So many great points here! Can I plunge my own laundry? Yes! But why in the heck would I choose drudgery if I have the LUXURY of somehow/someway using a washing machine! Some women CHOOSE to do it by hand- for me, this is only something I do for a season while I wait for the opportunity to open up to have a washer again. That time has taken 6 months before. I learned a lot in that time. There’s still times when my washer breaks and Im out there plunging, these are times of enduring patience and the meals are thrown together and easy because if I’m schooling, cleaning, AND PLUNGING, WRINGING AND HANGING- I’m not doing much fancy cooking! There have been days when I cried outside because I felt inadequate that I CANT do it all. Then I remembered, kids used to be sent to a one room schoolhouse- I do the schooling. So I have many jobs in retrospect. A laundress had one of the most back breaking, exhausting professions. Facts. Easy on yourselves, Mamas! You’re doing great! 🤍

Absolutely. It’s easy to think we have to do it all, but we forget that even the women who had to do the washing for their families in the good ol’ days would have ALSO chosen to use a washing machine if they had one available to them.

At first I was really curious how you had so little laundry in that bucket with so many littles 😂. Thanks for showing off grid living from a balanced perspective. It encourages me!
