my neighbor's grandaughter didn't know about hanging out clothes.

I´m afraid children nowadays believe chicken have no heads or legs. Of course your young neighbor doesn´t have the least idea what is to play hopscotch. How´s your son, sweetie? Hug!

Here in our country, I think almost everyone still prefer to hang their clothes out to dry. There is a different scent to air-dried clothes than those with the dryer. Even those who are rich don't usually use dryers. It also saves on electricity since clothes that are hanged to dry to not need much ironing compared to the ones that are put into the dryer. Maybe the child lives in a place where they do not have space to dry their clothes so almost everyone uses dryers.

I have been living on this earth for 15 years and I have never seen someone hang clothes on a line. Probably becasue I've lived in the city all my life.

Not only DO I, I PREFER too. I think that some of these younger generations miss out. The age of convenience? or is it just commone sense? I mean there are a lot of things I do that save me time, money or are just better for you. I hang out my clothese because it saves me money on drying them, but - then I don't have to iron them either. I make a lot of my own breads and other baked goods because I can control the grains and the sugars in them. I can my own vegtables and make our meals from skratch not those ready made kits because I don't like all the additives. I guess common sense isn't the right word to use. I look at doing things like that as more of a way of life than others do, but that was how I was raised. Work hard and you get your payouts from it. Guess that's the farm girl in me.

natural sun dried clothes really smells better than those dried clothes from dyer..so..i still hang clothes even thu they are dryer dried already.

Little task like hanging cloths should be taught at an early age especially to daughters. My younger daughter who is a bit tomboyish can never hang out clothes properly no matter how hard I try to instill in her the right way to hang clothes. But my other daughter is doing it perfectly well. She will arrange it well on the cloth lines. Parents should not pamper their daughters and let them live an ignorant life not knowing how to do simple task.

Last year when they took a tree down in my yard they knocked over my clothes lines....but I still have a line tied from my garage to a tree....I haven't hung anything out there for a while....but I used to hang my clothes out to dry all the time.

first of all how is your son? i hope everything went well you know at the rate everything is developing what we did even a year ago seems so outdated and old. its no wonder that child had never seen anything as simple as that.even connecting on net today seems like an every day thing but it was unimaginable 5 -10 years ago. guess we have some fond memories which are quickly being replaced by technology growth. there is nothing much we can do i guess except make some new memories as fast as we can.so that we have atleast that to hold on to.

How funny is that.Never seen anyone hang out washing ,no wonder the worlds resources are running out,free fresh air and people don't use it.In my eyes there is nothing more satisfying than seeing fresh washing blowing in the wind,that lovely fresh smell when you get it in.ok you have to iron it but I love to have nice ironed clothes in my wardrobe ,I also feel proud of my family as they put on freshly laundered clothes .so that is old fashioned now,well I shall be behind the times forever then.I am not saying I never use my dryer but only in the wet weather .You are so right kids miss out on so much these days.

I wouldn't necessarily say kids are missing out on anything, at least not here. They're lives aren't less full just because their family uses a dryer. I also don't think it's that strange that they've never seen someone hanging their clothes. When I grew up (not that long ago, I'm only 24) my family was the only ones I knew who hung clothes. No one in my neighborhood hung clothes and none of my relatives did either. I'm sure I could have seen clothes hanging somewhere, if I'd driven around looking. I lived on the eastern shore of Maryland where everything is a little more "behind the times." But no one in my neighborhood did it. I think people thought we were the weird ones for doing it, but my mom didn't want a dryer. It cost too much and it's nice to have your clothes dry in the wind. I'm sure it's even less common now. I live in an apartment but, when I get a home, I intend to line dry some. I'm sure I'll use my dryer for most things but my towels and sheets will be line dried.

I believe that it is EXTREMELY important to do what you can do to be more environmental. I grew up in a big city in a neighbourhood where most people used clothing dryers to dry all of the clothes. In my family we had a clothing line where we would dry the majority of all our clothes in the summer. It was to cold in the winter but we would hang them around the house in the winter. Hanging clothes on the line outside is not only more economical but it's also preserves the clothing and helps to reduce green house gases. I think tha clothes lines are going to become much more popular in the future. Society is becoming much more aware of doing their part for the world and that is one easy way to help out.

Well yeah times have changed and sad but true. Some kids just dont get to see those kinds of things. They will probably just here about it in stories. LOL!!!! All I can say is that I am going to be 26 and I have seen it done and I have did it myself. bye maria

I do think that is a bit weird. I've lived in the city all of my life and every once in a blue moon even I see some person who still enjoys hanging their clothes out in the fresh air.

Kids really do miss out on a whole lot these days. Everything is so easy for them. Alot of them do not want to learn or know anything about the older days either. They have no idea what to do without technology things.

I never say anyone hang laundry until I was in my 20's. Actually I had no idea people still did that. I had seen my mom hang her hand wash in the bathroom, but that was about all. Everyone had a dryer were I lived. If it broke it was fixed in a few days. No one I knew would even think of hanging laundry outside, nor would they have a place to hang it. Now that I live in an area with expensive electricity and plentiful sun I hang my stuff out, but it took a while to get used to it.

That is something to think about. Kids nowadays just don't know how to live and improvise, we were brought up that way, so if one thing doesn't work we know how to do it another way even if it isn't the easy way. And most of the time the other way is a way that requires a lot of energy. I will say that is why there is a lot of obesity in the world today, things are done now without much effort. I live in the south and I see clothes hung on clothesline a lot, I was raised hanging out clothes, it is a wonderful and nostalgic things to see clothes swaying on the line in a summer breeze.

I do hang out some of my stuff..goodness knows it's been hot enough. It can save alot of money to do so. Take care.

I'm 22 and i remember helping my grandmother hang clothes on the line. my granny didn't have central air and that time so putting clothes in the dryer would make the house hot.

No, I don't think it's a bit strange. I remember when my mother used to hang out clothes. She still continued to hang out clothes some after we got a dryer. She used the dryer more often, though. I like to hang out clothes sometimes, myself. I especially like to hang out my sheets. They smell so good after being outdoors. I hang out clothes more in the summer than I do in the winter. Kathy.
