[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you want to hire someone, send your laundry out. They charge by weight (dry, not wet). We are a family of two adults, three kids. I do a load of laundry every evening after work. When I get home I change out of work clothes, and take a laundry bag down to the washing machine. Start it, then go up to the kitchen and start dinner. Some time either before dinner starts or during dinner, I send a kid down to move everything from washer to dryer and start that. After cleaning up from dinner somebody takes everything out of the dryer. Anything still damp or needing to be ironed gets hung, everything else comes upstairs. We fold while watching tv. I sort into piles based on what belongs to whom. As kids go up to bed they take their piles of clean clothes, and if it's not too much have them take my stuff and DH's to our bedroom. The 3 yr old is excused from having to carry her stuff up, because invariably she drops it on the way and it becomes unfolded. We do a load of sheets/towels twice a week. Other nights are whites, darks, regular, and gentle. On weekends if we're around I might do two loads.[/quote] Don't your kids have homework or sports in the evenings? I cant imagine sitting around all night watching TV doing laundry. We rarely have time to watch TV and when my kids have completed their homework they normally head outside to play with the neighborhood kids. I cant just throw my kids outside. Someone has to watch them. [/quote]
