Mum branded 'lazy' for her timesaving laundry trick she thinks is genius

A mum-of-four has come up with what she considers to be a "genius" hack when dealing with her family's laundry.

Faced with her kid's various piles of washing, the enterprising mother has come up with an intricate system of baskets to make her life easier. But while she boasts of the benefits, others have branded her "lazy".

The Mirror reports how Tiffany, from the US, deploys four separate laundry baskets for each of her children. This means she can sidestep the hassle of sorting through clothes when they come out of the tumble dryer as she just pops them into the corresponding container for each child.

A further crucial timesaving step is she never folds her laundry. Instead, Tiffany simply takes one full basket up to each child's room, putting the piles straight onto shelves before "moving on with her life".

In a TikTok video shared to her @tiffanyajlee account, she said: "Alright so, I was called lazy for doing this, but I think it's genius. As you can see, I have bins behind me. Each bin is a different person in my family.

"I don't fold [the clothes] I just take the items directly out of the dryer and pop them in the bins. Then, I bring it up to their room, but it in more baskets that are in cube shelves - without folding them - and move on with my life."

Commenters on the post were split, as some said they couldn't get past the idea of their clothes having "wrinkles" in them from not being folded correctly.

One person said: "The wrinkles and amount of energy and time it takes to fluff them in the dryer is not worth this. I love doing laundry though."

While another added: "I couldn't do it, I'm already having nightmares about the wrinkles."

But others agreed with Tiffany that the time-saving trick was worth it, as they described laundry as "overwhelming" and said any hack to make it less stressful was "genius".

Someone said: "I don't even make it that far! Laundry is way overwhelming. I have clothes that I've never seen before in my life that just appear out of nowhere."

As someone else noted: "Yes!! I don't fold laundry either, girl! Too many times I've watched the kids unfold it all after I've folded ... Ain't nobody got time for that!"

"Haters going to hate but this is genius," a third added.
