I agree with all of the above. My kids had to start young to do there laundry.
I was working 3 jobs at one point so I wasn't here to always do the laundry for them.
I felt they were better for it. I had a girl friend that did her girls clothes and when they went off to collage didn't know how to do there laundry or boil water.
Kids have it way to easy these days. They need to learn where the money comes from and its not on the tree or your hand. If the clothes get left on the floor they stay there until they pick them up and do the washing.
I liked the buying back Idea
