[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 508306, member: 84"] Most kids? It lasts until they run out of clothes to wear. But even then you have to make sure they don't just pick out what they want to wear and actually clean up all the laundry from their piles. I tried this with katie when she was living with us pregnant with Alex and Kayla was a baby. Now remember, she was an adult 20 yrs old. No reason for her not to pick up after herself and Kayla. Didn't work, at all. She'd sit in the same outfit for heaven knows how long........and let kayla do the same. Until I couldn't stand the stink of either of them and I'd lose it. Now you realize this is only stage one of the laundry wars, right? Next stage is the small loads for emergency outfits. Then it's the clothes sit in the dryer or pile up in the laundry room because they're too lazy to put them away. Too many dirty clothes that have sat too long or too many clean clothes that blocked the use of the laundry room for anyone else........suddenly made those clothes disappear, as in bagged up and tossed out with the trash. If you have so many clothes you can just leave them lying around everywhere, then you just plain have too many clothes. That worked better than any nagging or anything else I tried. Good luck with stage one. :) [/QUOTE]
