Similar boat here. When we picked chores long ago, wife picked laundry.
… Later on she complained about carrying baskets up and down the stairs, so I did that for her.
… Still later she complained about how she could never get them all done, so I started running them through the machines for her: I know how to use a timer.
… then she complained about how long it took to fold, so the minions fold their own and I fold sheets and towels as well as my own
… then when we got divorced, she was still complaining about how much of a hassle laundry was
Now the minions are teens and I made sure they knew how to run the machines, but it more efficient for me to run everything through, and we split the folding
