[quote=Anonymous]Well, I’m not particularly intense about how I do chores so I’m not super intense with my kid either. I also have a child with profound disabilities that is incapable of living without 24/7 care so being uptight about laundry or the dishwasher just isn’t my style. My husband does all our laundry and mixes colors and whites and that has basically never been an actual problem in 20 years. I do think some socks turned pink once and we just bought new socks.

The truth is that my 13 year old is honestly too busy most days of the week to do many chores. But she knows how to do stuff and can always watch a video as an adult if she needs to. I’m not worried she will be living in squalor as a 35 year old. School is hard for her so she spends a lot of time on homework and does a lot of EC stuff she loves. I’m not pulling her away from either of those to lecture her on which way to put the forks in the dishwasher. Although using a coaster is a hill to die on for me, so she and my hsuband both hear about that.[/quote]
