Assistance With Laundry!!!!

I am in dire need or assistance with my laundry. I have a 9 month old and it is very hard juggling housework and running after the baby. I have pretty much let the laundry pile up way too high. I would hire someone to help but problem is I really don't have that kind of money to do so. So I was simply wondering if there is anybody out there who loves doing laundry and would be willing to help me out from the kindness of their own heart or perhaps for a very small fee. Thanks so much in advance for consideration.

Well, bitch, bitch, bitch. I'm deaf and because I can't hear normally, I need someone to help me vacuum. I mean, I can't hear the goddamn thing so how the fuck do I know if it's even running? Also, I wear glasses so I desperately need help picking my nose. I'm just so very worried that I'll accidentally knock my glasses off while doing that and I need someone who's more of an expert at it. Also, I live with nine cats and they just have so much hair. Can anyone, out of the kindness of their hearts, help me pet them? Well, I guess I'm a human being who made certain choices and now I can't manage my own stupid life any more, so someone... anyone... please step in and do the work I'm supposed to do myself. Thanks so much in advance for your consideration.
LMAO Your a HOOT moody_rants, LOL
I hear ya, & ITA.. That stupid moo.
Expects people to help her out without getting a decent paycheck? Who does she think she is?
LOL @ her stupidity.
Hmm.............I would think that someone with such an obsession for laundry that they would go into other people's homes and do the laundry for them, is probably someone I wouldn't let in my home. They might start scratching at the windows in the middle of the night, tears streaming down their faces, and begging, "Please! I promise not to starch! Just let me smell the Tide! Your whites will sparkle, I swear! Just let me in!"
Yeah, really.
Hey, that is a very cute avatar, TW. I can "bear"ly "bear" it!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To PrairieGirl.
To PG: OMG your humor is so similiar to my DH he would have said almost the same thing, LMAO
And don't forget.... "Please let me smell the Bounce"
"I need dryer sheets" I have to have them, please, no, I will be good, no, don't take me away, I have to have them, noooooo
arrrrgggggg," As they haul that laundry looney away, lol
To Moody_rants... Not to worry, My Bear Avatar will be gone by
May 1st

Not saying I would go do HER laundry for free...
but does the fact I rather enjoy doing laundry make me a sick fuck?
I had a friend who was clinically depressed. Until her meds kicked in, her laundry literally took over the entire basement floor.
I made a deal with her: I would do ALL the laundry if I got to keep whatever I found in the pockets. They always had $1 and $2 coins laying around so I knew I'd make some cash.
12 hours and
14 loads later, I made close to $30 and her husband realized he owned 20+ pairs of jeans and they didn't have enough dresser space to store all their clothes.
I refused to roll socks, though. Of all the laundry-related chores I hate, it's rolling socks.
You're really going to have to up the ante for that nose picking job, moody_rants!
Hmph... I wonder what on earth all those other mothers in the world are doing to get their laundry done.
Boo. Fucking. Hoo.
I like doing laundry (and like Fiona, I hate matching the socks), and would even do it for a friend in need, but this whiny bint needs to suck it the fuck up and just do her damn laundry, baby or no.
I don't mind doing laundry -- MY Laundry! I help out others, of course -- the ILs, my Dad -- if they need help. But there is something icky about touching other people's underwear. In fact, when we tried to help FIL (MIL was in the hospital) with laundry, he pulled his own underwear out of the pile, claiming they weren't that dirty, and he'd do them another day!!
Like PG, I also don't mind doing MY laundry...
If this woman can't do her laundry with one 9mo-old she has a problem. My mom had four freaking kids and managed to keep the clothes clean... geez.

Don't waste your time rolling them. Just pair them up and flip the top of one down over the other one.

Yeah, I'm kind of on the same page as Fiona here. I love doing laundry. My last job, just before this one, was doing wash and folds at a laundromat. I LOVED it. I loved everything about it. No, it didn't gross me out to touch other people's dirty laundry. It's how some people feel about doing dishes I guess. Some people like doing dishes. I don't. And I particularly hate other people's dishes. But I love doing laundry.
I think if a friend needed help getting on top of the mountains of laundry, I would be pleased to help. If the circumstances were right, I'd do strangers' laundry too. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed by a lot of it, as I didn't have a washing machine at home for the vast majority of my life, so lugging it all to the laundromat was always such a PITA. I couldn't even fathom having to do it for multiple people at the laundromat.
Hehehe, I'd email the OP in CL and tell her that if she found anyone, would she please send them my way! XD I hate doing laundry with every fiber of my being.
Which reminds me...
Damnit!

That's how I do my own socks...I hate pulling all those damn socks out of all the hiding places amongst the clean clothes, finding the matching one, etc. The actual flipping over the top is just the final step (in a process that I hate.)

Hehehe...DH and I just throw them all into the "sock drawer". We usually just dig around until we find two that match.
Wow. How in the hell did my mom do it? Or my grandmother out on the farm with FIVE boys on top of all her farm chores?
Heck, when I did nanny work for a baby about that old and an 8YO, I was able to do two loads of laundry a week for the family. (Granted it was towels or sheets normally) That is what nap time is for. Or just put them in the car carrier and sit them on the washer to let the vibrations put them them to sleep.
Esh.
What's next with today's spoiled, whiny moos?
"I have a kyyyd, someone come wipe my ass for me after I do #2. It's just sooo haaard with a chyyld you know, I deserve someone to wipe my ass for me."

I wonder how much hate mail she's recieved since posting that from other people in her situation that handle their laundry just fine. And also, how much sympathy mail she's gotten from other MOO's who offered their emotional support to her because they're stuck in the same situation.

I wonder how she has time to get on the computer and type out a silly request when she has to "chase" the 9 month old around.
You have time to turn on the computer, you have time to toss in a load of laundry (it isn't like you are out beating it against rocks in the river.)
Chase a 9 month old... Two words for you "Play Pen" or another two words "Baby Gate". :eyeroll:
