mykdsmomy Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 My solutions are: *Disposable clothes? *Birthday suits? *Newspapers carefully crafted into sheets and blankets? (environmentally friendly alternative) And the last option is to actually bite the bullet and do the mountain of laundry that I said we would never again have after the last time this happened.....ughhhhhhh Does it multiply while we're sleeping???!!! :001_huh::cursing::banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksr5377 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm in the process of minimizing our wardrobes to help with this problem. I would really like to HAVE to do laundry at least every other day. I just went through my daughters' dresser. They wear the same size and between the two of them they have over 30 long sleeve shirts and 20 pants. Obviously we have a problem :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassoonaroo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yes, it multiplies while you are sleeping. Well, at least mine does. I always tell my family that for a week or so, we're going to go naked and, at the same time, fast. That would make my job easier. They never cooperate. And I just would feel awkward doing those things on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Every. Single. Week. I say "This laundry pile will never happen again!". And guess what? It happens again. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our oldest daughter loves doing laundry and she does 90% of it for me. All I have to do is go pick it up in the basement and put it away. I love her. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoLuRu Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Disposable clothes exist, but my guess is that they're cost prohibitive for everyday use. Instead, limit the volume each person has. I cut the kids down to 7 outfits each (plus 1 special outfit and 2 pairs of pajamas) for the summer. Laundry has never been easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-2-7 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I am quite certain that the laundry is in cahoots with the dust bunnys to see who can take over the house first!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It multiplies in the dark. Sort of like mushrooms. DD18 went camping this week and I just got the wet/muddy/smoky things under control today. But DS16 will be home from his camp job later this afternoon with a week's worth of wet/muddy/smoky clothes. ARRRGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 No kidding. I've been fighting the laundry monster for a few weeks now. Our primary problem seems to be that I have enough time/energy to wash and dry the load but not put it away. I've been able to get just enough put away to have a basket to dump the next load into. I just emptied and refilled a basket. I have three to put away, a load in the dryer, a load in the wash, and no clean whites. I'm also in the process of clearing out clothes we have no business owning...like things too small/stained to wear outside the house (but they try to anyway).

celticmom Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 And what about when most of the laundry is done and put up and you tell your child to get dressed and they claim they have nothing to wear.:toetap05::glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hate cooking more than I hate laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Exactly my problem!!! (Well, in addition to all my other problems!! :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It multiplies like bunnies! There's always so much! I do laundry all the time. I could never cut down on our clothes though. That would mean I'd have to do it even more frequently. Ack. Actually, doing the laundry isn't an issue. It's that whole folding and putting away bit that I have issues with. I can wash and dry laundry, but folding? putting away? We're just going to wear it again, right? I can live out of a laundry basket. Okay, that's not totally true, but some days I think that might be the way to go. Just keep everyone's clothes in the laundry room in baskets and we each go get what we need. Sigh.

fraidycat Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Ah. Mt. Foldmore. I have summited this particular mountain more times than I care to count...and I continue to do so weekly. This is the song that never ends... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they play a part in the conspiracy as well!! ;) Thanks to everyone who posted for commiserating with me! A huge part of the problem for us is the endless baby clothes, burp rags, and ds's bed wetting challenges :( I have a mountain of bedding right now from both ds and the babies....I'm tempted to cover everything in my house in vinyl !!!!

A.Balaban Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 My problem is compounded by the problem that we don't have a washer/dryer. Laundry bags pile up until I can get to the laundromat. I call it the laundry monster. My daughter also loves to pull all of her brother's clothing out of his dresser and dump it on floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
