Sue Radford has said she feels like ‘Cinderella’ while clearing up after her children.
The mum-of-22 admitted to doing 40 tonnes of laundry a year, with her teenagers creating the most mess.
Speaking on the last episode of 22 Kids and Counting on Monday evening, Sue said: “Recently everything is upside down and it’s really driving me crazy.
“What is it with teenagers getting dressed and changed a few times a day their clothes aren’t even dirty and they just shove them in the wash?
“I feel like I am definitely outnumbered with the teens, there is a lot of them in the house.
“They are just so lazy, they don’t do anything, nothing to help.

“I feel like Cinderella. I just need to get out. Hopefully when I get back it’ll all be done. I resign, get me out of here!”
Despite investing in an 18kg industrial-sized washing machine for the basement of her 10 bed home, Sue can still end up doing six loads a day.
She said: "If I could say the one thing that really does drive me insane in this house, it’s got to be the laundry.
“An average day, I can be doing four to five loads of washing. It's never-ending."
