FYI, I really wanted to put a different four letter word in place of "fold" in this title. Just sayin....
I have a love/hate relationship with laundry. Wait, let me rephrase that statement. I have a HATE relationship with laundry. It's the folding and putting away part. I am sure I am not the only person that feels this way. I mean, It's freaking 2013...I need a robot that folds it.
I am thinking about putting myself on a laundry schedule. Does anybody have any tips?
For an example:
Monday: Dark Clothes. Wash/dry/fold
Tuesday: Put away Dark Clothes
Wednesday: Light Clothes. Wash/dry/fold
Thursday: Put away light clothes
Friday: Towels/sheets. Yes, I would wash and dry them seperately.
Or, I could always hire a laundry service!!!! My husband actually offered the idea when we had our second son.
I believe the reason I get so behind on folding them is because I am obsessed with other things in the house being clean. My floors, kitchen, and living area. I see it as, those are the places we are in the most, so they need to be super clean. As long as I have clean clothes and they aren't wrinkled, I am happy. But then, it turns into 6 loads of laundry that needs to be folded!
My husband will fold them every now and then. But guess what??? I am a control freak and I don't like how he folds or puts them away. Yes, I am apparently bat shit crazy.
OR, I will fold it and my two boys will go knock them down. Brats. I really..REALLY do not want to fold laundry during nap time or their bed time. I would rather relax with a glass of wine (no, not during nap time...hmm..but sounds lovely), or do the other million things I need to do around the house.
I'm having the same dilema right now! I have two loads of clean clothes laying on my couch to fold however, work, two kids and dinner are more important. At least they are clean. I was following this other blog that had a few great ideas check it out.
