RE: My Laundry Monster is Now My Laundry Pet
Meanwhile, we have an metre-tall pile of laundry due to the fact that we rarely even have water service hahaha. I'd say I'm grateful I don't go out much, because I tend to have enough clothes even though we wash everything like once a month.
I though about the water situation in some places. I also thought about the post from a mom handwashing all her babies clothes the other day. Things like that sure make me feel inadequate, like I should be doing so much better because it is easier for me than others. But I decided to write the post anyway, and stick to what I know and my personal situation.
Laundry was a chore that ate at me for YEARS - I could just not catch up... And, unfortunately I know a whole lot of other
momspeople who feel the same way.Enough clothes for a month sounds like a lot. I don't think I would have enough pants to make it a whole month...
I washed it all yesterday! :D Filled the enormous washing machine three times to fit it all.
I don't go out much so I wear the same 4 to 5 pairs in intervals, put one in the laundry basket if it gets stained or dirty and keep rotating till the next washening.
I feel the same way with other things. When I don't have Internet, I make plans about what to do when it comes back. Then it comes back, and I use my time to browse social networks and make memes... The same goes for many other things. I'm incredibly privileged compared to most people in Venezuela, and yet I don't do much with my privilege and have accomplished much less than people who are in eternal scarcity. Having so much, I also feel inadequate due to my indiscipline. That's why I'm training myself a little, but I'm bad at it. I have a friend who is helping me a lot with motivation and ideas for task management. She's very strong in that sense.
