Fluff question: who puts away clean laundry in your house?

Either dh or I will do our laundry wash dry n put away... everyone else does their own... we all have our own towels and wash in our own loads...

We are a multi generational blended household... there were never any clean towels until everyone started stashing their own..

I wash and fold, each person puts up. If the clothes aren't put up properly, they are taken away for a week or two, depending on how much of a mess.

I started taking away clothes because I've always folded their clothes and put them in a basket. 2 days later they were wearing wrinkled clothes because the day before they turned everything upside down in the basket to find 1 shirt. No.

Now, before I go to bed I straighten up a little. Laundry baskets go back into the laundry room, if they have clothes, they are mine. If they are just transferred to a chair,bed, dresser or floor, they are mine.

Now, I don't really have to worry about putting up clothes. What I do have to worry about are messy drawers and closets. That's another battle.

I do mine and they do theirs

I take care of the washing/drying. I hang up/fold mine and DH's clothes. I sort the kids clothes (18mos and 6 years) into their laundry baskets. We all dress for the most part from the laundry room or the baskets. Sometimes I get a wild hair up my butt and put all of everything away. The towels get folded and stacked in the laundry room and usually get used from there unless I put them away. Sheets are taken off the beds, washed, and put back on the same day.

I fold most of the non-iron clothes (mainly socks and undies). I put them into 4 piles, one for each person. We all put our own away, but I have to nag the kids to put theirs away.

As for ironing..... YUK that is my least favorite chore in the world. I usually leave mine in the basket for weeks and weeks (only ironing what I need wear each day) until DSO gets fed up with the overflowing basket and does mine for me!    He finished up his job on Friday and doesn't have another one lined up yet, so I'm hoping that he'll do all the ironing during the week. 

I have finally got my 12yo son trained to iron his own school uniform now - YAY!

Me. I like it done properly.

Me, I do it all, wash,dry  either outside or if it's raining, in the dryer, iron and put away. I will occasionally ask DH and DD's to put the clothes that don't need ironing away ( socks, underwear and towels mainly), if they're around.

It's quicker for me to get it all out of the way after I finish ironing than to wait for them to come home later and do so. If they all did their own washing each of them wouldn't have enough for a full load. DD's have very little white washing for instance, except school blouses. To me that would be a waste of resources if they each did 5 blouses each individually. So everyone's whites go in together, everyone's delicate's in another load and dark colours in another and so on.

Everyone does their own laundry and puts it away. It's been like that since their early teens. I will lend a hand if someone is busy and needs the laundry moved or folded. My oldest dd once dated someone who wore his clothes out of the laundry basket, never putting them away. She was horrified

When my kids lived home we had separate baskets for everyone and each person put their own laundry away. However, I was the person who washed, dried, and folded. I have since found out that many people have their kids do their own laundry entirely from the age of about 15. 

Two of us in our house. I do most of the laundry. My husband did more of it when he retired last fall, but now that he's been having chemo, and now chemo/radiation, I'm back to doing more. Sheets are washed, dried and put back in the bed. Towels I do as needed. I wash most of our clothes together, and he'll help hang up shirts if he's around. I sort and put away the rest. I've actually been doing better at getting it put away right after it's brought upstairs, instead of sometimes sitting for a day or two.

I think it's very good for kids to learn to do laundry at a young age (I had to teach a college roommmate because she'd never done it.), but I always wonder how efficient it is to have everyone in a household doing his/her own laundry? Does everyone have enough to do a full load of 'whites' or do they just do all items together? I don't wash jeans with my white tees and tanks, for example, and I wouldn't wash my or my husband's dress pants with jeans either.

I wash what laundry is brought to the laundry dry room
I switch it to the dryer
I sort it & fold it and put it in a basket

If they can't handle it from there it sits in the basket.

I seem to be the only person in my family who has the capability to sort clean laundry though.

I love reading about all the kids that do their own laundry. That's what we did with our kids. Put laundry baskets in their rooms and they were responsible for doing their own laundry from start to finish. My DH and I just share the job. We are retired and both of us just do the laundry when it needs doing. No score card, lol

I do laundry and hand it to my dad. He takes out his clothes which is fine and he puts his away. I put my stuff away. DS does his own laundry at times and leaves it in the basement. I haven't figured out how that is working for him as of yet seeing how the stuff is laying in a heap. I don't know if it's clean or dirty either for that matter. It's sitting on a counter.
