[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a set two-week meal rotation, one grocery list for each week in an app. No need to think about meals or your grocery list.

Let your house be messy.

Don't fold laundry.[/quote]

This post made my palms sweat. What do you do with your laundry if you don't fold it?!?[/quote]

DP.  You leave it in a laundry basket and pull stuff out as you want to wear it.[/quote]

NP. I hang up all clothes that I wear. The rest just goes in their particular drawer not folded. Like the leggings drawer, the PJ drawer, the workout drawer, the underwear drawer, sock drawer. Laundry is super duper easy here. And hanging keeps everything looking nice.[/quote]

Np, WOW.  Impressed.  Have lived the 'leave it in a basket' method but have not tried this one.  Excited to try it![/quote]

Pp here. I kept fighting my kids but then one day was like - WHY?!? Leggings don’t wrinkle and neither do jeans. Hanging the shirts and dresses means we all look presentable. Pj drawer is like whatever. Dhs workout shirts are all spandex too so it’s not like they wrinkle.

Oh and the best hack with this is that my 4 year old puts all the laundry in everyone’s drawers. All I have to do is hang. [/quote]
I thought I was the only one who used this method!  I just throw pants, shorts, underwear, socks and pajamas in drawers devoted to each in whatever person’s dresser, and hang the shirts and sweaters. I do t even pair socks, the wearer can grab two from their drawer when they need them.

Also I keep all workout clothes in a basket next to my peloton so I can change right there in the basement. Those clothes never even go up to the bedroom.

DH thinks my system is atrocious but I don’t see him offering to take on the toddler and preschooler laundry. He does his own.

My other hack is to read bedtime books to kids while they are in the bath (good idea if you have a bedtime routine stretching too long).

I feed my kids primarily cut up raw fruit and veggies, then add protein like yogurt/cheese/eggs/nuts/beans.  I add a grain like leftover rice, crackers, bread. I almost never cook for them on weekdays.
