A house is a home and does not need to be perfect!

Depending on the age of the children, they can take responsibility for laundering their own clothes, especially if both parents work. If they are at school and involved in sports they are old enough to take some responsibility. Perhaps they can take responsibility for putting their worn clothes into the laundry hamper to be washed. They can have a laundry hamper in their room to put worn clothes into if there is not enough room in the bathroom. They may also like to have laundry bags hanging behind their bedroom door to place their laundry into.
What works well is to have one of those divided laundry hampers that separate the laundry. One for for whites, one for colored and one for dark; Have the children place their worn socks into the mesh underwear bags to keep them together they work well for other small items as well. Have one day a week that all laundry has to be in the laundry to be washed. Get them involved at a young age to help with sorting and folding when dry and putting away. The younger children are taught to help out the more harmony there will be in the home.

If you can, it’s worth having enough school shirts to get through a week without washing. Plus one extra for emergencies. Mind you, I know at least three kids will wear them, so it’s not as extravagant – it means they’re less likely to wear out before kid three.
