Speaking of patches, when do they normally come out? Is it on a specific day of the week? Do you think the Jan patch will come this week? I don’t remember waiting longer than a week or so for a patch to come out.
No I don't think we'll see the patch this week because their waiting till 1 week before Laundry Stuff to release it and there has been no trailer or anything.
How can you be sure Laundry stuff is coming out this month? It could be February.
I was right. It's been announced and coming Next Tuesday the 16th. TheSims just announced on Twitter.

The toddlers playing with the wash basin is a nice touch. :) Now if only pets could interact with the laundry stuff too, like dogs playing with the basin, but I doubt it.
Or your dog pulling down your laundry from the line.
Yeah! They're quite the troublemaker. :D

The gender patch came out in June 2016, not January, so this is not exactly an annual event.
I like free stuff as much as the next person, and if you look back, they've patched in practically an EP's worth of free content over the years. But in my experience playing online games or games with an online update system, a patch is meant to fix bugs and tune the game. I don't get where the expectation comes from that major new content is going to be added for free with every, or in fact any, patch. People seem to build that expectation up and then many express disappointment when it doesn't happen.
We are not owed free content.
Well, we only got an EP's worth of content because the base game was lacking in the first place. I'd say most of the stuff included should've been there from the start. Kudos to them for at least trying to get the base game to an acceptable state instead of abandoning it, but I'd say that should've been expected of them. So it's not like the updates are a bonus, except maybe for the gender patch. :p
The gender patch was pretty huge -- and garnered EA/Maxis a ton of good press and some awards for equality. Might have even attracted a few more players; I've noticed some of my favorite Twitch streamers have added Sims 4 to their gaming schedules. As for the toddler patch, considering there were people who expected EA to make us pay for them in a pack, getting them for free was a Pretty Big Deal.
