[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 84273"] They do know how to push our buttons. I would have walked in and calmly stated that I did do laundry and if you can't find anything to wear then, frankly, it's not my problem. However, if you choose to continue with this behavior, maybe it's because you have too many choices and I will make it easier for you by narrowing it down. If she chose to continue, I would have taken away all clothes except for what she needed for the week that *you* pick out. I would also inform her if she continues to speak to you in that manner regarding her laundry, then she can wash her own clothes. 9 is not too young to do laundry. I quit looking for laundry years ago. If it's not in the hamper, it doesn't get washed. Once, when easy child was 10, I did all the laundry except that all of easy child's were on the floor in his room so they didn't get done. The next day he was very nasty to me about it...that he didn't have any clean clothes to wear to school. I told him I had done all the laundry the day before and if he wanted clean clothes, he would have to wash them himself. He then asked me how much he was going to get paid! [img]:surprise:[/img] I told him that his reward would be going to school in clean clothes and had to try very hard not to laugh out loud at his absurdity. It's a good thing I like him.
