[quote=Anonymous]I bought all two-legged offspring in our family a "graduation" gift when they left elementary school: their own personal laundry basket! :) They all managed to do their laundry, as needed, after that. They needed to be reminded to change their sheets weekly, but they were responsible for their sheets too. Sunday afternoon was popular, so the laundry baskets would start filling up the laundry area since we only had one washer and dryer. (you would think that they would plan ahead, but nope). They liked having control over their own clothes. I cringed sometimes when I saw them tossing delicates in with their sports clothes, etc. And some of them never got the hang of separating lights and darks. More than one sweater was shrunk. But they all left home able to do their laundry, and function in that little way. Now... if I had only started earlier on some other things like cleaning bathrooms (which they don't do weekly)....[/quote]
