If you love mildew scented clothes![/quote]Then, start a load when you get home. Put it in the dryer at dinner time. Fold it and put it away after dinner.  You can still manage to do ONE load a day.  Use your critical thinking skills.  This isn’t rocket science.[/quote]

We get home and are making dinner, cleaning kitchen, helping kids with homework. And sometimes finishing work. [/quote]

Get home, go to the bathroom. Put a load in the wash.  Get kids settled with whatever they do before dinner. Start dinner. After dinner, when one of you is cleaning up the dishes, the other swaps clothes from washer to dryer.  Then, fold later in the evening when it is done.

Yup, huge help to not be doing laundry all weekend. One grownup makes dinner, the other takes the kids to do laundry. Also helps get any recently stained clothes straight to the wash.

Laundry moves over after dinner, and washing machine is done running before bath time (old house w limited hot water).

Really tho, we have much more breathing space as the older is in K now. Both kids usually sleep through the night, there are no more diapers, everyone eats the same thing for dinner etc.

But it only takes one round of gastro or flu to feel like we are gonna be behind forever. Both kids are bad sleepers for a week or so after being sick.[/quote]
