I have suffered with fms & fatigue for the past 4 years and I found a great way to doing my laundry pain free! I have 3 grandchildren aged 2,3 & 4,they love doing my laundry as we make a game out of it and they are learning at the same time,they start by picking up the items one at a time out of my basket and placing them into piles of coloreds & whites,then they enjoy filling the washer up and we switch it on! They also carry my basket to and from the washing machine to the tumble dryer,all I have to do is sit there and give instructions!
the kids really enjoy doing nannies laundry
That is the best kind of help!!! I do the same thing..the kids love getting a few dollars for chores..For me, it’s worth so much more.
