><BR/>(I'm just kidding about the tylenol thing)<BR/><BR/>It's pretty sad that I feel the need to add that line, (I'm just kidding), to posts about me drugging my daughter.

Another valuable tip. Prior to that, I would've agreed that doing the laundry once per week is better than having daily dish duty, but now I'm not so sure. <BR/><BR/>My DH and I used to have a similar arrangement regarding the cats: he'd deal with the litterbox, I'd deal with the puke. We both were very agreeable to the terms. However we recently had to add a second litterbox that I'm "in charge" of (I was the one who made the decision to get another box), so there went our arrangement. To balance that, though, the cats puke considerably less after we changed to canned food. So it still works out pretty well.<BR/><BR/>We both do the laundry and the dishes, except he won't touch my cold water wash and I don't bother doing the one tiny load of his white socks that ends up back in the bottom of the hamper week after week until he does it himself.<BR/><BR/>Now that you mention it, all the women I work with were excitedly discussing the recent "news" about chocolate today. So now it's ok!Good grief. <BR/><BR/>Blog is lookin' good! Don't be too afraid to make changes; I believe the new blogger has a way you can roll back to a previously saved version if you decide it's crap.mrstracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04385821868035851703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26532377.post-81006154241109819482007-02-19T16:36:00.000-06:002007-02-19T16:36:00.000-06:00I do both the dishes and the laundry in our house ...I do both the dishes and the laundry in our house but I am the one with the issues so it makes sense that they would be my deal....https://www.blogger.com/profile/14989843755827170550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26532377.post-2498740766243545052007-02-19T14:44:00.000-06:002007-02-19T14:44:00.000-06:00It's actually kind of 50/50.
