For our laundry. Each child has a basket. No sorting anymore. I wash that one child’s basket and then put cloths back in the basket they help fold and put away. I then get next child’s basket and never have to sort because it’s only their basket.
This Earth Angel is mind boggling! Doing laundry of loved ones is an act of caring n kindness! Many years ago I switched to a "majority hanging" system n luv it so much! Children n teens are often easily frustrated learning proper fold techniques but given a pile of clean laundry n 30 hangers n they feel accomplished in ten minutes. We made mini tshirt closets by pulling bunk beds or dressers out 3 feet from wall n putting up tension rods n push lights.
I remember ‘climbing laundry mountain’ for a family of five with extra dance, sports and other activities’ clothing and it was close to 10 loads per week. Now that my kids are teenagers, they do their own. I will fold their laundry for them IF they sit with me and chat while I do. This way I get to check in with them. If they don’t/can’t spend the time then they fold their own. Mostly they spend time with me while I fold. They like it. 😁
I love the comment to do everyones laundry separately and put in their baskets and have them fold them and put them away❤️🕊❤️ wish i would have had this idea earlier ❤️🕊❤️it doesn’t hurt kids to learn real life skills to get them ready for the real world❤️🕊❤️
Anytime we visit my mother in law she loves doing our laundry! My husband said she did everyone's laundry up until he went to college (and when he came home) because it was just her thing! I honestly enjoy it. I've been doing my own laundry in some form since I was six!
Alicia, are you teaching the family to hold off on throwing everything into the laundry? Items can be worn more than once if not stained//soiled. If they do not have a condition such as ringworm, they can wear articles of clothing again.
I know how hard laundry can be. You do to much work. I had three jobs and 4 kids and took care of my parents and worked in there fruit ranch. My point is, I had no time. Kids like to know they are contributing. A hat on the table with chores on a piece of paper folded. Everyone picked there job. This was saturdays. It can be a fun new family game to help mom so we can all do something fun. I made duty rosters for each room explaining the steps for the chore in that room. Even my 6 year olds did there own laundry. Having there own basket and learning to take care of there clothes, clearing there dishes from the table and everyone helping with cleaning the kitchen eCh night teaches them they are a working part of a family unit, how to be self reliant and feel good about themselves. It also frees up more time to have family fun time. Understanding it takes patients and a positive attitude without yelling that makes this work. I hope you try it. It has so many benifits
I think you are incredible, I also fostered and ended up adopting, so I can some what relate. Do you ever have the kidoes help with chores and such, like helping cook or clean to learn life skills, cause Im a new sub and all Ive seen is you're like super woman doin all the things! Not that your not doing all the right things, I was just wondering if everyone pitches in and such?
When my daughter's were 2 & 4 years old, their dad died. I took them to the laundry room and taught them how to sort clothes to be washed by me. They then transfered the clothes to the dryer and helped fold and sort the dry clothes. With 10 kids, time to teach them to help mom
If you make the first basket emptied the sock basket, next one emptied becomes the oldest kid's basket, next empty basket kid #2, etc. By the time the last basket is emptied each kid has a basket of their own clothes they can put away. The socks can be paired up and left in the basket for kids to get on their own.
And as the baskets get used for the specific kids folded laundry the floor sort gets more organized and the dogs wont be running through all your hard work.
I’m with some of the others. I’d give each kid a hamper with their name on It. Whe I fold clothes each kids would go into their basket. Then they would put their own clothes away
I understand what ur saying, I personally would not be able to do it though, I've got a specific way I like my clothes folded and put away, my mom has folded my clothes before and it literally just makes it harder for me because then I have to redo them, like it was nice she did it but doesn't help me keep my dresser the way I find it works best for me
I think kids need to learn household tasks so when they are on their own they don't struggle. Age appropriate of course. My daughter went to college last year and she is the only one out of four girls who could do laundry, cook and other simple tasks. She said "mom, they haul their clothes home every weekend!" She said why would they do that when laundry is free? I feel confident she can take care of her self with us there if she needs us. So proud of her!
I fold and sort my laundry on the table to keep piles from mixing...would that be helpful to you so no one could walk through it and you might have more space?
Do you have a video how you get the kids to separate or the whole process of laundry? We are a family of 6 and I swear I have a much laundry as you🤦♀️
I was born in a 9 siblings family plus parents, we used tu help a lot every day, at the age that we could take care of our clothes and bedroom, mom Or dad did not helped, insted que helped in the kitchen with dogs and garden, even with groceries!!, marvelous loving family!!
I'm going to assume your love language is acts of service. ❤️❤️ I'm sure you get tired because you are human but I have a feeling it's also deeper than just "I have to do because I'm a mom"
I give you lots of credit! We 're a family of 4 and I swear we take in neighbors laundry! Socks? Hello...where do they escape to? I have utmost respect for you! We hang up 80% of clothes just for shrinkage reasons. That's a job too. Anyway, my love and admiration to you! You are one amazing Mom! Blessings.. You put the rest of us to shame!🥰🥰🙌🙌🙌❤️
@@angelarodgers8451 Now that's really a great idea. Thank you! If only they all go in laundry hampers to begin with. My house it's hunt and find! Blessings!
I get that your in a hurry , but do you think you should fold better or just separate and put way unfolded cause it looks like you didn't fold anything
I just started watching your video and just subscribed to your channel. I have a little OCD so I just wanted to help you the whole time🤗. I don’t know your back story but I have to say I love that your video are real. You are showing us the real thing and I love it.
If those kids are setting in the room with you, teach them kindness. When they see someone working that they ask “Do yo need help with the laundry?” Even if you at least they are developing kindness skills.
Six kiddos in our family. My mom had had enough so she got a big cardboard box and that’s where socks lived. We had to mate them ourselves if wanted a pair! It was easier for her to go to the laundry mat and do all 8 loads at the same time. She was finished in less than three hours!
I love when you fold clothes. It is a life skill that your daughters might enjoy doing with you. It is away you can develop great communication skills and a closeness during folding. Plus you get folding done faster. one week older girls next week older boys if you need the boys to help. There is nothing like private time with your girls. You will build memories that when they are grown every time they fold clothes they will think of you.
I had three girls and my husband and none of them cared if they turn the clothes the right way before throwing them in the hamper so that just made my job that much harder! I can't imagine doing it for 10 + 2.
I solved that problem by putting the clean clothes away the same way I found them. If they were inside out they stayed that way and they had to turn them the right way before wearing. After 2-3 times of finding their clothes inside out they put them right BEFORE putting them in the hamper.
I would give each kid a basket to fill and when it filled the whole basket gets washed and dried and returned no sorting to do as next was is next childs full load yes it 2 loads a day to get through a family that size it a mountain to go though by your self get the older kids to help fold if had own basket and was washed one basket a time least no sorting time best of luck beautiful family
I thought having 5 children laundry was enough when they went to high school I taught them how to iron and use the washing machine but I done the school uniform I'm getting anxiety watching you God bless 🙏💞
She spends a huge amount of time turning everything right side out. Teach/require everyone to turn everything right side out before putting it in the dirty cloths.
why don't you put the clothes straight into the baskets or even wash each child's clothes in different machines. If each child has their own basket you could wash ,then dry and straight back into their own basket. :)
Your an amazing Person and Mother…your Incredibly patient and loving….when it comes to the socks…do a competition with the kiddies who can Pair up the Socks the Most…that way they will Help you Too and Have Fun xxx
We wash our clothes separately. My oldest does his own. My husband does his own, I do mine and also my youngest son’s until he graduates. My husband and I share doing towels and linens. I hang everything (clothes)up to dry except socks and jeans. So easy to just hang up in the closet when dry. Plus no sorting since we wash each separately. This has saved me so much time throughout the years. Everyone puts their own clothes away. No way would I sort for this many people. Would drive me crazy!
My son is 27 and perfectly capable of doing his laundry and anyone else's but I'll offer to do it so I can fold his shirts and stuff. It's a mindless but necessary and productive chore.
Hi, I admire you and how hard you work. I follow another large family I thought you would not mind if I shared them with you. She has 10 or 11 kids and shared her different systems in her older videos. You may find things that may work for you there. Anything to help. Search for tribe of many.
Hope you can see what is what ..little messy even when it is sorted ..get a basket for each child and put the folded clothes in threre, so the dogs can't put their nose in it 😉
Laundry is absolutely the worst job.ever. . I can't keep up ever and there never seems to be enough room to put all the clean clothing away,. I can not keep up with this job and there's only seven of us. HOW DOES SHE DO IT ????? I ADMIRE THIS WOMAN MENTAL STRENGTH...... SHE IS AMAZING
No se que estás haciendo. Pero pienso que es todo para lavar no? Yo separaría la ropa de color por un lado y la ropa blanca por el otro Lavó todo lo de color junto Los jeans después con las medias Después toda la ropa íntima. Y por último la ropa blanca con un poco de bleach.
I appreciate the fact that you have ten kids, you deserve an award. But there is something to be said if you're going to fo a job do it well. Seems like just jumbleing up clothes and throwing them.

Same. I wash everyone separately!
What a great idea.
However, towels and bedding are so heavy.
@@karolynmcelwain7857 yeah that has to separate
You have the patience of Job. The fur babies are so pretty. Wish I was there to help fold the laundry. Bless you !!!!

I had enough when I had five children and they were small. Sh we should have the older ones help out .

I just do laundry for myself and I get overwhelmed can't imagine doing it for twelve people!!!!!!!!
Your patience is to be admired!!! How often do you wash? I cannot imagine the loads for 12! God bless you!
The older kids can do their own...mama needs a break sometimes 😳😳
👍 That was also my thought

Time for kids to start helping with the laundry
I would literally pay someone to come in and just deal with the laundry. What a massive task’
Right i feel you!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sorry, but with 10 kids....why are none of them helping u?
Is there a "wash n fold" near Rochester, NY? If not, there should be. Pick up and delivery would be great.
I fold and sort my laundry on the table to keep piles from mixing...would that be helpful to you so no one could walk through it and you might have more space?
You should give the kids all of the socks and could turn it into a game, of who can find matching ones first
I sort my laundry before folding too. It makes it feel like it’s going faster. Still takes forever 😋
My fav way to do laundry was to hang most everything on hangers! Saved time and the kids really liked it.
Blessings to you and your family
Just subscribed. I have a trying time with 2 kiddos. You are Amazing. God Bless you all.
Just curious, how often do you do laundry? Do you have to go to laundromat or do you have a washer and dryer in the home?
She is going to a laundromat. There is a video about it.
All the kids age 12 and up should be doing their own laundry. Good life learning experience.
Right 👍, at least help with this
Do you have a video how you get the kids to separate or the whole process of laundry? We are a family of 6 and I swear I have a much laundry as you🤦♀️

Socks go in a lingerie bag 4 to 5 pair per bag zip throw on washer then dryer. Then only 5 pair of socks to match at a time.

I'm guessing there is some sort of system with the various piles on the floor but it just looked like chaos to me!!
If those kids are setting in the room with you, teach them kindness. When they see someone working that they ask “Do yo need help with the laundry?” Even if you at least they are developing kindness skills.
I praise you I have a hard time getting 2 baskets put together lmao 🤣 I hate laundry folding

Please get someone to help you. You are doing too much. Your awesome but you need time for yourself.
why don't the older ones do their own? You shouldn't have to do all of them.
I would put bins with their names on it and then toss their clothes in their bins
She spends a huge amount of time turning everything right side out. Teach/require everyone to turn everything right side out before putting it in the dirty cloths.
Agree! If my 3 put their clothes in the laundry inside out, they got them back that way. I hung it or folded it the way it was. LOL
@@sherrylhardin8913 I did too. And, if the garment was on the floor……it didn’t get washed. It didn’t take long to teach those lessons.
Mine still gets turned outside ut
That’s what my laundry looks like for four lol
I like your show and your family is so blessed
Folding your laundry looks like a nightmare You gotta come up with a better way cause that’s got to be torture.
You should have a look at the laundry hacks solution on UA-cam channel real mom real solutions
You definitely need a better system
What does the husband do?
Only working 😉
He s a special education teacher.
why don't you put the clothes straight into the baskets or even wash each child's clothes in different machines. If each child has their own basket you could wash ,then dry and straight back into their own basket. :)
Organize there clothes by baskets.the older two can have there own and the rest 2 to a basket
I WILL NEVER COMPLAIN AGAIN
I hate pairing socks. I can’t imagine having that many too match

check out " real mom real solutions" on you tube. she has 15 kids! she has a system for laundry that might help you.
Lol omg and I have only 3 kids And she has what's your secrets lol 😂😂😂 my house looks like a explosive dynamite hit my house
This lady has gotta have 1hell of a memory.
That is so gross dogs running around on the clean clothes. Why do they allow the dogs to b everywhere in the house .
Ok...this was a confusing video
You need a new System to fold the Laundry and you need help fromm your Kids!!!!
Interesting
I just skimmed thru does she ever talk to us
Would she have the time?
Sometimes.
I am so glad I only had one child…. He is an adult now…married but no kids.
Do you ever 😴 💤
