I'd sure consider a coin-op laundry a big improvement over a washboard in the kitchen sink!
Front-Ranger:
I would too, especially with two toddlers in diapers and a husband who wiped his bloody nose on his sleeve and his wet hands on his pants! Not to mention the pillow/sheets.

How do you warsh sheets without a warshing machine? ???
Must need a big warsh tub. :(

I was trying to keep myself from inquiring about how you seemed to spend a big chunk of your weekend doing laundry, and now I find out that it's your time to socialize with your folks as well. So, that is a very good use of your time. Me, I toss a mixed load into the washer and do other things while it does its thing. It has a buzzer which tells me when to transfer the clothes into the dryer, which takes about a half a minute. Then, another buzzer tells me when to retrieve the clothes and put them into my closet and dresser. Time spent: maybe 15 minutes, altogether, once every two weeks.

Hiya Lee.
When it comes to my laundry, it seems to be a situation of 'six of one, half-dozen of the other'.
If I opt to do my laundry at home, it costs me $10.00, but I'm home, so I can get stuff done around the apartment.
If I opt to visit my parents, the laundry is done for free, however, I'm away from home, so anything I need to do must wait until I get back home.
Jeff Wrangler:
If I should ever decide to move to a new home (except maybe an old folks' home), lack of my own washer and dryer will be a deal breaker. I've lived too long with the convenience of my own washer and dryer to go back to having to share laundry equipment.
