I agree, I don't think it's so

If you click on the little number next to "response" you will see I replying to one of the leaders of your other little group.

No, I checked that first, just to be sure.

Here's a screenshot of Post #1063, the post in which you replied to yourself.

As you can see, this post, the one in which you replied to yourself and about which I asked you, is in direct response to Post #1060.

And here is a screenshot of Post #1060. Which you wrote.

And you'll notice that a statement from Post #1060 is now apparently quite offensive to you. Which, as I said, is really confusing because you wrote that statement in response to talbotslover.

Obviously no explanation will be forthcoming from you, what with your very public declaration about how you're ignoring me. But since I'm not ignoring you, I thought I'd answer anyway.

I'm so glad someone else admitted to that! I was feeling a bit guilty about the whole laundry thing....

Ah, no that's not the point, the point is I wouldn't find myself doing laundry at 2am if I used 50 hours of daycare.

LOL, I have zero guilt. Dh is not the housekeeping type, so we decided early in our marriage that a cleaning lady who did laundry and ironing would go to the top of the priority list.

I thought you said your husband does the laundry anyway. When does he do it?

Speaking as someone who, back in the day, used daycare far in excess of 50 hours a week (but only Monday through Friday), I have never EVER done laundry at 2am. Never needed to.

Heck the only times I've done laundry at that hour was in the years before my son was born and since he's grown up. Before I did it then because it was easiest to get a washer and dryer in the barracks during the wee hours. And since then because I work night shift so even when I'm home on the weekends, I usually wake around 3am (I get hungry; that's when I normally eat lunch). So as long as I'm already up, I get the laundry started then on Sundays. That way, unless I forget I'm doing it, which I've been known to do, I can get it all done and put away by 8am and then I'm set for the week and don't have to mess with it on Monday mornings, when I have other errands to run before the work week starts.

But when John was a baby, we were limited to the base laundromat hours and they simply weren't even open at 2am. And once I moved back to the States and had an apartment with a washer and dryer in the unit, I'd toss a load of laundry in the wash when I woke up in the morning and it would be done before we left work. Then I'd either toss it into the dryer (yeah, PKA, I know, I know, fire hazard, but I did it anyway) before we left or when I got home and as one tiny quick thing to get out of the way before I started dinner. Then I could fold and put away after dinner.

Laundry is about the easiest task to multi-task that there is.
