In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to a husband who is annoyed by his wife's lack of contribution to laundry.
I politely ask her to do it, and she tells me that she will. However, two days later, dirty clothes are still piling up.She works part-time outside the home, and I work full time from home.
I used to think it was just a personality quirk. But after two decades, I feel she is taking advantage of me. But because you value having an empty laundry basket, I suggest that you should stop politely asking your wife to do it, and just do it yourself.In my household, we each take responsibility for our own laundry. If someone else has dirty clothes to make up a full load, you toss whatever is in the basket into the machine and transfer it to the dryer when you’re passing by.
