Pumping iron

AC, in an otherwise insightful post on marriage domesticating men, deduces I mean:

his wife keeps decent house and his shirts ironed, but I have to think that somewhere in his remark is an admission that his wife makes him a better man.

For the record, I do the ironing in this family. It’s not because of some hippie, tree-hugging sexual equality thing either. It’s because the Mrs. really sucks at ironing. But, yeah, she makes me a better man.

    I do my own laundry.

    I actually do. It is not because of some metrosexual thing or the wife makes me. I do it because she folds my shirts like an epileptic monkey on speed.

    I don’t mind running a load of clothes or doing the dishes myownself, with my lady doing something else

    I don’t think anyone will accuse “us” of not having our proper understandings of roles in the home, though.

    I immediately thought of lifting weights (my other big thing besides shootin’ irons) when I saw “pumping iron”, but learned waht that really meant a long time ago when I asked my uncle, who had spent some time as a bachelor, “how much do you think you can press?” Without hesitation and matter-of-factly, he said, “two shirts and a pair of pants”.

    I do my own laundry. Melissa offered to do it early on, but she lets it sit in the drier and get wrinkled, so I decided it was easier to do it myself.

    The only time my shirts get ironed is when my wife gets tired of me wearing wrinkled shirts. Which isn’t as often as you might think.

    Les:

    That’s like my marriage, in reverse. My wife can’t stand the way I do laundry, so she just does it all now.

    For example, she separates laundry by color and cycle. I have “whites” and “other stuff.”
    I believe we bought a large washer so we could fill it. She disagrees.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
