[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see how it's efficient to have everyone do their own laundry - in our 4 person household, I do 4-5 loads of clothes per week (1 whites, 1 delicates, 2-3 colors) - we'd need a lot more clothes if everyone individually amassed enough dirty laundry to run their own load(s)! I do have my newly-10 year old stripping her bed and putting the sheets in the wash every weekend. My 4 year old likes to help move clothes from the washer to the dryer. And I don't fold/put away clothes - everyone gets a pile of clean stuff on their bed to put away.[/quote]

This is the tween and teen forum. You of course don’t think it’s efficient when your kids are 10 and 4. Most of us here actually have tweens and teens who need to be doing this as they’re imminently approaching leaving the nest. This is like me going to the elementary forum and chiding parents for still packing their kids’ lunch for them or something. The forums are separate because the ages are relevant to these convos.

I have a teen and I don't think its efficient.  We all do each other as needed.  And, I made my kids lunches too as I was making ours.  I find it weird doing nothing for your kids especially if they are extremely busy between school and activities.[/quote]

I did the same.  My kids are young adults and doing great.  One is a way more adept chef than I am!  Every family should do what works for them.[/quote]
