Something they don’t tell you about Prince Charming is the amount of laundry he creates. That’s something that The Blunt Blonde blogger, Jonna Miller, found out the hard way. Just like any girl, she dreamed of the fairytale marriage and happily ever after but had a rude awakening when her parents got divorced.
After wondering if she’d ever find “the one,” it happened…she met David.
Right after the first date, she texted her best friend that she was going to marry David.

She quickly learned that marriage, as great as it is, also has its struggles. In her piece titled “If Your Working Husband Makes You Feel Lonely Do His Laundry,” she says:
“I don’t ever recall the Prince in the fairytale having rough, cracked hands and crows feet before he turns 30. I don’t recall the Prince missing dinners because he was working over time or going to bed shortly after he came home to his Palace because he was so exhausted.”
Jonna opens up about the double-edged sword of being married to a hard working man. Her loneliness leads her to put unrealistic expectations on her husband:
“I know I’m putting him in a lose-lose situation,” she says. “He literally can’t win. If he doesn’t work late, we won’t get the new furniture set that I HAVE to have. If he does work late, he comes home to a nagging wife who is desperate for his attention.”
Then it hit her…while doing laundry of all things!
