Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 > Shoot. My boys have been doing their own laundry since they started high school. When we lived in places that had a washer and dryer, he did, but in this apartment we don't, so doing the wash means a 2 hour trip to the laundromat. During the school year he obviously can't get there, but if he's going to be home all summer, the first time he's not doing any summer classes since he started homeschooling in 6th grade, he can get his hiney to the laundromat once a week. And if he still refuses to drive, he can take the bus to get there. > I also insisted that one of their elective classes be a home ec cooking class. He's been doing a lot of his own cooking for years now, so I know he'll never starve! He's also pretty good with a feather duster and vacuum cleaner, as well as washing the dishes. His room may be messy and cluttered, but it's a *clean* cluttered mess, if you know what I mean. Sue in NJ Quote
