I am from Canada and I have handwashed my clothes in the bathtub

including sheets and towels when I was broke. You are not a

loser. You are going through tough times and everyone does sometime in their life. One day you will look back on this time and smile. I still handwash my underwear bras stockings etc. Also

dishcloths and towels as I like to bleach them. I air dry everything too

Good luck to you and God bless. Your good times are coming.

I used to use a scrub board and wash my clothes in the bath tub.  It was fine for me and made me feel good.  Worked off a lot of frustration that way.   lol.

Answer 10

Yes, I do handwash some things.  Especially my lingerie and swimwear.  I live in the U.S., too.

You're not a loser. Look at it this way, give thanks that you have clothes to wash and the strength to wash them.  I don't mean that like I'm trying to shame you for feeling the way you do.  I just mean that seeing it that way might help you not feel so discouraged.  I try to see my household chores that way.  I'm not always successful in that mindset, but I try  :)
