[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I understood why you said that but my point (in part) was that, in lots of cases other than laundry, colleges have staff that do the kinds of labor many families expect kids to do at home. Household chores typically (or at least often) represent contributions to the collective good rather than every individual doing everything for him/herself. When the size and nature of the collectivity involved changes, contributing $ substitutes for contributing labor to support the overhead associated with daily living. If we don't find that objectionable in general, why make such a big deal about laundry? Face it, kids aren't pulling their weight wrt domestic labor in college -- there are lots of people serving/cleaning up after them. [/quote]
