We cannot use our (bigger) couch because it is regularly piled high with clean washing waiting to be folded!

Maybe hubby should help out and help fold and put away?? would save him getting frustrated about it!
I'm just like that! Ashlee's room's a mess coz I put her clean folded clothes on the single bed because usually she's asleep and I don't want to wake her up with the noisy dresser drawers!

yep us too, our couch is permanently out of commission. Hey, It's clean, it's folded (60% of the time) and if he really wants it done he does it.. lol. but he "doesn't do clothes" hence why sometimes the girls good clothes are folded in a pile on the couch.. cos i need time to hang them up.. and there are usually far better things to do.
speaking of washing.. I better go hang some. Mike has embarked on an anti-dryer campaign since realising how much our power bill has skyrocketed since moving to a house with a dryer, and an air coniditioning system which he had on super high heat over winter cos he feels the cold alot.

I also definately reckon that the washing triples with each kid you add. The few days after Ayja's birth i was astounded at how suddenly there was just so much damn washing.. and it wasn't all hers.. it seemed like suddenly everyone elses washing was more too. and no longer just 1 load a day, was more like 3! especially now with daycare where they can come home wearing the same clothes they went in (which would be a miracle) or some days have the entire contents of their daycare bags come home in plastic bags all sandy/painty/sopping wet.

Me too. Our couch is generally covered in washing sometimes folded sometimes not.
If we have visitors it gets moved onto the blanket box in our room.
I'm feeling really virtuous at the moment though cos it all got folded and put away last night

Im totally the same, DF gets so annoyed, but usually when I take it off the line Haleigh grabs it all so quick I ahve ot run around the house ot fetch it all. I so dont have the energy for that.
I hate washing, but I think vacuuming is the only bit of housework I actually enjoy

Im in that club. I'll wash it, hang it up and get it in but when it comes time to folding and putting away it usually sits there for a few days before I do it, or if I know the MIL is coming around then I make sure its out of the way.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

If I know my MIL is coming I do more washing cos she always folds it or me! Although she does it different to me and I end up refolding half it before it goes away. I am slack t actually putting it in the drawers once its folded

I have 2 loads waiting to be folded, one being hung out as soon as I'm off here (just suddenly needed to sit down), and one more to put on  I tend to fold the washing in lots of 3 loads which is actually pretty often but not every day. What's working best at the moment is that DH helps get the kids ready for bed (we basically dress one each) and I fold while that's all going on.

yay! i'm not the only one. once the clothes are clean i just seem to procrastinate so i don't have to fold it and put it away. it just seems pointless to me, i mean, i'm just going to get the clothes out again and unfold them when i wear them lol. in saying that though, i did just fold about 3 loads worth of washing this morning, it is yet to be put away though.

I hate washing. I dont mind doing it and hanging it out etc but folding is horrible. I just pile it on my table till either the mountain falls or someone comes over, and even then 9/10 times it just gets quickly shoved on my bed

Haha .. I will join the no fold club! I have 1 lot on the couch waiting and another lot in the basket waiting ... and of course half a clothesline full drying as we speak.
I made hubby help me the other night - just when he was nearly finished, I bought in another lot (and then a 3rd lot) he said 'can you stop doing that' ... LOL

I have started folding it all, i put the boys and mine away and hubbys is left on a chair and i leave it to him to put his own stuff away. he asked me if I could put his away when i put mine away and I said, well, i can do it all sometimes if you do too, so i left a huge pile for over a week. it wasn't put away so went back to just doing my own.
