Surely a small amount of effort every day is better than a monthly emergency and panic... right brain? Right?

Every day? How often are you changing clothes?
Some of us are parents. Laundry never stops.
As a parent, we still do laundry once per week. Usually 2-3 loads. OP is insane for doing daily laundry...it's a huge waist of water
And electricity. And detergent.
There are five people in my house. Each generates one full load of laundry every week or so. That's two sets of PJs, four pairs of pants, seven tops, seven pairs each of underwear and socks, and a bath towel.
Add in bed linens, kitchen towels, and throw rugs, and 6-7 loads a week is not excessive. I don't do laundry every day; I prefer to do a few loads at a time twice a week. But with a high-efficiency washer it's not even that much water, and they are all full loads so it's not "wasted" anyway.
Y'all aren't poor enough.
That needs to be 1-2 pairs of pants a week. 1 towel a week. 5 shirts a week. 14 socks, 3 underwear. You never do beds until you see clear oil stains.
Toddlers? Unless they're clearly dirty, they're clean lol.
For me I change my jeans maybe once every 4 to 7 days lol
Jeans are actually only supposed to be washed that often. They did say pants though, which could be very different. Especially if they're wearing jeggings riding up their ass so hard that it's doing half their wiping.
I can't tell if this comment is serious or not because there's a mix of stuff in it, but I've gotta ask: only 3 underwear??
1 every other day and 1 that takes 3 days because you forgot and haven't showered in 4.
I've been there, I get it, but yeah, I'm not that broke anymore. My kids need clean uniforms for school and I need a clean uniform for work.
Beds once a week. Towels use at least two in a week per person.
If it's just you، no worries, but if you have two or three kids it's not unreasonable.
