[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I probably did 90% of their laundry (as well as DH’s) when they were in high school, but they certainly knew how, did it sometimes, and had no difficulty adding that to the list of things they needed to do to take care of themselves when they went to college. For  it is just an efficiency thing, I work at home a few days a week and much easier for me to just collect everybody’s and do it at once rather than have four different people busy trying to use the washer.[/quote]

Yeah same for me except my kids aren't in college yet. I just prefer to do it most of the time. But they know how and will occasionally run their own.[/quote]

I prefer to do it because I just get it done quickly and neatly, without any nagging or arguing; however, I am trying to help them do it themselves as much as possible. They need to learn how to take care of themselves well before they leave for college.  It's a necessary part of growing up.   Same thing with dishes.  They have to take turns doing it, even if it takes 3x as long as if I did it myself.  [/quote]
