[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your child disabled?[/quote]

No, he's a slob.  (Yes, I tried to teach him to be neat, but his bedroom is a disaster and he wore his swim trunks around the house last weekend because he was too lazy to do his laundry).  But he is a good student on a full scholarship, which I am thrilled about, so I'm thinking about doing it for the first year.  Plus, I pity his roommate.  [/quote]

Both of my sons did their own laundry starting at age 12. It is not really that difficult. Did your son ever have to do any chores around the house?[/quote]

Yes, of course he does chores.  He cleans up the kitchen after dinner most nights (dishes, etc.), and he voluntarily cooks sometimes.  He also spends a lot of time with his sister, who has Down Syndrome, and helps out taking her to doctor appointments, etc., and he does this without being required to do so.  In addition to working hard enough at school to have obtained a full academic scholarship.

But I'm getting him the laundry service no matter what you think.  I am kind of regretting that we did not have him apply to any of the schools in his dad's country, where there doesn't seem to be such a vitriolic reaction to something so inconsequential as how his socks get washed in college.

If you knew you were doing it regardless, why did you post?   Trollity trollity troll troll.[/quote]

Um, no.  If you go back and read my first post carefully, you'll see that I asked if anyone had ever gotten the laundry service for the child at college, and how it worked out.  I did NOT ask whether anyone thought it was a good idea or not, nor did I express any degree of hesitation about my decision to get it.  I'm interested in the logistics of the service and how efficient it was, etc.  [/quote]
