[quote=Anonymous]My teen kids don't do laundry. I'm sorry about it but I've got a billion other things to worry about and I'm not going to fight this particular fight. I don't have a maid, and I do laundry for everyone in the family. One was going off to camp a week ago, so suddenly she was receptive to learning it. If I could do it over again, I would have taught them when they were very little and kept it going. I didn't because I was trying to be efficient and get it done while they napped. I figured I could teach them when they were more coordinated, but I failed to see that waiting that long ages them out of that developmental place where they want to learn and want to help. But having missed that window, I'm not going to pound it into them now; I am going to wait until just before they leave for college when they see a need to learn it.[/quote]
