[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, OK thanks for the advice.
Sometimes he is plain lazy and puts things off.

One more question-would you have a set day of the week to have him do it on and then enforce it?
Thats what I was thinking but it sounds like you guys think I should just leave it be for him to handle.

He is quite an immature kid and has ADHD.

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.
He wont replace his toilet paper roll unless reminded. (He has his own washroom). Laziness or normal?[/quote]

Lazy [i]and[/i] normal!

Our 15yo and 13yo (boys) do their own laundry, and have for 2 years now. Yes, they leave it til the last minute. Yes, they've had to wear dirty clothes, but that happened only a couple of times after which they came straight home and did laundry. I don't even keep track anymore-it's totally their responsibility.[/quote]

+1 to the lazy AND normal.  My husband is 36 and still does all those things.  He actually does the laundry more often than not in our house, but the fact that he considers a load to be "done" when it is stuffed into a laundry basket or piled onto the sofa in the basement, unfolded and completely wrinkled, is becoming a bone of contention in our house.

But I digress.  We all started having to do our own laundry as kids once we started caring about what was clean and when.  That was around 12 for me and my sister, around 14 for my brother.[/quote]
