Resentments of my wife's choices, and a realization

From time to time I feel resentful about things in my life that would be different and more agreeable to me if I weren't accommodating my wife's preferences. These are not big things in the big picture, but they come to mind periodically. One is that in this summer weather I would be hanging out laundry on a clothesline, outdoors. Another is that we would be living in a smaller house, probably a rental so that we would not have so much responsibility for maintenance. Another is that we would pay some nice person to come and do some house cleaning regularly.
So I just realized that all of this adds up to: I'd like it if things were more like in my family when I was a kid growing up!
So I think I have some growing up to do :D

Hey guys you are awesome! I talked with her about the clothesline and she agreed I can put one up and we'll see how it goes.
I realize that one is really nostalgic -- we had a clothesline outdoors specifically when I was a young kid, before we moved to a different city when I was 11 and did not have one. So it is a really significant compromise.
Thank you thank you @sarahcupcake @robbie2499 @ThesebootsRmade4walking @JimboSaturn !

@ThePatientAnarchist My old house had a clothesline, I loved it! On a summer day it is ten tmes faster than a dryer and it's free! Plus I just like the look of clothes on the line.
@ThePatientAnarchist Woot, woot! Sounds like a compromise. You're welcome🤠
@JimboSaturn agreed on all counts!
