To wish, but not to wash. You can call me lazy but one thing I have always hated is doing the laundry. My aunt sometimes says that she pities the man I am going to get married to. I have always hated having to wash clothes, I find it easy to get them dirty though! Haha..
I think my hatred for washing clothes sprang from when I was still a little girl in a boarding house, because prior to my admission, I wasn't the one who does the laundry. Mom did and she never taught me how to do my own laundry because the admission came rather unexpectly. As expected, I found it extremely difficult to do my laundry on the first week but I got help from some seniors, after washing my clothes for some weeks as a kind gesture to a newcomer, they taught me as per my request because I started feeling uncomfortable about them washing my clothes. Ever since, I have some my laundry myself up to now although on some occasions (which are more common now), I take them to the dry cleaner. When I was still in the boarding house, Sunday was the only free day so I wash my clothes during this day, the sad thing is that almost all the students then go their laundry on Sundays, making it difficult to obtain water and buckets to wash, this increased my hate for washing even more! I wash once in two weeks (with exception of undies) because of undies so whenever I make up my mind to wash (after a tough battle with my dislike for washing) I will definitely have a heap of clothes waiting for me. Sometimes I don't wash all of them, I just divide them in two, wash half the then leave the rest for the following week. This continued until I graduated from the boarding school. As a university student, I don't really wash much, besides with my washing routine I don't even have the time to wash clothes, even on Sundays! I take them to the dry cleaner to get the work done. Even if I don't have a penny on me, I would still take them to the dry cleaner to get the work done and pay him later when I have the money. I have even become his favourite customer. Today is my second Sunday at home ever since the strike, and I am supposed to wash today! I was supposed to wash in the morning but there had been shortage of water supply and even now, I had to purchase water from vendors to wash but the water isn't suited for washing because it's hard water😭😭. You wash only a three pairs of clothes and boom, a whole bar of soap and two sachets of detergent gone! Like magic! Not to talk of the unpleasant scum you see when washing with hard water....after this experience, I felt a whole new wave of hatred for washing sweep through me. Of course I surrendered and had to put back the clothes as if I am to continue with it, I am going to waste a whole lots of soap and detergent plus energy I should have chanelled into doing other things, and the clothes may not even be clean despite my efforts. So I am putting them back till further notice. I might wash them next week if things are right, or I might just decieve myself into believing that "not all of them are even dirty, besides I wore this pair only once". I am just going to eat and sleep now to get my energy back. If only I would just wake up and meet all of them done by some genie! I would be very happy while pressing them with a pressing iron while savoring and paying close attention to the patterns I make on the clothes whole I iron them. Happy Sunday Guys! Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for reading! Yours Layly, 😘❤❤😘

Ohh, take a proper rest now. I can feel your rain because I also hate washing clothes. Whenever I do laundry at my hostel then I do a rest for whole day.
That's a good tip haha. It exhausts you in such a way that you have no option than to just sleep.
Haha yes.
Have some rest dear. You need that.
Thanks Luci.
I never liked to do laundry but luckily I have a washing machine and it is my best friend. 😊 Every woman should have it because it is really a very hard job. And a completely boring and uninspiring. 😊
Hahaha guess I am not the only one who hates washing. Hmm.. Very uninspiring indeed.
Nawa oo, why would you be lazy in Washing your own clothes 😅😅 Well, since you have the money, kindly take them to your drycleaner instead of pending them till further notice. Lol
😂😂😂 My dry cleaner is out of town so I have no other option. I don't wanna give it to another because I am not that comfortable giving my clothes to everyone
Hehehe. Using clothes is easy but washing them is the problem. I like washing my own clothes though. In fact, I prefer to wash my clothes myself
Your own better oo. Yes there are people like that. Some people see that their clothes will never be clean enough if they give it to someone else to wash for them.
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's how I feel. And the other person might just wash it anyhow long as it is with soap and water
My dear friend, if you wash your clothes with a plan every few days, their amount will be less, and you can certainly wash them more easily and in less time. Although, like you, I usually put off doing my works, and the day comes when I have a lot of work to do and I can't do them.
That's a good strategy and I have tried it but couldn't keep up. Apart from being busy on weekdays, shortage of water is something we are still struggling with
Ahhm, maybe try to wash your dirty clothes every after 3 days to avoid pile of mountainuous clothes. That ismy washing schedule and will not drain my energy because I only wash lesser laundry, not like when I waited for weeks before I wash it.
That's good too. However we suffer from water shortage and me...i don't always have the inspiration to wash. 😂
