Ironing is kinda relaxing though innit? and you can have wine just sitting on the end of the ironing board, it's all very reasonable. probably one of the few housewifey tasks I do very well when the pile is big enough. Speaking of which, I'd like to iron someone's face right now

I've grown to like doing laundry. I find it kind of relaxing.

It's only relaxing to me when I have time to do it properly. The folding, sorting, lint rolling or sweater shaving if needed, ironing, mending, hanging etc. When I have time to do the whole thing from start to finish is very relaxing and it's great when you have completed a process from start to finish in your mind. Like party girl said, a bottle of wine is a good accompaniment, as is good music or something good on TV.


I need to be f*ing kicked in the head. Seriously.

If I can watch TV whilst doing laundry, then it's alright.

i dislike laundry with every fiber of my being.

hate searching for quarters and lugging it 5 floors to the basement.
hate running down every 25 mins to check on it only to find that someone has taken it out of the washers and plopped it on top to get all wrinkled.
hate the fact that i sweat to death as i attempt to fold the clothes and the stupid dryer lint that somehow manages to creep it's way onto my shirts.
hate to iron too. hate that my cats love to find refuge in a big basket of fresh clean clothes so they can feel the warmth. most of all i think i hate the sock monster who inevitably devours at least one sock per load.

hahahaa... so yeah..... i can understand where you're coming from.

laundry is the devil.

At least you don't have to go to a laundromat.

Not that I do either...but...yeah. That would suck.

I do at least 2 loads a day...it's the putting it away that I hate, I make things nice and neat and then everyone else crams their stuff into drawers etc. And iron, I don't do unless necessary.

My husband complains, I have no socks that match,
My son complains I have to wash his baseball uniform,
the other son complains that he has no clean clothes when there are 100's in his room!

Laundry is a big waste of time in ones life!

I was going to invite myself over the other night. Didn't you say that hubby was going to see the Raconteurs? Next time give me advance warning and I'll do whatever you want me to do.

I hate laundry too. Well not so much hate it as it bores me to tears. I find just about every other form out housework therapeutic though. More soothing than a day at the spa :weird:

I don't mind doing laundry so much but I don't like putting it away. For some reason my laundry ends up in select piles in 2 places in my room and from those piles I choose what to wear and so goes the cycle.

Mywasher/dryer is in a closet on the side of my house where there is no lighting unless I bring a flashlight and I don't like going out there at night so all my laundry has to be done during the day. We have critters visit us at night so one never knows what visitor might greet you in the dark side yard or backyard when it's dark-skunk, possum, raccoon, etc.

I do own an iron. I use it quite a lot since I sew a lot. I don't mind ironing, I sit while I iron and usually have music or the TV on so it's not bad at all.

I actually really like doing laundry - it's about the only household chore I really enjoy. Go figure.

The thing I couldn't stand is when I lived in an apartment building for 2 years and the laundry room was on the 2nd floor and I was on the top floor. We had cards you put money on so I didn't have to save quarters but it was so annoying to go up and down the stairs.

I will readily admit that while in NY I decided to live like a New Yorker of some modest means and used a wash&fold service. It was a bit weird surrendering one's panties.
