This makes me so mad!!!

How old are your kids? Perhaps its time that they start helping with or doing the laundry. I started doing my own laundry (or at least most of it) by 9-10 years old. They'll appreciate the things you do a lot more if they start having to do them too.

Right there with you...apparently my family thinks there is a little fairy that comes in and cleans up after them. My husband actually told me the other night that I don't clean. Ya...it just mysteriously cleans up itself. AHHHHHH!

This is sad. Your kids are old enough to start doing a little for themselves. You need to put your foot down. Our kids are gifts from God, you can say they are temporarily ours, because they will grow and move on with their own lives. It is our job to teach our children to become responsible grown-ups. Nothing will come from us teaching our kids to be irresponsible or to be dependent on others. My oldest is 9 yrs.old and my second is 8 yrs.old, we have a housekeeper but they put their dirty laundry away and once it is washed they put it away. They pick up their own toys and even wash dishes sometimes. Good Luck.

My laundry never ends the good thing is my hubby does all his own (he is picky about his stuff lol) and my oldest two fold and sort and put away the laundry. This is how I solved the whining and complaing about clothing in my home and it works...

Sounds to me like it is time for change! Kids need to do everything that has to be done in a home, and to share responsibility. They need to learn to give of themselves. So, my suggestion would be to teach them how to do laundry and tell them they are on their own from now on. They won't like it at first, but will do it when they realise no-one else will! My kids used to help with laundry when they were 5 - 6 years old and as they got older, took over doing their own. Same goes for other chores - otherwise when they leave home they will be totally helpless, and selfish. Sharing responsibility, helping each other and enjoying helping each other is one of life's most important lessons.

What I hate about doing laundry is finding the clean clothes back in the laundry still folded up. It wasn't even worn, so I know it wasn't dirty and needed to be washed again. Just wait, their turn in coming and then they will understand what I went through with them.

Time to pick a weekend starting on Friday and get none done and see how they feel, then they have to start doing their own laundry. Even a 5 year old can do some laundry. I once did laundry like that and my kids would get the pins for me or collect their and bring it to me. They have always helps since they could pick up a sock. A little late for you, however, you can make a stand and off you go. Venting is good, your future actions should you accept them, will help your kids to grow up in a good way.

Maybe their clothes are just not organized properly such that they can't find their clean clothes or your kids are just too lazy to find their stuffs. You should teach them to organize their stuffs as to easily identify them especially when they are always in a hurry to school. I even suspect that you do so much laundry since your kids can't identify their clothes as clean or not so they just throw them in the hamper. Talk to your kids and even show them sometimes how you do laundry. Seeing how tedious it is would help them understand your position. That way they would start to help on in one way or the other.

I don't blame you at getting cross with them. I feel that washing is a never ending task, as soon as the clothes are clean and dry they are back in the laundry basket again. I would tell your kids to do their own washing if they have such a problem with it!

Don't do laundry for a few days and see what they say. Then they will know what it is like to really not have much to choose from.
