What I want to know is, how did my mother do it with
eight kids
a ringer washing machine
and a bag of clothes pins?

It seems I never finish doing laundry. I did 5 loads yesterday.
I remember my mom having a ringer washing machine when I was little. Me and my younger sister were sitting on top of the machine and somehow we got my sister’s arm hung in between the ringer…oouch. I think we were 5 and 3. The things you remember.
I hope you are doing well. Blessings to you.
I think they had fewer clothes.
And did more laundry.
Did they not wear their clothes more? I sometimes think we change too often, when there isn’t really a need for it.
Mom used a ringer washing machine and often complained about all the laundry she had to do. And yet, she was upset if we tried to wear the same shirt two days in a row to school. My guess is that moms haven’t changed much over the years…just have a few more gray hairs.
I remember my mom doing laundry with the wringer washer and soaking things in fleecy in a separate plastic tub and putting it through the wringer again. And she too hung everything outside even in winter. I don’t know how she did it all.
