[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you have to go onto an online forum to ask these insipid questions both you and your DC are headed back to shirtsleeves.  You're strictly Middle Management.

It was never about getting the laundry done it was about appearances.  Think.    [/quote]

Were you drunk when you posted this?

I am not interested in your judgement of my decision; I only wanted input on logistics.

My "Middle Management" job is based in Europe, so yes, I am very anxious about sending my child to the US alone for college, but you know what?  We aren't paying any tuition and I am so proud of him for achieving this that I do not think spoiling him on this one thing will ruin him.  Also, my British DH attended Oxford, where someone actually cleans each student's room AND bathroom for the student each day, and so he has a different perspective on the laundry thing at school: he expects DS to continue to be an academic achiever and an honorable person who treats others well, and does not care overly much about laundry.  DH was not ruined by his university's cleaning policy, and he is tidy enough now, so I am sure it will be fine for DS to be indulged in this one treat.  Forgive me for asking an "insipid question" about my child's college living logistics on this parenting forum; I am "headed back to shirtsleeves" now.  Whatever that means.[/quote]
