I save my laundry for the weekends so I can get it out on the line and back before the day is over.

Should I have more children just to see if I can work this system?!? . . .

But with the laundry, remember it's the sorting that makes it so cumbersome. Eliminate that and you've solved half the battle!<br />@Amanda: the pole helps a lot. Why fold when you can hang?<br />@Sarah: Sounds like you've got things well under control. Good for you! I can still remember even with only 1/2 the kids, before I had "the system", feeling so overwhelmed.<br />@NeighGirl: Do you mean you actually enjoy that part of it? Oh my.

They each have a day and do their load on their day. We don't separate the whites out. They just do all their things together. One child has two days, and she does her laundry and her younger siblings laundry who isn't quite old enough to be responsible for her own. It's one of her chores to do the extra laundry and she has fewer household chores because of it. I do mine, Dan's, and the little guy's laundry, or randomly assign help for it when I want to. One daughter recently did ours for a few months to earn money for summer camp. <br /><br />All that to say I too do not feel overwhelmed by laundry despite having five kids. It is wonderful, as I do remember feeling that way in the past and I just hated it.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250141268146858931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-91819503950029938992012-07-10T06:31:37.279-07:002012-07-10T06:31:37.279-07:00This is helpful!
