In today's Asking Eric column, R. Eric Thomas responds to an update from someone who was critiqued by their son-in-law for not folding laundry correctly.
I had a conversation with my daughter one morning when we were out hiking. She confessed that she, too, had been told she folded his laundry wrong. Together we decided I would no longer do his laundry but continue the rest I had been doing. It was good food for thought to read your response, as well as some of the comments. What I didn’t explain originally was that I don’t go in the parents’ bedroom, I run a load of whatever is in the washer when I arrive. My daughter expressed her appreciation for the things I do besides getting the twins ready for daycare.
I did take one long weekend and the parents were responsible for getting the kids up, dressed and to daycare without me for several days. It was mostly the twins who were so glad to see me upon my return. They like our laid-back mornings. After our conversation, my daughter got her husband his own laundry basket and he now does his own laundry. She also got a basket for the twins’ socks, and I no longer spend time matching socks. They love picking their own socks out in the morning and nobody cares if they match or not.I am absolutely thrilled to read this. And I’m certain that many readers will be, too – I received an overwhelming number of emails about your situation. We were all up in arms. Thanks for the update.
