Mind if I ask at about what age you started this with your kids? I know
ours are still a bit young for carrying and putting away their own stuff,
other than socks and underwear, but I'll get them doing their own
laundry - or at the very least, helping out with it - as soon as they're
tall enough to reach the dials and soap without making a huge mess! I just
do not know when would be a good time to start getting them into the habit.
