"My son will be in X dorm.  Who cleans the bathrooms?  It has been a heated debate in our house about whether or not to bring cleaning supplies!" [/quote]

I wonder if Snowflake even knows how to clean a bathroom.

I spent the second week of college teaching other kids how to operate washing machines and dryers.  I had been responsible for my own laundry since I was 11, and I was shocked that a parent would send their kid to college without teaching them such a basic skill.  I wondered how someone could get to be 18 and not know this.[/quote]
Maybe because other families are different from yours? Sure, yours may be better.  But it's different.   [/quote]

Yea, all families are different.  My mom never taught me how to use one, either.  I learned it on my own. It's called reading the instructions on the machine lid.  My mom also never taught me how to cook.  I finally had to learn at 40 when I decided to take a little bit of time off to be a stay at home mom. We all learn these things eventually, but it would've a lot easier if my parents taught me some basic life skills when I was younger.  I plan on teaching my kids how to do their laundry and cook way before they leave home for college.[/quote]
