Seasonal kids clothes admin
Suddenly it is Autumn and we are no longer able to dress the children in their summer clothes and thin pyjamas but where are their Autumn/Winter ones and how many still fit? Also how many clothes do I actually need for each child? I seem to have oodles thanks to the generosity of grandparents trawling charity shops for their little ones but too many stresses me out.
Presumably the answer lies in how often a family does a load of laundry (at least once a day for us) and how messy the kids are (puddles, mud pies, painting, mealtimes).
The trousers my kids wore yesterday are already washed, dried and folded. Tomorrow they will be put away so could actually get away with 2 pairs of trousers each, one extra pair for emergencies/spares.
Perhaps will pack away all but 4 or 5 tops and bottoms (skirts/dresses/trousers) for each of my children and see how I feel after a couple of weeks - less stressed due to having more room in drawers, less choise with what to wear or more hassled by the pressure to do a load of laundry?
We’ll see.
