      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.

      Ya manz.. sometimes i wait wif him till bed time to hang the clothes.. so tat HE WILL REMEMBER.. :rotflmao: Tis men.. really buay tahan them at times.. :stupid:

          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!

                      I don't scrub...put in a cap of Kao wide bleach with my soap powder.
                      This bleach is for coloured and white clothes.

                        Does the dirt come out with Kao without scrub? If it does, I really need it!
