[quote=Anonymous][b]"HE leaves his bath towel on his bathroom floor every day. He puts his clothes on the floor beside the hamper, instead of IN THE hamper.

If my brothers and my kids are any indication, totally normal.  Lazy?  Maybe, but normal.  As to laundry, personally, I don't think it's unreasonable to wash your clothes after one wearing.  It's better than the opposite - doing laundry for your teenager and only finding three pair of underwear for a week.  But, if it bothers you, it's fine to have him do his own laundry.  I think it would be awful to have to do it on a schedule though.  You are totally setting yourself up to fight with him and for him to fail.  If it were me (and laundry is one of the few things I have not transferred over to my kids yet - they take care of the entire rest of the house, including the outside), I'd let him know when I planned on using the washer and dryer and that it's off limits to him during those times.
