[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 738199, member: 1157"] Like SWOT, I made my kids responsible for their own laundry early on - I think it was around age 13 (my mom did the same to me!). That doesn't mean I didn't ocasionally throw something in for them form tine to time. The way I look at it is this: Saying, "hey I'm doing a load of darks, do you have anyting you want me to throw in with it?" is being kind/helpful. Going into his room and collecting all his laundry and washing it, is more along the lines of "enabling." I also agree that there's no need to fix him special meals .. but if you're cooking for yourself/SO, no problem with inviting him to join in. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
