[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised to discover that I seem to be one of the few parents who doesn't do her son's laundry.

Sometimes if he is busy, I might, but sometimes we ask him to run a load of our stuff, as well.

My son has been doing his own since 5th grade.[/quote]

+1. For the past couple years, I've been asking my now 6th and 8th graders to help with laundry. Please fold a load, please start a load. Gripe, moan, they forgot, they were busy and would later. It was like pulling teeth. Then I got sick the flu this winter and asked them to help out by running laundry.  Which they didn't do.  Straw that broke the camel's back. So now, they do their own laundry. Such an improvement. Occasionally, I'll run a load for one of them, or throw something they need the next day in with my laundry and they THANK ME. This time a year ago, there was grumbling because they wanted to wear such and such and it was dirty.  I should have moved the responsibility to them a long time ago. [/quote]
