Dear Mary,

It’s been a rough few weeks.

Our washing machine has been on the fritz for a while and decided to stop working during this whole COVID chaos.

I loaded up the car, did all the laundry and brought it back home and asked my spouse if he could help me put it all away.

It’s day two and the laundry has not been put away, however it is all messy from him rummaging through it to find a specific shirt he wanted to wear.

I asked again if he could put the laundry away and he snapped back at me “Yes, I will get to it, stop nagging me”.

Really? I held my tongue without being defensive and walked away…..was I in the wrong for just walking away or should I have engaged in a calm manner?

Yours Truly,

Laundry Lady
