[quote=Anonymous]Start basic - My kids have been doing laundry since they were toddlers. I lined up 6 laundry baskets for the "laundry train" - there was a white car, red car, blue car, brown car, underwear car and work clothes car. The kids would take turn driving the train and crawling through the baskets. laundry was a game, but now at age 13 & 9 - I send them to the basement to sort and it's done. (I still start & load the washer as a double check, and the new washer is only a few month old. I'm slowly telling them about setting). You'll need to start simple and keep it fun. It will be quicker for you to do it yourself, but that is not the point. It took us an hour to sort laundry years ago, but they can do it now. They should be able to clear and set the table, sweep under the table, feed the pets, keep laundry and wet towels off the floor.[/quote]
