Lynn, My kids (all 3 of them; ages 11s, 13d, and 15s, all do their own laundry.............I started this because I was tired of doing more than what they wore in a weeks time........needless to say my daughter usually only has a couple of baskets to do on her laundry days............. now if she would get rid of the clothes she dont wear..........(but thats another long story)
This summer they are going to learn the concept of hanging up clothes to dry.........
