How often do YOU do laundry?
There's a classic question for men: Boxers or Briefs?
Well ladies - I have a new one. When you've met that special guy and you're trying to get to know him, don't ask him what kind of underwear he wears. Ask him how often he does laundry. That will tell you how much underwear is rattling around in his sock drawer.
Last weekend I learned something so disturbing about my new live-in boyfriend that even though it's been a couple of days, I'm still in TOTAL shock.
The man, who's in his very early 40s, only has enough underwear to last about 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS! Now, I have bought so many 3-packs at Target (ok, and the occasional Victoria's Secret splurge) that I could prolly make it two MONTHS without doing laundry. It's one of my things. I have a lot of undies because I HATE doing laundry!
The upside of learning about this, of course, is that I get to buy him the kind of underwear I want to see him wear (and take off, for that matter). But I was really shocked.
So tell me - how often do YOU do laundry?!? And is this normal - for a guy to only have enough underwear to get him thru two weeks??
Cheers, Lara

My husband probably has enough underwear for 3 weeks - and that is plenty, in my opinion.
Also, I am lucky enough to live with my Mother-In-Law. She does all the laundry, at least a load a day. This coming from a household with 1, 6.5 year old girl, a 33 years young female, and a 38 year old male.
whoa! i have a 1-week limit before i freak out and become enraged with the dirty laundry. 1 week -- MAX! then again, when you have to carry the freakin' thing down the stairs and to the laundromat...you don't want it to get to that "laundry or corpse?" kind of size.
that said, i am considering moving in with eileen. MIL who does laundry?! every day?!
I do laundry about every other day. I have two children, so things get dirty very quickly, and my 8 year old son needs is baseball uniform clean for his games twice a week. I would say that my husband has about 3 weeks worth of boxers. He also has the dresser with the smaller drawers, so no more than that will fit. I probably have enough for at least 2 months.
Hm...it's actually reversed in our case. My boyfriend must have like 4 weeks of underwear while I have at most a week and a half.
See, I do our laundry once a week because I just can't stand not having clean clothes. Him on the other hand has left his laundry to pile up for about 2 months at a time. He will buy new clothes before doing a wash.
