On the surface yes, it’s weird. However, having had a washing machine breakdown, I discovered how much easier it was to go to the laundromat. I could use multiple machines at once (one for whites, coloureds, towels, bedding, knitwear etc), dry suitable items quicker in industrial sized machines, and get out of the place in 90 minutes having run up to six industrial sized machines at once, instead of juggling loads in my smaller machine at home for a whole weekend.
While I still prefer the convenience of doing my own washing at home…it’s MY home, so I can do smaller loads whenever I want. Kristine probably wouldn’t want to spend a whole day shut in with her daughter changing washing/dryer loads.
ETA: I had my own car that I could drive to the laundromat. ALR doesn’t have that convenience. I wonder if ALR has told mommy dearest that her dryer has been repaired to keep her coming to her rescue…or maybe she’s broken it again with her huge loads that only amount to 2-3 days of her washing.
