I feel like one of the DHs in a thread who just “doesn’t see mess” except it only applies to laundry in my case. I love cleaning my house, and it’s spotless (most of the time) but the laundry is my Achilles heel. I don’t even know if I hate it but I just constantly forget to do it. I will remember at 11pm just before bed that I should stick a load in the machine. So I do, always with the intention of hanging it to dry the next morning. But I always forget. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to rewash stuff that has been in the machine for days. I have such a massive backlog of laundry it seems I will never get caught up with it. I have managed to delegate so that DCs wash their own school uniforms on Friday evenings so at least I know they have clean stuff for Monday. They don’t always remember though and neither do I so it’s often a case of me leaping out of bed at 1am on Sunday night to grab a couple of shirts and trousers to put in a quick wash.
I have no tumble drier but I can dry one load in my airing cupboard and one smaller load on my over stairs airer per day. If it’s a very rare sunny day I can hang a small load outside but it’s very shaded and usually means nothing dries.
What do I need to do to crack this? I need to rewire my brain to think “laundry” on a daily basis. Please help me.
