given your kids clothing from the hamper to wear...

My five year old son refuses to wear short sleeves. This morning I had no more long sleeve shirts as they were all in the hamper and I figured fine he'd have to just give in and wear short. Well he was crying bitterly that "short sleeves is so boring, I only want long" and the bus was coming in five minutes so in front of him I just pulled a long sleeve shirt out from the top of hamper (not noticably dirty) and he happily put it on and went to school.....

Those dang uniform jumpers. So expensive so I only buy a few, and I'm soo tired that I forget to wash...

As rarely as possible but I think most people can relate to that moment when a child NEEEEEEDS that specific item that happens to be in the hamper... hopefully on top and not too dirty.

I have separate hampers for different types of wash and just now realized that makes it a little more acceptable, because the favorite dress is not going to be stewing in used underwear anyway.

Yes, I have... a shell, socks, maybe a pair of pants on occasion... it’s the kind of thing you don’t talk about! Since we are not reusing obviously dirty/ smelly things no one will ever know..

I've recently done it for myself with a pair of tights.
I found myself in the morning without any, and I took the one from the day before. Felt eeeew.
But sometimes ya have no other option..

I would do it for myself in a pinch. (An outer garment, not socks or underwear.) Don’t tell anyone.
