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. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574625 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:16:57 +0000 illumina 1574625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574618 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:15:49 +0000 honeybear 1574618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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... </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574592 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:05:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1574592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574588 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:03:49 +0000 MrsTiz 1574588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574584 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:01:38 +0000 Smurfette 1574584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not overwhelmed cause I do a load every couple days but it just never ends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574482 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:32:43 +0000 Bao 1574482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I mix too, but that's because I like to shove in as much as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574460 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:27:08 +0000 blackbird 1574460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574432 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:17:45 +0000 Dandelion 1574432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I constantly have something going in the laundry anymore. It's crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574431 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:17:14 +0000 winniebee 1574431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh yes. I do a load a day at least. I have 5 loads waiting to be folded right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574416 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:12:14 +0000 snowjewelz 1574416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet since we don't have a LO in the house yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574412 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:11:22 +0000 stargal 1574412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!!!! and I can never keep up. just finished putting away 5 loads and I know there will just be another load to wash tomarrow!!! I am so so sick of laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overwhelmed-with-laundry#post-1574401 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:08:21 +0000 Bao 1574401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>Do you feel like there is constantly laundry? </p>
