How often do you do laundry? Just curious what works for your family
My habit is to let it build up until either M is all out of clothes or or my H runs out of underwear, then I take 1-2 days and do all of it at once. I prefer doing projects in chunks so doing a load a day has never appealed to me. Usually I end up having a laundry day every two weeks.

We do laundry every weekend. It's not usually a huge effort. My husband starts all the loads. Granted, there are only two of us. We do a load of whites, a load of jeans/shorts/workout clothes, a load of shirts/delicates, and a load of towels. We both fold/put away our own stuff and usually whoever has a minute does the towels.

I aim for the weekends. I do mine, the baby's, and the towels, my hubs prefers to do his own. I say aim because the washer/dryer is in the cellar (basement) and I hate going up and down the stairs, lol.

I prefer to do laundry when I'm on the last outfit/pair of underwear. My husband prefers there to never be anything dirty. He does laundry daily. I let him. It's rough though because I won't be done with something and he's already picked it up to wash.
Sunday is laundry day at our house. Occasionally we'll do a load or two during the week of one of us needs a specific item cleaned right away, but we always wash everything each weekend.
I wash certain things on a schedule, like sheets and towels once a week, etc. Other stuff I wash as needed, like socks, regular clothes, blankets. I tend to do a few loads a week rather than all on the same day.
I do one load of laundry a day. With DH's job, he goes through too many of his work pants. We have a washer that adjusts the water level to how much clothes are in there. It takes me about 10 minutes a night to fold. Now sheets.....I have it in my schedule to do it every week. But in reality it is more like every other...sometimes three.
I used to get away with doing one load of clothes every week, plus one load of towels every other week (and sheets as needed).
Nowadays I probably end up doing two or three loads a week, usually on the weekends, but sometimes during the week if H runs out of underwear or something.
I also do diaper laundry once every third day, but I assume that doesn't count.
I trrrrrrry to do it all on the weekends which ends up being usually 2-3 loads.
I was doing well but then life got crazy the last few weeks and I ended up getting down to my last pair of underwear. Cue huge all day laundry-a-thon in the melsa house.
I suck at folding. I have a huge basket of clean clothes that needs to be folded. It is on my to do list for today.
We do laundry once a week. We have to go to a laundry mat so it's usually on Mondays that we go. Luckily we are usually done within an hour/ hour and a half.
I tried talking our land lord into putting in pay as we go washers or pay an extra $50 to have a w/d but he won't. Even his wife tried.
We generally do the bulk of the laundry once a week (2-3 loads). If there's something that really needs to be washed, we'll do a load here or there during the week, but for the most part, things just wait until the weekend.
