[quote=Anonymous]The kids are old enough to be tasked with their laundry and cooking. No reason to still be doing everything. Show them how to run the laundry (if they don’t know) print of the directions and attach to the wall and let go. They will quickly learn how much or sucks to not have a specific shirt they needed. Give them the responsibility of feeing themselves a couple nights a week to start. They won’t die eating cereal or sandwiches and they might get bored and learn to cook. Let them buy lunch at school, if they don’t care. My mom worked 3-11 from the time I was 12. I taught myself how to cook tons of basic stuff and was expected to manage my laundry from that point forward. Totally reasonable expectations. Once they gain some independence, maybe that will leave you with some energy to start dating. [/quote]
