I discovered tea towels in our pile of ironing this morning

On mentioning this fact via text to my girlfriend, I received the curt reply "Your point?"

Creaseless tea towels? For me, that's taking things too far, Clive.

She doesn't anymore.

However what it does illustrate perfectly is the difference in mindset of the male and female.

Roughly 80/20 at a guess, maybe even 90/10 but the sheer human touch of giving that 10% is worth it's weight in gold.

Note:

I do none of her ironing. She does none of mine.

Let's face it, the division of labour would still be massively weighted in my favour.

[Monty91]

it doesn't count.

The only way to fairly and accurately measure the division of labour is to count stuff that you both, equally, think needs to be done.

General household **** I f**k off on the basis of "that doesn't need ironing, it is only a tea towel / duvet" etc - as per your opening post.

You are right though, in terms of meaningless stuff that needs done my input rises. Thank you.

Actually, a lady does them for us as there's an ironing service at my OH's school but she's **** so I always end up doing the collars and cuffs

Sounds fair to me
