[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 14 year old boy suddenly wanted to start washing his own sheets and PJs, often claiming that he spilled something on them.

DH went in there to have a casual conversation about puberty and growing up and changes bodies go through. He left a big box of tissues by the bed, and DS's laundry usage in the mornings have gone down.[/quote]

And that is about the crux of it.

I say when teens, male or female, begin leaving bodily fluids of certain types on the sheets or underwear then it's time for them to do their own laundry! Other moms know exactly what I'm talking about. And yes it's thr same for girls![/quote]

Exactly. EVERY mom here who does the laundry would be lying if she says she doesn't "observe" things and doesn't take "mental notes" based on the rather intimate act of doing the laundry.

I got my period when I was 13, and although I was enjoying certain activities nightly for about four years by then, the "evidence" of those activities, plus getting my period, got to the point where I decided it was high time to have more control over my privacy by doing my own laundry. Clothes, underwear, sheets, all of it.

When my roommates at college still went home every weekend to have mom do their laundry, I was like, "Ewww! How didn't start doing it yourself like five years ago?!?"  [/quote]
