[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 11 and 13 and have never done their own laundry. I thought this was normal, but over in another thread, most commenters are saying their kids have done their own laundry since they were tweens/teens. For context, I don't mind -- I telework and it's easy to throw some laundry in over the course of the day. As housework goes, I don't hate it. Also, I never did my own laundry as a kid. I had other chores but my parents did my laundry for me until I went to college. Do most kids transition to doing their own laundry at some point while still living at home?[/quote]

My kids have been doing their laundry since about 9-10.  Extra points - we don’t own a washer /dryer, they have been using the laundry in our building.

But you are not alone- as reported by my middle child, lots of freshmen in her dorm were really stumped by the process.  Like how do you remember to do it unless you find out you don’t have clean underwear and what do you do if all machines are occupied at that moment and you have a class in two hours?[/quote]

You skip class.[/quote]
