[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really gross the way so many of you reduce women to the household labor they supply.[/quote]

It's not a woman thing. I'm the wife and when my DH was unemployed and slowly looking you'd better believe I expected him to step up to the plate with household responsibilities. I'm working 70 hrs a week to keep us afloat, we no longer have cleaners, it's irresponsible to order out too much, etc. Not that I did NOTHING, but if I came home after 2 hrs commute and he thought it was time for me to do laundry and dishes that would have been totally unacceptable.

I totally agree with this. How hard is it to turn on the washing machine, put it in the dryer and fold clothes. When DH was a SAHD, I fully expected him to do the laundry. Neither of us ever questioned it or saw it as an issue. I would have been shocked to come home and see my washing not done while he did his and the kids. [/quote]

OP here.  I guess the fact that it’s pretty easy is the reason I think it makes sense for him to have this chore.  
It’s not time specific, doesn’t have to be done daily, and is not that hard.  I don’t ask him to cook or mow the lawn or do dishes or run errands or drive the kids to their stuff.  He has most weekends off plus occasional days during the week, and I do my best to make sure the washer is empty and available on those days.

This seems like a totally reasonable thing for me to ask him to do.

At this point, it seems like you are just being passive aggressive  [/quote]
