Starting this week I will not wash my clothes anymore. I will let our laundry woman wash my clothes. I need to rest from my chest pain plus I feel lazy now to wash my clothes. I will spend more time here in mylot if I will not wash and also attend to my print business. I wash clothes every Monday. I think this is a good idea. Yes I don't want washing clothes anymore. I will be free. Anyway I just have few clothes after a week our laundry woman can take care of that. Do you still wash your own clothes?

@averygirl72 my father was old fashioned, I was trained and taught that the men should be the one to earn to make a living and to provide, while the women should do the house chores. Do not get me wrong, this was Filipino male mentality I think up to the early 70's.
I do the plumbing, electrical, carpentry, house maintenance etc...while my wife, daughter, and mother does the cooking, dish washing, laundry, most of the cleaning although I also cook and do cleaning, yes I wash the car

@louievill Yeah that's what my father do too. He never bothers himself with washing clothes. He just wears them and he has clean clothes if he needs them

Never as in never? Good for you there's always someone who do the laundry for you. You have never tried at least once? Who wash your clothes now?

Yes but I'm planning not to wash clothes anymore even now that my chest pain is gone. What day do you wash and how often? Washing machine makes it easier

@averygirl72 I wash when I get a load but I do the sheets and towels each week so probably about four loads a week.

Why do you have to wash your clothes, when you already have a laundrywoman? We also have a laundrywoman and she uses the washing machine. But she washes our blouses with hands because they are delicate.

@averygirl72 You are a good girl. Your laundrywoman is happy because she has lesser clothes to wash. But now, no more.

@SIMPLYD Seriously I enjoy washing clothes. I'm feel happy after I finish. I see all clothes are fresh and clean. But now I don't enjoy it anymore. It's tiring job. Thank God we have a budget for a laundry woman

I want to be busy and I used to love doing laundry it's exercise for me so even if we have weekly laundrywoman I don't include my clothes. Starting today I don't want to do washing clothes anymore I'm tired of it.

We don't have servants. Everyone has to do their own work unless they are sick. Then family steps in.
Hope your are feeling better soon.

@averygirl72 Everyone does laundry any day they want to. Most here have machines in their homes, so it is not a big deal.

@PatZAnthony Washing machines really makes the job easier you don't need a laundry lady at times

Most people here hire a helper for their laundry and ironing clothes. That's interesting to know

@DianneN So you are careful in washing your clothes. You just don't put them in the washer

@averygirl72 Yes, I have a washing machine and dryer here in Florida and at my home up north. Some clothes are dry clean only, some are for cold water, hang to dry, others are for cold wash, low temperature dry, etc. It gets crazy! I don't want to ruin anything.

@PainsOnSlate Really? Here in the Philippines most people hire laundry woman weekly. Maybe there in Canada it's not popular

a laundrywoman comes here at home every Tuesday but when it rains, she irons them after a day
@averygirl72 (38848)

20 Feb 17
Tuesdays why not weekends? She comes here Saturday for my aunt and Sunday for us. So you also pay someone to iron clothes? We do ironing of our clothes

@averygirl72 Tuesdays because that is the only day in a week that she is free. she works and washes clothes in other houses the rest of the week. her off days are weekends

We wash our clothes using a washing machine. A girl comes every Tuesday to do the ironing and cleaning of our bathrooms. We bring, however, our towels, bed sheets and curtains to the laundry shop for washing as they would be too heavy for our washing machine.

so if you're going to let the laundrywoman wash your clothes, is she going to handwash them or use the washing machine?
i remember you had chest pain during your father's bday celebration. it hasn't abated yet? do you plan to see a doctor about it?
@averygirl72 (38848)

She handwash and machine wash our clothes. My chest pain is gone now but I decided to stop washing my clothes even if the pain is gone now. I feel lazy now.

Nearly everyday. We use to do that since we are six in the house we have lots of dirty clothes. How many are you in the house? You have a washing machine?
@acelawrites (19272)

Yes, but it is easier when we bought an automatic washing machine; but sometimes am too lazy to gather the laundry and fold or iron them.
