Perhaps we could design a proximity alarm with laser.

That is rather clever, Gravdigr! She'd be far more interested in climbing on it than trying to get what's underneath. I will try that next time.

I don't think you should be worrying too much about not folding the washing Clod. It's clear that you're very busy all the time, so something has got to give. I doubt I'd bother picking it up after the first time if I were in your shoes, particularly if I knew the child who might be stomping on it was reasonably cleanish.

For the record, I've gotten a lot less fastidious about household chores with Max and the two teenagers (and the multitude of friends that hang around these days). I had to let some things slide or I'd have done myself some real harm due to the personal challenges I was trying to overcome at the time. Anyway, worrying about the washing was the first thing to go. As long as I could get it washed and dried, that was the main thing. Sorting and folding ended up at the end of the list, and if it got knocked onto the floor (as it did often) I just ignored it till I had the time and energy to deal with it.

It's no big deal, and it doesn't make you a slob. Not even a little bit.

Some other suggestions:

Leave the clothing on the floor. Put up a sign declaring the room to be a walk-in floordrobe.

Empty the basket. Put the Creature in question under the inverted basket, with a heavy weight on top. This will have many immediate benefits.

I have no problem with Zero.

I lol'd @ floordrobe! I have one of those!

Me too. :blush:

I'm an unmade bed of a woman!

Another elegant solution, only where would you keep the sharks that the lasers need to be attached to?

Floordrobe is full of win!

Permission to use, please? Is it floordrobe©?

HAHahahaa, I didn't have one of those available for cut and paste.

Is it different?

What you really need is one of these:
