Mean Old Mom

According to my dd, MOM stands for Mean Old Mom. I went on the warpath today and she did not like it. It was the same old problem as every other week, LAUNDRY. My dd will not stop throwing her clothes in the floor. If she has on something for 5 seconds, to her it's dirty and she throws in on the floor. Then on Saturday, I spend half a day washing and putting up her clothes. Well this morning, MOM had had enough. I made her bring all her dirty clothes to the laundry area. Sort them, put them in the machine, add soap, etc. Then on to the dryer. She had 2 huge loads. I did not help at all. After they were all done, she had to hang them up or put them in the right drawers. Thank God we don't have neighbors to hear all the screaming and yelling. While her 2 loads were washing/drying, she had piled a bunch more clothes on the floor in the closet. Needless to say, she spent a long time getting her clothes put up.

I've decided that we will have this same fight every Saturday and eventually she will decide that throwing clean clothes in the floor and then having to wash/dry and rehang them is just not fun. Or she will end up naked. I am going on laundry strike!!!

Want to join me in the Mean Old Mom Club?!!?

Seems to me my twins and I have this same ongoing "fight" too!

My kids have gone to school in dirty, stinky clothes because they didn't do their laundry and they ran out of clean clothes. I stopped doing their laundry about 2 years ago.

I have rewashed and rewashed things that still had tags on them - they think it is easeier to throw it in the hamper than to put it in their drawersor on a hanger - and even the best trained cats can't resist the smell of boys socks and undies in the corner and consider that the "relief" area!
