I HAVE A NEW LAUNDRY SYSTEM.
(Yes, yes, tell me you’re middle-aged without telling me you’re middle-aged etc etc).
Earlier today, I was reflecting on how much I used to stress about laundry. I have never been particularly good at domestic chores and as a working mum, managing the laundry of four people felt overwhelming, thankless and never ending. So, six months ago, I implemented a new system. And while it’s not fancy - and Marie Condo would roll over in her grave (if she was dead) if she saw it - it has greatly reduced my laundry-related stress while also encouraging my kids to take responsibility for their own stuff, so I thought I’d share it in the event it might help you.
Here is my system:
1) I wash any clothes that arrive in the laundry. I do not collect clothes from bedroom floors or dirty-clothes baskets, and I do not shout at the kids to bring me laundry. If they don’t put it in the laundry I don’t wash it.
2) I drop the clean laundry in the large blue basket pictured.
3) Everyone has their own basket with their name written on it in Sharpie. (Towels, tea towels and sheets have a separate basket, not pictured.) When a child requires clothes, they sift through the blue basket, find what is theirs, put it on, or (ideally) they fill their basket, take it upstairs, bring it back down empty.
The end.
Things to note:
-They don’t fold anything. I don’t care.
- The girls have drawers with stickers on them - un**es. T-shirts. Socks etc so it’s easy for them to toss things in the right place, and then find them later.
-If they have no clean clothes, they have to wear dirty ones. It’s not ideal but I’m a fan of natural consequences.
- they’ve stopped asking me where stuff is. If they are looking for their blue t shirt they know it is on their floor or in the communal basket. If it’s not, their guess is as good as mine.
- my friend Emily is having a panic attack right now at the thought of running her household like I run mine. (Emily never met a hospital corner she didn’t like).

I used to live communally, when I had my kids. It was great to be a mom with small kids. You were never alone, you took turns cooking, cleaning, doing dishes etc. And you could ask if you had questions.

How do we 'build a village' today?

The family structure we’ve held up as the cultural ideal for the past half century has been a catastrophe for many. It’s time to figure out better ways to live together.

My friend just launched an amazing new book called The Lovely Haze of Baby Days. It's an honest picture book inspired by motherhood and the chaotic life with a baby. The point of the book is to give some support to new moms and remind them they aren't alone in motherhood. She is trying to raise 50k DKK on Kickstarter to bring the project to life and print the first books.

Check it out and if you like it, consider backing it.

You can see it and a cool video here -->
