[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is making me feel guilty because I’m really bad about folding the laundry. We probably do all look wrinkly a little bit.

[b]I do think 80 percent of the job sometimes does what *really* needs to be done.[/b] Last night I was the one to remember one of our kids was out of clean swim stuff for camp so I washed and dried it even tit kept me up later than I wanted. It’s all still in the dryer but my kid had his stuff for camp. I would be pissed if my husband complained about that.[/quote]

My son has multiple baseball games a week, which means I’m washing his uniform multiple times a week.  If he can’t find what he needs in his room, he knows the next place to check is the dryer!  But his uniform is clean and available when he needs it, which is the actual *important* part of “doing laundry” in my opinion.

Same with doing dishes (washed all the pots and pans and ran the dishwasher but didn’t feel like cleaning the waffle maker because it’s annoying and we won’t use it again for awhile so it can sit for a day or two); cleaning bathrooms (cleaned the mirror, sink, counter, and toilet but didn’t have time to scrub the shower so it’ll just have to wait until next time); vacuuming/mopping (got the high traffic areas but didn’t move furniture or do the baseboards); and so on and so on.

Sometimes good enough is good enough.  [/quote]

This is how I live my life!  Thanks for making me feel better about it.  :-)[/quote]
