It turns out that a husband who does the laundry, it's very romantic when you're older. And it's hard to believe when you're younger. But it's absolutely true.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In my generation, if a man washes the dishes, the older women still tend to cluster around and coo and thank him and praise him. But if a woman washes the dishes, it's business as usual, even if both man and woman have tough office jobs.
It's sweet that I don't have to do my laundry.
I love doing laundry! It's so satisfying. I love the way it smells. I love doing the sheets.
My husband does so many romantic things for me, it's absurd.
I think the older you get, the more lax you get, and the less romantic you are.
I have always had a relationship with clothes.
While we women dilly-dally, making decisions, leaving jobs half done, forgetting where we've put the house keys while we water the Hoover and leave the laundry in the dishwasher, men, like blinkered horses, look straight ahead, oblivious to peripheral vision, where a discarded pile of wet towels might have caught their eye.
Long live your laundry!
I really like doing the laundry, because I succeed at it. But I loathe putting it away. It is already clean.
An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'
