[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am packing for a 3day trip[/b] and cleaning the house. Starting to get overwhelmed, but just keep plugging along. The house doesn’t need to be perfect, but I want to catch up 100% on laundry so we can get wash many loads when we get back.

My daughter wants an $80 dress for the trip. I might say yes, but DH isn’t happy with her getting a larger share of the family clothing budget. I get it. She’s 13, things are costing more, and clothes are getting important. But I’m with DH, she has had more than a fair share.

I want help, she wants a dress. &lt;—I see a solution with some earning potential from me.

What’s a reasonable amount of helpful cleaning or packing to earn the dress? I don’t really want to make it easy, but I don’t want to make it so hard that she fails (or fails right before it is the last time we can buy it).[/quote]

How much laundry could result from a 3 day trip?!  I routinely don't do laundry for more than 3 days anyway[/quote]

For 5 people. It will be sandy. Outfit changes, a lot at once. When we get back, I want to be able to work on it (not work on last week’s).

I’m only responding because I find it strange that anyone would question wanting to get laundry done before a trip. Added benefit of not finding out that we wanted to bring something that is dirty in a laundry bin.[/quote]
