[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I get it. I have a DH who likes to claim he "did 4 loads of laundry today" when he's working from home but what he actually did was move 4 loads of laundry through the machines and then pile them all on a chair in the living room where they will stay for days unless I give up and fold them first. I've told him that I don't really consider myself to have done a load of laundry until it's put away and [b]he was like "oh you're too hard on yourself -- I think just getting it cleaned is an accomplishment."[/b]

:D  I had to laugh.  We all know the folding and putting away is the most time consuming part!  That said, everyone in my house had different #laundrygoals and for some having it all in their own pile of clean clothes is good enough and we try to steer toward it being in a laundry basket versus on a chair or some space needed for other people.  If the goal is to model good laundry hygiene for the kids, there should definitely be a chore for them around folding and putting their own clothes away if old enough and DH should model what you want the kids to do which is to fold and out away after washing.  If there are bigger fish to fry, get everyone their own collapsible laundry basket and whoever does laundry has to sort the clean clothes and each person goes from there.[/quote]
