anyone here have to go to a laundromat to wash clothes? how do you cope? do you have alot of clothes for each kid? how amny loads do you do at a time, do you do it yourself or have the people in the laundromat do it for you? any tips?
my apt doesn't have room for a machine, I have s kids I do about 4 loads every 2 weeks I can go longer, the kids start wearing the next size up, if I can't make it that week, dh has crazy hours so I have to fit ii in is schedule we all have enough basics underwear and socks to last a really long time.... I don't like people doing my laundry I used to be the only one to do it, but lately if dh could do it I'll take him up on it,

if you're that busy, some laundromats have laundry services. they'll even pick up and deliver, sometimes for no extra fee. sorry, I've never used one, but I'm sure the phone numbers should be easy enough to find. there are also 24 hour laundromats.

I didn’t have my own machine until had had 2 kids……..it costs a LOT more for their dropoff service and they don’t pretreat or hang anything up.

hm ... as a single girl living in an apt in ch ... I bought my own washer/dryer stack up set ... got sick of going to the laundry on my only day off ... and the dryers NEVER dried ...

but I still always have extra undies ... can't have too many in case I'm too lazy to do the laundry ... plus I usually like to wait for full loads ...

extra underwear I used go buy more if I didn't have acess to a machine also dh. I had to go buy more for ds, I hate when the clothes are still wet I tell dh please make them as dry as possible, I wish I could buy one its my dream to have one, the good thing with the laundromat is that you could do 4 loads in 2 hours. I guess I would use the drop off service if I was really desperate but it can be as much as 70 cents a pound,
