Their school clothes are always dirty - whether from recess, art class, sitting on the floor, etc. Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856102708963900512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-13872484371350675022016-03-29T11:05:33.274-04:002016-03-29T11:05:33.274-04:00On the laundry thing, have you suggested to the gi...On the laundry thing, have you suggested to the girls to re-wear their clothes as much as possible, unless there is a stain on something? <br /><br />Reason I ask is in my house until recently all clothes ended up in the laundry and the reason it did so is because my kids were too lazy to fold and put them away. Tossing them in the laundry hamper was less painful. I had to explain to them that they will have to fold and put away eventually, whether or not they're washed. That didn't occur to them. Then, in defense of our time/money/environment, I "threatened" to withhold allowance based on the amount of non-dirty and non-smelly clothes ending up in the hamper after ONE wearing. <br /><br />In my view, only underwear and socks can be worn once. Everything else, unless totally filthy or they sweated in them, can be re-worn several times. This works, until they become teenagers, at which time the number of re-wearings is reduced (but still they can re-wear). <br /><br />Dunno, just an idea to tame the laundry beast. <br /><br />Kim DaddyBiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627359063631594523noreply@blogger.com
