[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just comment on the "teaching kids to do laundry" nonsense? I'm 51.  I've been married for 29 years. I've been mom for 27 years. All five of my kids are grown.  I did all the laundry in our home, to include folding and putting it away.  The summer before my kids left for college, I showed them how to do laundry.  Maybe my children are just especially brilliant??? But they picked up this skill very quickly.  If your kids need more than about 15 minutes to learn to do laundry, they should probably reconsider leaving home.  This is not a skill that requires much time to master. [/quote]

I taught my ten year old to do her laundry last year. I wouldn't trust her to treat special clothing, but she can manage her standard wardrobe. College age? lol[/quote]

My 10yo does her own laundry half of the time. My 8yo is an active participant.

I started doing my own laundry when I was 9 years old too.  My mother helped me for a bit, but then I was on my own.  So if I needed a clean sports uniform, I needed to wash it myself.  Or I wore it stinky.  You learn quickly.

PP, I can't believe you waited until they were leaving for college!  I saw kids getting tutorials in the dorm laundry and couldn't believe it since I'd always done my own.

Smartest move my mom made was retiring from laundry.[/quote]
