Okay, typically when B and I have a disagreement, I always win...not because he is sweet and concedes but because, well, women are smarter and I am usually right (or I don't argue to begin with). So besides the money argument which we cured with "allowance checkbooks"...the one standing one that never ends is - he says "you don't do the laundry all the way!"
If you know me, you already know I have a routine for everything. For laundry it's Sort, Wash, Dry or Hang Dry, Fold, put mine AWAY and place his, kindly sorted by type/category, in a basket on his dresser.
Saturday when he came home and asked what I did that day, one of the answers was, I finished the laundry. After going up stairs to change, he yells,"You didn't do the laundry all the way..."
WHAT?
Here we go again...he proclaims that if I did it "all the way" his clothes would be put away for him!
WHAT? Are you high? Seriously! Is it way to stressful to open a drawer and place a stack of tshirts in, throw some socks in a drawer, lay your jeans on the shelf!
Geez...I will never win this one...maybe next week I will sew one leg of all his boxers shut to prove my point! My Mom showed my sister and I this trick when my Dad complained and after he fell over while stepping into his underwear, he never said another word about laundry!

When I first saw "all the way", I started thinking high school "all the way". LOL. NOT what you meant.
It's funny - at your house, you have separate but equal checkbooks. At my house, it's separate but equal laundry baskets. DIY laundry was instituted right after the honeymoon in which he washed and dried my brand new authentic hawaiian dress and it would have fit a Barbie. And he continues to rebel against the concept of sorting by colors, so once every now & then I take pity on him and run his white socks & undies through a bleach cycle.
Never a dull moment, is it? Let me know how the boxer thing turns out.
So let him do his own laundry and see if he likes doing all of it or just putting it away better. Oh and Dee, could you make sure that you don't pack a lunch for him that has soggy bread again? I really don't know what you do with your time...
