I just have to know how many loads of washing you do each day? 

I know there are much bigger issues in life but i can't worry about the BIG things because i've got soooo much washing to do! LOL!

I would do at least 2 large loads each day but most days it would be 3 and if for some reason i miss a day then it can be up to 6loads. So coupled with drying, folding and ironing thats a lot of laundry!

I'm trying to work out if i'm totally disorganised or if this is typical for larger families?   

 LOL....i almost wrote this exact post yesterday...after doing 2-3 loads of laundry....AGAIN ... which it seriously seems like i do every day 

I'm drowning in a sea of laundry..... 

Well I only have 3 kids but feel like I am always washing too! I can't imagine how much washing bigger families have to do! It is awful! Matter of fact I am just washing and folding clothes now LOL

I do one load of laundry a day in the morning unless we're having a completely messy day in which case I'll also put one on during the evening/night...  My kids are pretty boring though, they wear the same damn clothes all the time despite having closets full of cool clothes!!!  LOL

I do 2 loads of laundry each day, usually one load of colors and one of whites.  I haven't done any ironing for the last 11 years since I moved to the US from the UK.  I don't put my favourite clothes in the dryer, I hang them on a flat clothes shelf in my garage to dry.

I have a large front load washer...the one that holds 16 pairs of jeans or 22 bath towels...adn it really does hold a lot of clothes...it holds about 2 to 2.5 times the amount of laundry that my old machine held...its great...only takes a little over an hour to wash and the same to dry...I "should" do about 1-2 loads/day...but usually just do a load here and there and then do a bunch in one day, near the end of the week...usually its about 2-3 loads on Monday, then a load or two during the week, then about 3-4 loads on Thursday or Friday...its not too bad...plus the older boys (they are 10 & 12) like to do laundry too so that helps...they just don't fold!!!

I don't do laundry every day, fortunately the boys and I have tons and tons of clothes (well, not me so much right now).....but I will do 2-3 loads a couple times a week.  Every once in a while, I actually get all the hampers emptied!  That feels good!  Wish it could last a week.  DH does his own laundry cause he does it a couple times a week. He doesn't have nearly as many clothes as the rest of us! 

I think there is something seriously wrong with my families laundry habits!  I need to do at least 1-2 loads each day, just to keep up.  I can't imagine having 3,4,5 or 6 kids, I wouldn't be able to leave the laundry!!

For me it depends on the day we had...it usually varies every week but on average i do the laundry 2-3 times a week

I do laundry about 3 times a week and it is about 3-4 loads each time

Very, very typical. Ugh. I do at least 2 loads each day. And like you, if I miss a day or two then my entire DAY is spent doing the stupid laundry.

Ok...I have to say that my kids have WAY too many clothes because i can stretch their laundry to every other week.  So right now I'm doing the boys laundry and the last time I did it was maybe 2 Fridays ago.  IT NEEDS to be done today though because they will run out tomorrow.  Same thing with dd.  I did her laundry two Thursdays ago.  Sadly she could have still kept going because I have too many outfits for her...LOL...

Dh laundry gets done the same way..I did his yesterday and the last time I did his laundry was 2 Thursdays ago.  He has about 20 pairs of underwear...LOL.  He will wear the same clothes 2 days or so in a row too....can't break him of that.  As long as the clothes don't stink he's all about wearing it...ha.  I do his dress clothes every other week too.  Right now I'm doing that.  He has a ton of buisness casual clothing though.  Probably something like 20 dress shirts and about 15 pairs of dockers.

Same thing for me.  So my secret is to wear all clothing until you run out....LOL...

I realize once the kids get to the point where they have favorites, I will have to do laundry more often.

Ha Ha my dh does that too!  He comes home from work takes a shower puts a t-shirt and shorts on, we eat dinner and then go to sleep.  So when it is time to do his laundry he has a small little basket of socks, underwear, and like 2 pairs of shorts and a few t-shirts!  I do have to wash his work uniforms even tho we pay for that service thru his work!

 Thanks everyone, it's good to know i'm somewhat normal!   

 HAPPY WASHING!!!!!
