I taught my wife how to do laundry. She had a bad habit of murdering clothes when we first moved in together, because no one ever taught HER the right way. We split the task now, and all of our kids do their own. I'm also in charge of appliance maintenance, so I definitely know where the washer/dryer live and am intimately familiar with their inner secrets.
Just about every member except one does laundry here.
I've seen some parents who don't. One of them doesn't believe her child is responsible enough. It's a real shame.
The mother of my godkids. They're all adults now, and only the daughter has any idea of how to do anything for herself.
If they aren't responsible enough, she should help teach them some responsibility. Either way when the time comes they are going to need to know how to do basic stuff whether she thinks they're ready or not
Wondering where that fine line is. 30, 40, 50 years old? Either way, it hurts!
Waiting for Thor to do that exact thing to me. Hoping you heal soon
Our school has always offered home ec but they call it different things now. Culinary arts, home improvement skills, sewing and crafting. This way, they are offering different classes for the same budget. My son signed up for Culinary Arts this next school year. He's very excited
My mother had a foolproof way of making us all do our own laundry. She would reliably either shrink your clothes or make them emerge from the process with pink streaks.Thank you! I'll look into it.
100%! I started my kids helping with laundry almost as soon as they could walk. By the time they were 9 years old they were doing their own all by themselves, including their bed linens.
