It takes about 5 minutes to fold laundry - I do it daily for 5 of us. It's one load! EASY

10 minutes in the evening!!!

Yes, it takes about 5 minutes to unload my dishwasher in the AM. 5 minutes!!!

Total time is 7 minutes in the AM!!!

I think u have 17 minutes a day to make y our life easier. It's not a big deal. Just do it EVERY day so stuff doesn't pile up!

I don't find it difficult to keep up with the house at all. I think people who let things pile up have the stress. I'm admittedly a KonMari fanatic and don't have a bunch of unecessary crap and put things back where they belong.  My children have chores.  I don't even unload or load my dishwasher.  That's what kids are for! What in the hell are these older kids you all have doing to be a good housemate??

Every morning I pull clothes out of the dryer (I one load a day) and sorted them in 3 baskets. One for each of my kids and one for DH and i. Kids know that when they get home from school they are to put their clothes away. And yes, to fold them the KonMari way!

And they are home right after school because we have an AuPair. Makes life so much more manageable.  [/quote]
