That actually makes a lot of sense. Big family + small washer = daily washes. Sounds nice, actually.

But on the other hand: If you didn't have to wash everyone's towels every night, would you still have to do laundry daily?

Bigger washer/dryers are not necessarily more wasteful, for what it's worth... it really depends on their efficiency (both for water and dryer heat). Sometimes doing it in bulk all at once can save water/energy per item even if it uses more overall. And newer machines tend to be a lot more efficient than older ones, especially if they are load-sensing front-loaders. Anyway, that's not really the point.

It's just interesting that your laundry patterns are different than anyone I've ever known. Thanks for explaining, that's all :)
