I have a confession. Of all things household, laundry seems to be my nemesis. It's never done!!!! And I really dislike folding laundry. Thus why I hang most things.... When I married my sweetheart I come to find out that he does not in fact, prefer things hung, but rather folded, and folded differently than I do.
I have since taken the time to adopt his manner of folding (I mean, if I'm going to have to fold things I might as well fold them so SOMEONE can be glad about it right?)
This is why when I see my husbands stack of folded laundry back on the floor..... amid other soiled siblings, I kind of get cranky. Laundry that I folded and placed on the dresser in clear view thinking that he would be inclined to put it away if it was so blatantly in his face.
But no.
It's down on the ground again.
And so I come to wonder how it is that he can make me feel so guilty for not cleaning up my crafts, and guilt me into doing something about it, where as when he does something that I dislike, I just get angry, say something about it, and then later apologize. He accepts the apology & we move on, with things pretty much the same as it was before I got cranky. Leaving me to believe that he either just dismisses what I said as an outburst of anger & him thinking that I did not really mean anything that I said during that show of emotion.... or he just wasn't planning on taking me seriously in the first place.
Doesn't apologizing show weakness anyway?
Somebody please help me understand.
Because meanwhile the laundry pile is getting taller & taller.
