it's a beautiful thing. i should've said so in my response, as well. :)
my 13 year-old has been doing his laundry for 2 years.
i started making him do his laundry as SOON as i saw aptitude. he has a
daily list of things to do and his allowance is based on the completion
of the list.
i was raised by the "kids are to be seen and not heard" generation. we
are the product of that and have become the "let's get in touch with our
feelings and i want HAPPY kids not healthy kids" parents.
this is just a theory. as a neurotic mother with OCD i have plenty of
time ot explore my theories. ;)
my generation is creating a generation with some wicked entitlement
issues. wow.
not only do i want my kids to learn that they have to do for
themselves... i do not want them to NOT be able to do for themselves. i'd
also appreciate if they weren't bogged down by the gender-defined-role.
i want capable boys and a strong girl. my oldest (boy) can cook and i'll
save my motorcycle for my youngest (girl).
(my son DOES think i wash my hands too much!) ;)
(steamy towel, good idea. if it doesn't work, get some Goop!)
