[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 508207, member: 1514"] TM, you are like my mom was on this issue. I am not saying that in a bad way either. I think it is a parent of a single child thing. I was a full grown adult when I figured out there wasnt a clean clothes fairy. I didnt actually take my clothes off and leave them in the bathroom but my issue was that I had a hamper in my closet and magically they went in the hamper and then they came out and appeared on the hangers in my closet or in my drawers. I never gave it a thought. And it wasnt like I didnt have chores either. My chore was to clean my bathroom completely and to put dishes in the dishwasher and then remove them and put them away when clean. Yeah, I was asked a lot...lol. I have no idea why I never got it that clothes were being done by someone. It just never occurred to me. Fast forward to when I moved in with Tony. I kept throwing out dirty clothes in the closet and they kept stacking up. Finally one day Tony asked me when I planned to go to the laundry mat to do laundry. I looked at him in awe and said...do laundry? I told him that if you put the laundry in the closet someone would come get it but obviously they were a bit busy and hadnt gotten to us yet. He laughed so hard at me. He thought I was kidding. But I wasnt. Finally he figured out what had happened and he had to walk me down to the laundry mat with baskets and teach me how to do laundry. Needless to say my kids knew how to do laundry by the time they could reach the tops of the machines. [/QUOTE]
