It doesn’t have to go away. Just don’t let the mountain become taller than you…
Do a load every day or two – depending on family size and laundry volume. Don’t put the next load in to wash before the first is folded and put away. Or at the latest don’t take the next load out of the dryer before the first load is cleared out – so only one clean load in the basket at a time. Small loads are much more manageable and won’t stress you out as much. If you somehow do end up with a mountain of laundry to fold, talk on the phone or better yet listen to a light shiur or story while you tackle it.
And then come the 9 days, long Yomim Tovim, pre-Pesach laundry — these are the true laundry nightmares. But then again, easy does it.
Good luck!
