It's something that takes 15 minutes of work once a week. The rest happens in the background without your involvement.

Negligible benefits.

And the machine takes space in small European flats.

Single spotted. With kids, you're doing laundry every day.
I am married. No kids tho.

But I was a kid, and we only did laundry on saturdays. What's the point of doing it daily? Do you not have 7 sets of clothes for everybody?

It’s hard with little kids. Do you leave clothes covered in spills and accidents for 7 days?

Kid wets the bed? You’re washing bedding.

Drink on the couch? In go the pillows and cushion covers.

to be fair, this occurs during a short period. an 8 year old won’t be pissing their bed every week for example, or blowing out their diaper. Dryer is a godsend during those early years though!
Maybe, maybe not. You get what you get with kids.

My 7 year old just had an accident today.

I don’t really remember potty training my oldest, it just kind of happened one day. He’s never even wet the bed.

My youngest? Well, I’m confident he’ll have it figured out before high school.
