[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My elementary schooler is supposed to do their own laundry? I didn’t until college and I turned out just fine.[/quote]

Same. This thread is pretty fakey/tryhard.[/quote]

Laundry is so easy, though??

It's one of the easiest chores nowadays, if you have modern machines.

-Take your stuff (or everyone's) to the washing machine (probably don't even need to sort by color). May need to know what can't be put in machine.
-Put in detergent, press a button or two (learn which).
-Swing by in an hour and throw in dryer, press a button or two (learn which).
-Take out, bring to room, fold and put away

My youngest is now 11 but has been doing laundry since he was 7. We have a list of reminders posted near the machines with the basic steps and things not to forget.  The rule that my boys' friends think is hilarious and my boys think is normal is that BRAS do NOT go in the dryer!  When they are taught the basics at a young age they can do more than we think.
