Same here.  No sympathy for these women, it's always women
who say they do a load EVERY DAY.  It's her, her husband,
and one child and then complain how time consuming it is.

My mother also had a wringer washing machine and although
it beat a scrub board by leaps and bounds, it was still
quite a chore.  Laundry day, which was once a week, lasted
until mid-morning even though she'd start at 6:00 or 6:30
in the morning.
