I'm Secretly Competitive About Laundry

Anonymous Smug Minx #509 · General

My friend's kids think I'm the coolest stay-at-home parent ever because of how good I am at organizing and cleaning our house. But there's this one thing that drives me insane, and it's laundry. Yeah, yeah, everyone thinks laundry is a chore, but for me? It's a full-blown competition. My mom taught me these super-organized ways to sort and clean clothes, different piles for colors, whites, delicates, all that jazz. And I take pride in folding them neatly too. But here's the embarrassing part: when my husband comes home from work and folds his shirts haphazardly or leaves a load unattended for days, it feels like he's messing with me on purpose. I shouldn't care so much about something as trivial as laundry, but I do. Every time he drops socks randomly around the house instead of putting them away immediately after washing? It’s like nails on a chalkboard to my ears. So, yeah, here's to hoping nobody figures out just how competitive I am over laundry, and wondering if anyone else is this weird about it too.
