I have my dining room chairs up in my room, lined up on the wall (dining room became playroom number 3). Most of the time laundry (clean) is piled up there! I finally got through it all the other night, but it probably won't last long. Can't we just blame everything on triplets?Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056899924799603636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-72132619047755267322007-06-25T13:39:00.000-04:002007-06-25T13:39:00.000-04:00You don't know me,I found your site on the steece'...You don't know me,I found your site on the steece's blog.Your children are adorable!I have a 6yr. old,3 yr. old,and twins that are 22 months and I am having this same problem.This is also my husbands chore and currently there are 5 baskets of clothes in my room and about 6 loads in our (very small) laundry room!!!Have you figured out how to fix this problem yet?If so,I would love to hear it!!:)ASHENFELTERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159114236809933010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-3596568870711596312007-06-24T10:27:00.000-04:002007-06-24T10:27:00.000-04:00Getting the laundry done isn't my issue...it is th...Getting the laundry done isn't my issue...it is the folding and putting away that gets me.

But even with one little one in the house, we're often drowning in laundry, and the only way we seem to be able to get around that is to understand a few things:<BR/><BR/>1. Occasionally I have to throw a load of laundry in, too.<BR/>2. Separating laundry (except for whites) just isn't going to happen most of the time.<BR/>3. Occasionally we both have to fold and put away. <BR/><BR/>I know other couples find other ways to get around it, but we've not found any other way. (This is getting harder and harder for us to figure out since I'm getting less and less capable of pitching in what with my expanding belly and restricted activity, but I imagine once the triplets arrive, we'll have to adjust our routine again anyway)<BR/><BR/>Jody's suggestion of FlyLady's method is a good one, though it never worked for me. (her method boils down to: never start a load of laundry that you can't finish, including putting it away. Personally, I don't think this works for a working mother or a SAHM with triplets... I think we have to take advantage of every free 15 minutes, period)Ms. Perkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923832430040384294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-18578459117001118842007-06-24T00:31:00.000-04:002007-06-24T00:31:00.000-04:00I do one load a day too.

In the winter it's more like two loads a day.Michele Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15061520456909635254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-45604491004384485762007-06-23T17:13:00.000-04:002007-06-23T17:13:00.000-04:00I don't know if you're looking for suggestions alo...I don't know if you're looking for suggestions along the lines of, build tunnels and have adventures in the laundry room, or just make sure you do at least one load of laundry -- including putting it away -- every day.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty good (eh) with the do-one-every-day thing. Putting it away? Not so much.<BR/><BR/>FlyLady has lots and lots of useful suggestions for tackling the Mountain of Laundry. I've just never been organized enough to have a system.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380822736915028078noreply@blogger.com
