I agree! It is so annoying to be a stay-at-home mom and be forced to do laundry during family time in the evenings. I either do some in the late evening and (as already posted) have my husband take it out of the dryer for me to fold the next day. Or, I have a time delay on my washer so I set it to run early in the morning and then I pop it all into the dryer and it's done before 9 or 10am. But that's one load every morning which is soooooo annoying!
But I also use cloth diapers and I have to say the diapers are done during the day because I need them and can't always wait until the evenings. I also give in when we have busy weekends and I will do all the laundry on a week day regardless of the cost. I feel terrible sometimes but then I consider that I run the dishwasher overnight and don't have the lights on during the day so I generally break even. When I look at my bill, I am almost exactly even with the mid/high time periods, and I see that I still use most of the energy during the low times, so I'm satisfied.
