With kids this is too real. I’m so tired of folding tiny shirts and tiny pants. 😭

I do it while watching TV or something. It never seems to stop though. Even better when the kids spill something on the couch or wet the bed and you have to do impromptu laundry in the middle of the non-stop laundry.

If they’re too young to fold their own, they’re small enough that their clothes should be able to just lay flat in the drawer.

You fold your toddlers laundry lol?

Yeah they get immediately stuffed into their corresponding drawers. They rip half them out anyway.

As for when they get older for school… Their shit is getting rolled just like mine. Way easier, more compact, and able to see what’s what immediately after opening your drawer. They’ll be helping the whole time.

We can fly a guy to the moon but we can’t make a laundry folding machine!

They have them. Not practical for most people, though. They should have them at laundromats, though.

You could get a folding board, that helps with shirts at least.

Not for a lack of trying, but nothing small scale works well.

Folding is stone age tech. We need a wrinkle-free laundry compressor/decompressor.

Basket solution. Other than the items that must be hung up to prevent excessive wrinkling, just lay out a number of laundry baskets that are separated by category (person X’s shirts, person Y’s pants, person Z’s unmentionables), located about waist high for convenience.

Chuck the cleaned, dry items into each sorted bin. Congratulations, you’re done.

Takes a few seconds to find a specific article of clothing later but saves hours in folding and putting away.

There’s always solutions, you also don’t need to sort it that way either. It being in one hamper is just as acceptable. But there is perception from other people to take into account.

Plus I find it harder to remember what I have left in clean when its all in the bin. Nothong worse than getting ready for work and realizing you have no clean pairs of khaki pants left.

The solution is for everyone to be exactly the same size so clothing is interchangeable!

Only needs to be one person unhappy with it to make everyone unhappy about it 😅

I feel this deeply in my bones. Why can’t it put them away too?!?!

By the power granted to me by podcasts, I can complete any mundane task. Handling the laundry is no problem at all. I even hang-dry my clothes these days for reduced energy usage and lower wear on the clothes, and the hanging part doesn’t bother me at all.
