[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 295530, member: 6705"] I feel like you're right, Shari, we ARE all married to the same guy. A while back I got fed up with the laundry situation myself. I tacked up 5 signs on the laundry room wall, one for each basket: Jeans, Dark Colors, Light Colors, Whites, Towels & Sheets. On Friday evening/Saturday morning, everyone takes their own laundry downstairs and sorts it themselves. [B][I]I do the actual laundry.[/I][/B] If it's not there, it doesn't get washed. Each person is allowed one load per week if they miss the cutoff - and they have to wash and dry it themselves. Once the laundry is washed and dried, I cart it upstairs. I sort it into piles - husband, Onyxx, Jett. I fold mine and put it away, and take the baskets back downstairs. Each person is responsible for retrieval, folding and putting away of their own stuff. Onyxx usually ends up making 3-4 trips because she gets her laundry after each load. I know she doesn't fold it, but that's her issue - if she likes wrinkles, so be it. Jett and husband I will tell once, when everything's done. I will let it go for 2 days. Then I start getting naggish. I think I'm going to start mysteriously making the piles vanish and then they can wait a week and do 2x the folding and putting away. Or more. All I have to do is find a place to hide the wrinkly clothes... [/QUOTE]
