[quote=Anonymous]I'm always looking for ways to streamline things like this and decrease any stress associated with an activity. I only have two kids (boys, ages 9 and 13). I have one that breaks or loses water bottles several times a year, so I bought extras. I got the exact same kind for each kid, just different colors. Dishwasher safe is a must for water bottles. Nothing extra like a straw or flip spout that could make cleaning it harder. When the kids come home they must empty their lunchboxes and water bottles into the sink. If I packed a thermos or similar, that has to be filled with soap/water and either put in the sink or on the counter near the sink. Short of needing to go to the bathroom or wash their hands, nothing else gets done before they empty their lunchboxes. My kids know that this needs to be done and it will not be left for me/DH or they will not get a packed lunch the next day and/or a water bottle. I try to get them to finish any water left in the bottle, but if not I water our plants.[/quote]
