[quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP here whose mom was a hoarder and fights hoarding tendencies.  Piles of clean laundry are a HUGE trigger for me.  It’s unacceptable for my sanity so I simply set a hard and fast rule: clean laundry does not leave the basement (does not leave the dryer) until it is folded.  Ever.  Period.  I gold down in the basement as I take each piece out.  It is the one tangible, huge way that I am not my mother.  I will NOT ever have unfolded laundry in the couch, the dining room table, or piled on beds or dressers.

It is NOT normal to have piles of laundry all over.  Your house doesn’t have to be House Beautiful.  But you are hurting your kids.  You are attenuating them to chaos.  You are depriving them of peace.

Your DH is part of the problem no question.  If he doesn’t want baskets of laundry in the bedroom, then he should get his ass to the laundry room and start folding.

Personally, folding is now my refuge.  I put on my earbuds and an audiobook and it’s my time.

You gotta lay off ALL of the projects, OP.  Stop crafting.  Stop renovating.  If your couch isn’t even available for sitting, that’s gotta be your top priority.[/quote]
