Teenage son buries mom in laundry !

Posted by: Daisy on October 3, 2007 at 11:54AM EST

That is what the headline will read when they find my dead body on the laundry room floor, after having collapsed from fright at the site of yet another full to overflowing laundry basket coming at me from my sons room. In a family of four, my 16 year old generates 90% of the dirty clothes in our home. What is up with that?

After leaving his room this morning I was so happy to see all the clean clothes that I had washed and folded FINALLY put away and his room all neat and tidy . Then I made the fatal mistake of checking the basket...FULL...AGAIN...**** !

And so it continues !

It is time to get mine started. I think it will curb some of the practice of wearing a piece of clothing for an hour and declaring it dirty. That's what really gripes me-- second only to trying something on and throwing it on the floor!

I have several friends who have their children start doing their own laundry at age 12 (boys and girls). Teaching your children to do the laundry is not such a bad idea. For a child, it is really not such a bad chore! My son is eleven and I have thinking of introducing the idea.

I hate doing laundry (actually it's the folding and sorting I hate) and draw the line at washing clothes that are folded and in the laundry basket!! That's when I know I've busted my sons or daughter putting the clothes they're supposed to put away in the hamper!! With all the sports and activities these kids do, no wonder there is a never ending supply of dirty clothes.
