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.........

Hugs,
Ardella
