    If you cook, clean, and keep an eye on the house while I'm away at work .... I might think about it

    But no frilly French Maid outfits, or Man Boobs either. I'm not a prude, but that is where I draw the line

    Looks like I'll be out on the street then. The GF already expects me to do cooking and cleaning, but I'm not really that happy as a domestic servant.

    I do have a household tip though:

    Folding Fitted Sheets

    1. Wait until your spouse/partner/friend with benefits has left the house. This will allow you to concentrate on the task with undivided attention.

    2. Fold pillowcases first, then the top (flat) sheet and then finally the bottom (fitted) sheet. This allows you to fold the easier sheets first and build confidence.

    3. After folding and neatly stacking the pillowcases and top sheet, pick up the bottom sheet and find the seam in each corner. Place your hand inside the corner and match the corners to each other until you have all four corners gathered together.

    4. Wad the whole thing up into a ball and shove it into the back part of the closet where it won't be obvious. Stack the top sheet on top to keep your spouse from finding it. Go about your day.

    Um ... you have to *fold* fitted sheets before you put them away???

    I guess that's why mine are so wrinkly ...

    Yes, I have even seen it demonstrated a couple of times. But I cannot replicate the results. It ends up a wad of sheet no matter how I do it.

    There are people who can do this; otherwise when you bought a new set of sheets, they would come in a wad in the package. :madgrin:

    I figure if fitted sheets had to be neatly folded after coming out of the dryer, they would just fold themselves

    Can't argue with that. Don't think I would want to fold shitted feets either.
