They do their laundry once a week and two of our son's put their laundry together. Believe me with boys in athletics they have a lot of laundry. We are very conservative on our energy consumption. Besides they will be prepared for life having done their own laundry at home under watchful supervision. Maybe the boys will not end up with pink underwear one day in college.<BR/>Thanks for your comments.<BR/><BR/>Kyle,<BR/>Thanks so much for you comment. I am so blessed by these children. I can't even voice how much the Lord has used this tragedy in their lives to minister to me personally in ways that I never dreamed.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325240260667284256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945855605940594967.post-33615088837779799882008-04-03T17:46:00.000-05:002008-04-03T17:46:00.000-05:00That was a very touching post and thank you for sh...That was a very touching post and thank you for sharing it with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945855605940594967.post-32551767921282912852008-04-02T15:00:00.000-05:002008-04-02T15:00:00.000-05:00I think it's a great idea to make the kids help ou...I think it's a great idea to make the kids help out, but don't you use an awful lot of extra energy and water this way? Here in the Netherlands teens never do their on laundry, because over here we dont't think that one person's laundry is economical.. unless you save it up a really long time!Dutchnichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05120278385221090929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945855605940594967.post-27518916016589817092008-04-02T10:17:00.000-05:002008-04-02T10:17:00.000-05:00Way to go!

We have to remember that we're trying to raise independent adults, not cater to our children.<BR/><BR/>My kids are 10 and 13, and they can now practically clean the whole house (I just still can't get them to scrub pots!). It's wonderful. And I'm very proud, as you should be too!<BR/><BR/><I>Visit <A HREF="http://tolovehonorandvacuum.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">To Love, Honor and Vacuum</A> today!</I>Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842674051346091248noreply@blogger.com
