    Somewhere in the social media there is a storm starting. Teens (with mainly indian background) have started the protest as suddenly their moms forces them to do their laundry. Soon the internet will crash due to the heave traffic caused by this protest movement.

    Next target: husbands doing laundry. ideasmiley

    I have to tell you all a funny story. I am on a trip to India three years ago and meeting with friend (of many decades)/colleague for some business meetings in several cities in India. After flying to Hyderabad (2 days) , Bangalore (2 days), Pune we get back to Delhi to a continuing hectic schedule. So one morning he comes out of his room with the announcement that he has no clean underwear. Now I am wondering how this has anything to do with me. So I ask well what do you normally do? He replies if I am on the trip myself I just buy new underwear but if X (his wife) is with me she washes them. I said well we have no time to just go shopping for new underwear, why don't you just wash them? He looks a bit shocked and says Well, I have never done that (he is a grandfather). But being a decent guy, he says well what do I do? I said you just pour the water into that pail in the bathroom and dump in some of this washing powder and let them soak for half a day and then rinse them and hang them up. I give him a spare line I had with me. Later that evening we meet he announces with great pride that the whole process was really easy and completed.

    Ladies: you do your men no favor either by treating them so well (like X the wife ) that they think they are helpless. (Ok, there is some strategy for doing that but should it continue?)

    YellowMango, All these 3 year old and 4 old will be excited to help. Then they turn diva's and shows the faces. Remember, your same 16 year old wanted help you on anything and everything and always holding your pallu and walking around. :):)

    Isn't that often also how the behavior of the 'oldest' child, a.k.a. husband evolves over time...

    True...they wanted to make roti and khana.....but mine have never shown interest in Landry.They would sit in front of the washing machine and watch their clothes show and they would get excited.May be they will just live dirty.
