[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 296030, member: 1233"] MY thank you can pull together a proper load of laundry and wash and dry and fold it. He has been doing it for at least a year and he is only NINE!!! Your son is probably choosing not to "get it" because it isn't a big deal to him. I vote 210 % that he needs to go to a laundromat. Put a lock on your laundry room door and use it. A key lock! Keys only on your ring and husband's ring. Mabye give him enough for 3 loads of laundry a week and a box of soap and some dryer sheets to start. But taper off on that cash. He is a legal adult and needs to bear some of these costs himself. Until he has the total responsibility of his clothing he will not "get it". Of course he can do what my bro did. He rented a house with a hook up for the washer and ran a laundry line in his basement. Now it is in the spare bedroom of his trailer. ALL of his clothes are khaki/beige/dull gray dull green except for some black jeans and blue jeans. His only separating of colors is to not wash the black jeans with anything that a stain would show up on, and for his 1 good white shirt he hand washes it or takes it to my moms and tosses it in a load of her whites. She is OK with it as long as he can wait until she is ready to do a white load. The only way he will "get it" is to have to get it. [/QUOTE]
