Okay this is a silly, shallow little one, but my wife (37) encouraged me (f/34) to ask the aitah crew.
Basically: AITAH for trying to get my wife to cool it on burning through so much laundry!
My wife goes through a LOT of laundry. She dresses very casual, we work from home and can wear anything and we don't have anything requiring special uniforms or outfits. I wear an outfit a day and maybe some PJs if I don't just sleep in underwear.
She changes 1-3 times minimum per day. She wakes up, puts on an outfit, starts her day. If she has errands she'll change again. Then in the evening she may change before a dog walk or something. It can honestly even be another shirt or two on some days.
We do laundry 2x per week at least and this last load, I folded fifteen of her tshirts from about 4 days.
She thinks she's the norm, and I think that's crazy.
I mostly do laundry because she does a lot of other things around the house and it takes her like 2 days to finish one load (remembering to swap it over, folding it and finally putting it away). I actually like laundry as a chore, but once a week maybe. Doing laundry every 3-4 days and folding a couple of my outfits while I fold her entire wardrobe just flabbergasts me. And hydro isn't cheap where we live.
Okay, want your thoughts - AITAH? How many clothes are y'all realistically going through in your regular adult life?
Final note: I love my wife, and I think monitoring someone's clothing usage is of course ridiculous, but when it's so blatantly over the top I can't help but notice and complain.
(My wife thinks I wrote this to appeal to more women who will side with me and insists I add that in hahah)
Please wait...
