On the topic of separating clothes during laundry, I did that too. Home wear and 'outside' clothes to wash separately. Light colour dark colour 'outside' clothes wash separately. I also won't mix dh's clothing with mine. Separate load. Only kids' clothings I will mix together. Wash their home wear i...

Have you all thought what would happen should one of the PIL pass on and would the surviving one be able to continue to stay on his/her own or would you be left with no choice but to take turns to take care and live with him/her (more likely MILs live longer) MIL was taking care of BIL's children e...

I actually find working "outside" easier in some ways. As a SAHM, it's 24/7 and no limits!

If missed that ironing schedule or somehow run out of ironed uniforms by mid week then just wear un-ironed ones lor, so long uniforms are clean and fresh. No biggie if not ironed. K...
