[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really appreciated that my Mom did my laundry until I left for college (don’t worry, I figured it out quickly, it’s not hard).  My kids have lots of chores but their laundry isn’t one of them.  Honestly I feel like some kids, especially 8-13 year old boys would not even care about the consequences of wearing dirty clothes and you’d just be punishing every one around them by stinking.

Me too.  My mom never let us do laundry because she could not afford a new machine Id we broke it.  But it’s not like it’s a hard skill to acquire and I was used to having clean clothes so easily made the transition to washing them myself.  I’d worry that living in dirty clothes is just habituating them to that.  Like letting a puppy go in his own crate.  My kids do lots of chores including vacuuming the house and scrubbing their own showers and toilets. But I do the laundry because I don’t want them to smell and I don’t want my laundry filter clogged with candy wrappers and burst pens.  [/quote]
