Prob w dh is.. he still lazes ard, watch tv n play his PC games..


he will hang the clothes when every one goes to slp.. or sometimes he dun even remember.. haiz.. can't hang the clothes out coz no one at home to keep in case it rains.. usually will hang on the racks n put in kids room where there's fan or aircon to dry it..

:rotflmao: yes yes! It happens! Mine also like that. He would say he would do it but he gives priority to the tv, cutting his nails, shower, newspaper, pod cast and then..... :snooze: forgot about the laundry!

Then I wake up the next morning with the laundry still in the washing machine :stompfeet: :frustrated: in the end, I give up, I do myself.

Morning mummies! I survived my 1st week without maid.

My dh still stick on his games, with or w/o maid. At times he does help to look after them. Lucky most of the time both kids can entertain themselves while I do housework. Now, my mum cook dinner for us and fetch kids from CC so that I don't have to rush home daily, thanks god I have her!
I realised my 7kg front load is too small for 2A2C. Need to use daily. Should have got a dryer too. I find hanging the clothes is the most troublesome work, I spend 30min to use hangers to hang the clothes before I place them over the pole
Though tired, I am happy that I have my privacy back.

Mine is a 8kg and I wash about 3 days per week. Each time about 2-4loads. I launder by colour/function, so there are many loads. When there's bedsheets, soft toys, cushion covers, there will be more loads.

I usually hang the laundry while watching tv. Kid will hang his underwear and pants. I will do the rest. You will get faster as you do.

I am relieved not having a maid…my brother and his wife will be bringing bb and maid home after confinement. After 2 months plus, the maid is still not able to hold the fort and communication with her is still quite chicken-and-duck. Without my mum beside her, maid is not confident to cook.

Wash uniforms every day...only daughter's pinafore changed twice a week.
Ironing done 3x a week unless I am prepared to see a mountain high of clothes. Kids have more clothes to wash...one set from night, then another set after school and bedtime after shower...used to clean smell before heading to bed. If I am in the mood, then do more...if not, close 2 eyes.
No more crawling toddlers, so floor doesn't need to be mopped everyday.

Daughter has PE twice a week...so 3 blouses to iron and 2 pinafores.
Son cannot wear PE attire to school now that he is in S1, so mid-week have to iron once to last till Friday.
No matter how I pull his shirts straight from the washing machine, they still look crumpled.

Ya.. heng no more toddlers... if not sure pengz..

Lucky no more toddlers, or else have to cook porridge and mop floor everyday. No energy for another active kid.

How do u mummies wash the kids’ PE shirt? My dd1 is in track CCA and her white shirt is always so dirty that I have to scrub it before throwing it into the washing machine. And dirty socks too. I really hate the scrubbing part. Urgh!
