[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these people saying their kids can do laundry would never in a million years let these kids do their laundry.

Can they do laundry, yes
Do they do laundry, yes.
Do they really know how to, no.[/quote]

My kids DO do their laundry.  I have no idea what makes you think how you do laundry is special and different, but I haven't touched my kids clothing since they took over laundry last summer.  Doing laundry is not complicated in any way: sort, put dirty clothes in machine, add soap, turn on.  Move clothes to dryer.  Remove clothes.  What makes someone "really know how to" do laundry?[/quote]

Doing laundry wrong would be - 
Too much detergent
Too many clothes in load
Washing towels with other more delicate clothes
Not understanding the concept of dye bleeding
[/quote]

So the kids have a basket in their room that is washed when it's full. We was both sets of sheets once a week. We wash towels once a week. These are all separate things, and it's really hard to screw them up. [/quote]

So they wear stained clothes or you throw them out when stains don't come out?[/quote]

When I notice stains I pull the item aside and treat and we go on with our life. ?? Why is this something that has to be controlled by mom? Seriously, not seeing how kids doing laundry is so upsetting to some of you! [/quote]
Because these people are insecure than they have no disciple, routines, or responsibility in their households.[/quote]

The school should add a chapter on Doing laundry to the math course. :lol:  Everybody would learn fast. You think they are capable
of add two plus two but the can not grasp concept of amount of detergent measured by one predesigned scoop, they can not count pieces of laundry put in or they can not comprehend delicate and rough clothing let alone that some colors might bleed? If so then the only thing between them and learning is YOU. How are they suppose to learn if you are a gate keeper and protect the secrets?

Come on.. just save a bunch of old clothing of each kind and use them for "practicing" the mistakes, do something crazy with them, let the kid do it and let them see the results and laugh together. Throw one pink sock with white load.. use  hot water for woolen sweaters.. 
shrink something, color something.. can be done, can be fun! [/quote]
