Oh I got back ache or pain this day after washing many baskets of laundries. What about you fellow mothers. Did you also felt what I have feel right now? I did not use washing machine yet its because I did not buy any one. Still need time to save for that washing tool. Hehehe its alright as long as it was finished might be I need time to rest anyway. When you felt tired after doing laundries, dod you go to your therapist to have massage? Or let your partner ask his favor to rub his hands to your ache parts of the body? I wanted my partner to do so but he is also tired from his work in the weekend.What about you? What can you tell about your pains after work?

Oh my.. I just hate doing my laundry... We do not have a washing machine too.. actually we have one but it's just crazy.. It spins then it pauses right before spinning again to other way--- so yeah before it spins again, it drains the water instead and oh boy... you actually know how exhausting that is right.. you just keep filling water again which is so annoying.. So yeah there, because of that I had to wash my clothes by hands. With a dry and sore hand afterwards, i also get a aching back and legs from long hours of sitting uncomfortably. My arms get blisters as allergic reactions from the soap. My fiance though offers a good massage...

Yes same feelings at least we are too now heheheh. We just used to it afterwards and learn to adjust all our burdens in washing and soap reaction. That's a good break for you that tenders the weakness of your body. Just use other brand of soap that is not so hard with something that can cause our hands irritate and allergy. Shift to other brand that less allergic reaction.

Im not a mother yet, but i do wash clothes with my bare hands. I have a washing machine but it is, currently, malfunctioned so i use my hands instead. I would have back aches after every laundry. What I do after laundry is, just rest, lie down and watch television, after a while the back ache goes away. If the pain doesn't leave after a day, i'll have my back massaged. Doing something fun (ex. watching tv, playing board games with your kids) when pain comes would help hasten the pain, this help transfer your attention to the more fun and less on the pain.

Yeah I agree with you. Each of us has different ways in facing the pains after our laundry. That is good for you. But me I don't want to watch television if I'm tired I just go to bed and stretch my body and have sleep or nap. I will be satisfy if I can rest for a while than seeing shows . It can adds an eye soar for me when I am exhausted with it.The best for me is sleep and close eyes and dream hehehehe.
