[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 711784, member: 1233"] This makes me feel bad. I have done two loads of laundry in three years. I am not exaggerating. When I need laundry done, I tell one child or the other that I need laundry done. I stopped doing the kids laundry almost a decade ago and my own laundry five years ago. I will fold and hang up laundry, but I can't get it out of the machines or carry wet laundry anywhere. Even before that, Hubby and the kids were afraid I would fall if I was carrying a load of laundry, so they would have hissy fits if I did laundry. I hate doing laundry, so who was I to argue. People really do their adult children's laundry other than my strange mother and her occasional weird Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) moments? I fight those. It drives me nuts when she will decide she wants to come get all of our clothes and wash them. Even the clean ones. I never know why, or what motivated it, and it drives me up the wall. It is usually at the absolute least convenient time for me. But if I say anything, I feel really ungrateful. And if I try to pay? You would think I had just stabbed her in the eye with a rusty fork! I am SOOOOOOOOOO not kidding. Even my kids think it is really odd. It happens every 2 years or so. Usually she has done something for my brother, I think. Not sure though. This is such an interesting thread in many ways. My mother didn't do our laundry once we were maybe 11 or so. My kids don't have cell phones, mostly because they don't want to pay the bills and don't want to spend all day talking to people. So I didn't know people do those things. [/QUOTE]
