My mom had us throw all our dirty laundry into the washer, when it was full she'd wash it. So simple! 2). with my 11 children, I made sure they knew how to do their own laundry. No one does it for them and I am so grateful for that! 3). We never fold and put away the laundry, it just sits on top of the dryer in a basket and we grab what we need when we need it...except my husband, which brings me to 4). My husband washes, dries, folds and puts away his laundry and mine....he is definitely a keeper!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694453568754514621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-85287573235418531682014-01-14T15:33:24.200-05:002014-01-14T15:33:24.200-05:00My mom was the same way and I quickly learned how ...My mom was the same way and I quickly learned how fast laundry piles up after I had a baby. It was always never ending and it still is. However, I knew that I had to teach my own kids how to do this chore so that when they move out they know how to do it. Works like a charm and they are able to help keep the mountains at bay. ;)<br /><br />Teach your daughter how to do the laundry and I bet she won't change clothes 50 times a day because that is alot of laundry to fold and put away. heheheChristy Garrett @ Uplifting Familieshttp://upliftingfamilies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-41297293060346971102014-01-14T13:52:25.666-05:002014-01-14T13:52:25.666-05:00Laundry is a never-ending battle here, too!

As my mother did, I've been teaching all of my children to help with the laundry... certainly helps make this chore a lot easier, but I also feel I'm infusing a little responsibility and life skills. In any case, it helps keep things sane around here!

When my 3 kids were young I used to find folding clothes rather relaxing and therapeutic (perhaps because I did it after they'd all gone to bed). Now I find it tedious and overly repetitive! Do you ever find perfectly clean, folded clothes in the hamper (too lazy to put it away so it just got tossed back in the pile)? I do!!

They already help by sorting their clothes when it is laundry day (which means somebody ran out of school uniforms or my hubby ran out of clean underwear).

Helps with wrinkles and keeps me warm in the winter. You can write the next blog about getting the clothes put away. I wash, dry. fold all laundry and bring it upstairs the piano bench where is person is supposed to put their clothes away. Sophia's pile grew so large it took over the piano bench, keyboard, surrounding floor, etc. And somehow she STILL managed to produce laundry!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-76689094305358189492014-01-12T20:12:32.000-05:002014-01-12T20:12:32.000-05:00Thanks Cindy!
