[quote=Anonymous]I have boy/girl twins. My daughter has always been neat and organized. Cleaning the kitchen - no problem, setting the table - no problem, doing the laundry, homework, cleaning her room - no problem. My son always needed more help. We asked the kids to alternate days to do chores. Otherwise, my daughter would just do everything. As for packing, I pack things *I* want my kids to wear. If it's a special occasion, I will make sure they have the outfits that I bought for them. But I let my kids pack the rest. I do give them (read my son) prompts of the general categories of "must haves," such as socks, underwear, toothbrush, etc. The rest, I decided to let go. One time, my son only packed one t-shirt (and one rash guard), so he had to do laundry every day. He never made this mistake again. Will he ever be able to pack a suitcase the same way I would have packed it? Probably not in the foreseeable future. And that's ok with me.[/quote]
