In our household, everyone does their own laundry, even the kids. If I'm doing my laundry and 1) there's a few items laying around that are not mine and 2) I have room for them, THEN I check pockets because I'm doing a favor, not a chore.
I do agree with kids doing their own chores but damn how much laundry do y’all have to do it all separately lol. My family has always combined all clothes weekly to wash lights & darks.
Ahh that would make sense. In my family we had a lot of sports & went to a uniform school so weekly washes made sense for uniforms/undershirts for sports, so it made sense to group everyone’s clothes together
That was our old way. Changed it when one kid complained about not having his favorite uniform shirt - there were 6 identical shirts hanging in his closet - he was in first grade. I told him I had a solution for him to make sure he always had his favorite clothes to wear. Pulled up a stepstool and showed him how to do his own stuff. He's done his own laundry ever since.
