Never putting laundry away

In our home its something that has improved with age and time when children were living at home and I worked many more hours there was usually an ironing basket piled high (but never dumped around the house) so much so my mum and dad would visit and clear the lot.
Nowadays usually washed dried and ironed within a day or two and put away. Now I often help my kids if they get a pile of laundry.
Ironing depends on fabric but prefer neatly pressed outer clothing.

No kitty I very rarely iron these days. Only cotton clothes in the summer and my son bought me a very neat ironing board that sits on the side when needed in the kitchen.

I must say my AC tidy the washing away.

A friend’s dog once brought to a visitor a pair of knickers from the washing basket.

I could never live like that either. At this time of year I dry my clothes on an airer and in the morning finish those items that need it either in the tumble dryer (towels) or on the radiators. We had a surprise male visitor the other day and I said to Mr R that I was so pleased that, luckily, it hadn't been a day when I had my knickers drying on the radiator!

I'm not sure that clothes are ironed nowadays!

I iron, fold, whatever, soon after laundry is dried. I don't have an ironing basket.
When I was young with children however, my ironing basket would be full to the brim and ironed when I could make time. But we never had clothes sitting around.

I had my granddaughter living here, I would wash and iron her laundry and put it on a cupboard outside her room, and there it would stay, she would just root through it to find what she wanted.

I’m bemused too AussieGran by the mountains of laundry piled high in my daughters house. It’s all over the place,on the sofa,in laundry baskets, piled on the ends of the kids beds all in a crumpled heap. I wonder how she finds anything to wear!.

I wash one load a day. The next day I iron it and put everything away into the wardrobe straightaway. I can always find clean ironed clothes. None of this takes much time to do as it"s only one load at a time. I've always done this even when I had a large family living at home. I just found it much simpler to be organised. I notice though that my adult children don't follow my example. They don't iron unless absolutely necessary just before they go out and always seem to have piles of clothes lying about.too They lead very busy lives but then so did I once. Maybe its a generational thing.

I'm very much with you AG59. I like tidy. However, we all live differently and I watch with dismay what goes on in GC home but obviously I say or do nothing about it. Their house their rules.
