The whole spit up on/peed on/pooped on thing made me more relaxed, once I got over the initial revulsion. I can even ignore crumbs on the floor for days at a time, whereas before kids I'd have been on my knees with a sponge as soon as I spotted them. (I have a thing about ant invasions, and I live in the middle of a giant ant hill.) <br /><br />I think the laundry is definitely a control issue, since babies are terrifyingly out of your control once they're born. You can't force them to eat more, or grow, or sleep on a schedule, but by gum, you can make sure they're dressed in clean little outfits with the matching mitts and socks, all laundered in everything-free soap. <br /><br />Do we get to see pictures of said matching outfits? Or are they clean so briefly that pictures are hopeless? Do you need more outfits, so that you can go longer without doing laundry?

Enjoy the food! Maybe it will make up for the laundry stress.<br /><br />-bmThe Beast Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614186892665439229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32419371.post-412461409641197092009-10-13T20:31:44.861-07:002009-10-13T20:31:44.861-07:00Nut!

Heh.<br /><br />But I understand what you mean -- I only leave my laundry in the hands of others if I am sanguine about the item's possible destruction/despoilation. (is that even a word?)<br /><br />And my sweetie's mom has said, "It's amazing how good food tastes when you don't have to cook or clean up after it!"
