[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] +1. For the past couple years, I've been asking my now 6th and 8th graders to help with laundry. Please fold a load, please start a load. Gripe, moan, they forgot, they were busy and would later. It was like pulling teeth. Then I got sick the flu this winter and asked them to help out by running laundry. Which they didn't do. Straw that broke the camel's back. So now, they do their own laundry. Such an improvement. Occasionally, I'll run a load for one of them, or throw something they need the next day in with my laundry and they THANK ME. This time a year ago, there was grumbling because they wanted to wear such and such and it was dirty. I should have moved the responsibility to them a long time ago. [/quote] I think this only works if you have a child who cares about hygiene. If you have a slob, the natural consequence of no clean clothes... backfires.[/quote]
