10 loads of washing done today,

Another 15 to go tomorrow.

Seriously I'm not bragging, I'm v ashamed, its become a nightmare, my house is very cluttered.

There are 5 of us , baby no 4 is due in may and I've got to get sorted,

I do wash every day, the kids do have clean clothes to put on, they are not tramps.

Has anyone ever managed to turn thier house round and changed thier ways?

Please help, i'm so down about it all

Blimey I can't believe how much washing you all do We're a family of 5 and we do 1 underwear wash a week, 1 clothes wash a week and a towel and bedding wash every month. Underwear is changed daily except for vests which are changed after showers. Clothes are expected to be worn at least 3 times unless they are very dirty. I just do not have the time or inclination to wash clothes that often. I'm sure it's not necessary either. Also, if clothes are washed that often they will wear out quicker.

A woman after my own heart, Bunjies.

How old are the OP's children? Could they simply be asked to organise their own laundry?

Washing machines are very simple to use, and it will teach them valuable life skills...
