Before E came along laundry was manageable, now it seems like there is five times as much...that just can't be! I wonder if it's because I have less time to get things done so it seems like there's so much. I am doing over ten loads a week where I was doing four loads before.
Do you feel like there is constantly laundry?

We do a ton of laundry, but DH does it, too. Start a load in the AM, finish it in the afternoon, put a new load in, etc. It doesn't all get done right in a row for us. Yeah, sometimes things are wrinkly, but whatever. I wash large loads on cold, so i mix my colors/whites, too. On a weekly basis, we have DH's clothes, my clothes, kitchen towels, bath towels, E's clothes, and E's diapers (twice).

@blackbird: I mix too, but that's because I like to shove in as much as possible.

YES. And it's not even LO's laundry, it's my own... after I get him to bed I am just too tired to even think about laundry!

Yes! I feel like I'm always 2 loads behind. When they finally get washed and folded, then it takes another week for them to get put away. Then it starts all over.

I've gotten better about it, but I have to do a load a day to keep up with the flow. We're past the spit-up and diaper washing stage, but I change the sheets a lot these days because they sometimes get watered during nap time...
My only helpful advice is to have two laundry baskets, exclusive of hampers. I try to make sure at least one is empty at all times. This kind of keeps things moving, but doesn't force me to sort 500 toddler socks before I can empty the dryer.

Yes! Before LO I swear I only did 1-2 loads per week...now I do 4-5, it's insane. Surely she can't generate that much washing!!

We are great at doing the laundry. I start a load before I go to work in the morning and DH flips it over when he gets home from work (he works nights). BUT...we are TERRIBLE about actually putting our laundry away. It normally gets folded and put in baskets and never actually gets put in dressers or hung up. I am not really sure why we even own dressers at this point.
