@sweetjesus777 I started doing laundry at 7 to help my single mom out. Idk if it's just the amount I've done or it's innate, but I also like to do laundry!

@everlastingsign Yeah, I haven't sorted laundry since I moved out of my parents' house. Never had any problems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@everlastingsign I never sorted more than towels from clothes 1. because my laundry is just loads of darks/black clothes and b. I have OLTS (Occasional lazy tendency syndrome). Then kiddo came along with his sensitive skin. And while it's still not sorting in the "traditional" sense, I have to wash his clothes, all the towels and his bedding with the everything free detergent and mine with regular smell good stuff.
When I lived by myself, I used my washer as a laundry basket. I'd just strip down in front of it before showers, when changing clothes, etc. and ran it when it was full. Throw whatever could go in the dryer until needed - occasionally "ironing" when necessary - towels/misc. on the weekend. Ahhh...to be young and live alone again!

@elle9406 Lmao omg yesssss, my husband is the fucking worst. I posted the other day and described this too.
He gets random specific clothes of his and washes them and puts either specific things or the whole load in the dryer, and if there was already stuff in there he leaves them strewn on the mud room floor (we walk through there as we mainly use our back door). He seems to think things wash AND dry faster with a smaller load. Which is NOT the reality at all. We don’t have a “quick wash” setting, just regular, the only thing is does is auto sense the weight of the clothes to determine how much water to use. And the less clothes are in the dryer, they take longer because they don’t tumble as much.
The other day, I got the laundry prepped in the washer so that when he woke up, all he would have to do it turn it on. I avoided starting it myself because he bitches because the washer screams when it’s filling, no clue why. Well when I texted him from babysitting, he said he took all my and our daughters’ clothes out and that he was doing a load and he would do ours after. Which he didn’t fucking do, so I got to do it in the evening when I got home.
It’s so fucking stupid I’m gonna put him in the dryer.

@faithwalker007 Awwwww okay this is good perspective though. I appreciate your candor! At least you’re working on it!
@faithwalker007 Same, sometimes I rewash the same load 2-3+ times before they get dried
@faithwalker007 From one ADHDer to another, add a little oxiclean to your washer with each load. I’ve forgotten laundry 2 days and it’s still good to go...don’t judge.

I have to go get some more laundry detergent tonight and was just going to do a vinegar rinse before rewashing the sheets I washed on Saturday. Totally adding oxiclean to my shopping list. Five kids and unmedicated ADHD makes laundry hard lolfaithwalker007

@faithwalker007 Omg I looked up that hex detergent, WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE?!

@wanttobefollower Because it REALLY works and you need so little. My husband works as a mechanic now at his own shop. So you know... sweaty man clothes. I used to have an issue of my clothes REAKING of ballsack if my clothes were DRIED with his. Even if his were already dried and I threw a shirt in there of mine real quick. Hex actually stops that. Something something enzymes lol.

@faithwalker007 I wonder if that would stop the dogs pissing on the bathmat over and over...

@wanttobefollower Mmmm MAYBE but if it doesnt have you tried Natures Miracle? I think thats what its called. Whatever you use, enzyme is the keyword you need for removing the doggys instinct of "gotta pee here!" It worked for this little shit.

@faithwalker007 i haven't tried that brand specifically but i've wondered if it's possible for that smell to linger through laundry detergent as well as sticking to tile, because our little shit (regrettably no photo available) will literally trot her happy ass out to the backyard, poke around for 10 minutes, then come back inside and pee on the floor somewhere. we got some "out!" brand stuff from walmart but it doesn't seem to be working.
