[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the obsession some parents of younger kids about the laundry. If your 8 yr old does laundry, fine, but I agree that i[b]t's not a life skill that must be mastered before college.[/b] I didn't want kids in the laundry room (except for drop off and pick up).  When they visit home from college, it's with clean clothes, so I know they've figured out the laundry thing. [/quote]

My roommate in college (and most of the girls in my dorm) had to be taught by the RAs how to do their laundry.  Who sends their kid to college and doesn't teach them this?  Anyway, many of them missed the part about sorting white clothes from non-white clothes and that it was important to read the tag.  They ended up with very expensive clothing shrunk down to doll size and white clothes stained with all kinds of colors.  I guess they just threw everything in together.  I bet they wanted more spending money too b/c they ruined their clothes.  If I wanted money to spend, I got a job.  I babysat all through college and worked as a summer nanny.  I used the money for books, car insurance, gas and spending money.  I wouldn't give my kid spending money in college.  That's what jobs are for![/quote]
Well I guesss that proves that my college kids are geniuses. They could follow the directions posted on every college dorm washer and dryer. And no clothes were ruined. I'm so proud. [/quote]
