<\/p>\nPrior to marriage when I was living semi-alone in my Perth studio apartment, my laundry schedule was roughly about once every 7 days. The laundry machine I was using was one of those huge almost industrial sized ones that could wash up to 7-8 kg loads at a time.<\/p>\n
Now, after marriage and moving to The Rivervale, our laundry schedule was roughly about once every 4 days for the first 2 years. Ling had twice as much clothes to get through as I did, which is on account of the fact that it\u2019s humid in Singapore + classrooms in her school weren\u2019t air-conditioned. So she perspired a lot each day. She\u2019d occasionally grumble that my entire faculty \u2013 outside the lift lobbies and the common concourse level \u2013 is air-conditioned. All the tutorials rooms, labs, auditoriums, lecture theatres \u2013 heck even the corridors and the faculty canteen.<\/p>\n
One thing that\u2019s changed with Hannah coming into our family is the laundry we\u2019ve got to do now. The little tot goes through anywhere between two to four changes of clothes a day (you\u2019ve guessed it\u2026 it depends on the number of times she poos in both solid and liquid fashion, and if she merlions), and that\u2019s just the rompers, jammies and clothes she wears. There\u2019s an equivalent number of support materials, including waterpoof sheets, bed linen, napkins, nappy clothes, flannels, mittens, booties, bibs etc. that support the day to day operation of Baby Maintenance.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a picture of the amount of laundry Hannah goes through in 2 days\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 and that\u2019s not including the bed linen and waterpoof sheets that have to be washed on demand whenever Hannah does her \u2018thing\u2019. Our poor washing machine and dryer \u2013 which used to work once every 4 days \u2013 now has to work just about every day LOL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
