Moms and dads sounded off in the comments section. Many were concerned about clothes becoming wrinkled, though Bavis said she tries not to buy items that wrinkle easily.

Video: Mom's no-fold laundry hack divides parents on TikTok

Naysayers called the idea \"lazy,\" and those who praised Bavis said her no-fold hack was \"genius.\"

\"One of my favorites that made me laugh was, 'We can do that? Why did no one tell me!'\" Bavis said. \"It is almost like this video gave parents permission to let go of the laundry stress.\"

Bavis said she decided to leave her job outside the home after her son was diagnosed with autism so he can receive in-home services.

She now shares her love for kids' decor, toys and hacks on Instagram and TikTok.
