Do you have a ‘helpful’ husband?

My DH is just like yoursPollyDolly Bless him

You have taught your OH well PollyDolly. ?
.I have achieved nowhere near as much as you during our 44 years of marriage.

My husband has a helpful wife and I have a helpful husband. We do play to our strengths and work together well most of the time.
Not being smug, just telling it like it is.

My OH is quite good with the laundry actually. He always. turns his jeans inside out for washing and I educated him in doing the same with tee shirts, sweaters, leggings etc. He quite likes doing the ironing although he hasn't quite mastered the art of controlling a viscose dress with a mind of its own. He makes an excellent job of stripping and remaking the bed. However, he does not dust or polish but he will run the hoover over the carpets so I can't complain. Might start hiring him out......any takers?

PS I mean bedding and towels - I don’t have anything that is actual linen.

DH is meticulous about his own washing (mostly golf-wear),
and I deal with my clothing and the household linen.
He leaves me to it and I prefer it that way.

There are a number of chores that I really do not want his ‘help’ with. I don’t even like him mowing the lawn when I’m away as he usually manages to b….r up the machine or make a complete mess of the grass. We’ve each got our own strengths and weaknesses.

DH hangs sheets by folding them across the line, so that the middle of the sheet is the bit that gets pegged. I have the edges upmost. Far easier to take down and fold. However he does fold the ones he pegs out and folds them beautifully, so not much to complain about really.

I think I wrote this !

I just let my OH do the washing and I don't iron anything unless it's something "special" I think you should encourage him. Mine used to mix coloured with whites but I just bought another laundry basket and made sure they were kept separate. He sometimes hangs things out badly but I quietly rearrange anything as needed when he's not looking!
