[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop being ocd. Give the kids play clothes that can have stains. Teach your older kids to get out their own strains. Teach your younger kids to be neater.[/quote]

"Give them play clothes" but "teach them to be neater"

How about we let them be kids with the clothes they have but take care of them so clothes can be worn longer or passed on to other kids?  There's nothing wrong with wanting to have stain-free clothes, which is both less wasteful and less costly in the long run.  OP is working on "teaching older kids to get out their own stains," as referenced in the original post. [/quote]

Simmer down, OP. You can give a kid 2-3 sets of play clothes, usually old clothes you’d probably give away, that you wear until they are so gross nobody would want them anyway. I’m sure Goodwill won’t miss a few used kids outfits. You simultaneously teach them to be neat in their regular clothes so you have less laundry. And your young kids can do that too, certainly you can teach them to use spray and wash or change clothes and put the dirty ones directly into the wash. That alone makes them more cognizant of the fact that they might get dirty and thus be more careful in their clothes.[/quote]
