[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t do chores growing up. Like, at all. We had a maid who came every day so I didn’t even make my bed. I don’t recall ever doing anything with the dishwasher. We had gardeners so I didn’t have to worry about anything outside. I did take care of feeding the dog but I liked the dog. I cooked and baked but only when I wanted to. I am now a fully successful adult with a very clean and organized house who cooks a lot although I work out of the house full time. I do make my kids put their dirty clothes in their hamper and pick up their toys and stuff and they generally make their beds every morning during the school week but that’s about it for now. I agree with you that this is not the most popular approach but honestly I’m not worried that they won’t be able to figure out how to do things on their own when the time comes. I don’t think one needs over a decade of laundry and other household chores to learn how to do them. I mean, they aren’t hard. [/quote]

That is great but for every story like that there is one a student that goes off to college and can not do laundry.  At all  No clue.

That was my nephew.  No need for that.  Just have the kid do laundry and other basic chore before you send him off do he not so helpless.[/quote]

Some colleges have laundry service.[/quote]

You completely missed the point of PP.[/quote]
