[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 734635, member: 1550"] Lol. I was pretty sure you did that. I have no routine. I don't fold anything until it is ready for a drawer and only if it needs to be folded. Like to me an underwear drawer doesn't need to be perfectly stacked. Or socks. I buy the same socks all the time and just grab two when I need them. I don't own an iron anymore. I never used one much. Not at all anal about the house. Or anything. I am not compulsive about anything really. My husband does his own laundry and folds the big stuff, however he is picky about what he wears and doesn't have a lot of clothes so there is never much laundry. Example: He has about six pairs of black identical jeans. No kidding. He got used to wearing them because at work sometimes he would get messy so he wanted black. Well, now he is retired but still wears the same jeans lol. His shirts have to have very thin material. I gave up shopping much for him, although he liked my funny retirement shirt! Onward: I didn't have strong opinions on cloth diapers vs. disposables. Nobody in my world used cloth when I had babies so there was nothing to think about.
