When kids do the laundry ...are they having fun?

If so , then your kids are certainly as efficient as you. They are lucky to have you as a mom , to be able to teach them about living independently in that sense. Household chores , if done together as a family can be so much fun. Take care you...

Thanks for the compliment. I tried to make my kids independent at early age,make them responsible because we never knew what tomorrow may brings . I may die tomorrow or the next day and who's gonna take care of them. So...better teach them everything which is necessary in this life. Have a great weekend

hello zed, Actually,when i came home from work my youngest already done cooking the rice and he is 12 years old. I work at graveyard shift and comes home around 10-11am,so i don't have much time for cooking. My youngest son since he's the one who comes home early from school (usually he's at home by 10:30am,he then cook rice ,so when i arrived home i only have to cook for the other dish (viand) or sometimes i just buy cooked viand/dish from food chains and then i can have my lunch with my youngest son before i go off to sleep. Same thing with the laundry,they (my kids) had done some washing of colored clothes by Friday,so when it's my day off which is Saturday,i only have to wash the white clothes,still they're helping me with it and we can do house cleaning the rest of my day off. It's just a matter of time schedule and management...we don't need servant/maid at home...and that makes my kids responsible and independent as well. thanks for your response and have a good day always

Even though I have two sons, I think they need to learn to be independent. My husband and his family are of a different mindset and are totally against making boys do 'work'. They even balk when my older son washes his own plate. So I've reached a compromise on that front. When we are visiting in-laws my son doesn't have to do it...at other times he does. He is fine by it and I'm out of confrontations. I'm sick and tired of the arguing and putting my point across. And yes, I'm a tad TOO meticulous when it comes to EVERYTHING...lol

That i wonder why...there is nothing wrong for boys to do some household chores eh. Here in my country,men who do their laundry,wash dishes and clean the house (having a well organized pad) is one of the best guy for girls...and their mom's to be proud of having a son who knows how to do those household chores. Not to mention cooking...oh my..men who can cook delicious menu are family's pride...not a girl,because women/girls are already known for cooking and household experts nah! That's why i am very proud of my second son who can cook simple dishes at his age 15,he even woos and gained applause from his teachers when he cooks for them. Anyway,they are your kids,you have all the right to teach them household chores..and it is for their own good and welfare.

hello SV, Yes dear,the sooner the better. I want my kids to be independent at early age,coz i might be living for a longer time. I want them to learn about life and living and not all idle and fun all the time. I want to die,and have peace knowing that they can live by themselves without me. My eldest and second son knows how to iron their clothes too,i still have to teach the youngest one for this. Now i can guess you are also meticulous when it comes to clothes (washing and ironing) have a great weekend

pretty soon sis... lol

dear myles, Okay fine,you know how to do the laundry and you want your kid to learn all those household chores at early age.. now... "wedding bells"

really soon

Yeah sure my bonita I can look for you..send me your assets including your liabilities..so I can show to your potential husband... Take care my dear..

i like that...give me a good lawyer- for a husband

dear Martin, No,i am not gonna send my laundry to you... but...can you find a husband for me who is willing to do the laundry like you do? How's life my dear amigo...i hope and wish you are doing fine always

hello simplyd, My daughter is 17 and my youngest son is 12. They're using washing machine...oh they don't know how to wash clothes using hands alone... Yes,it's clean and i give them instructions how to do it...like soaking it first for hours before the final wash. have a good day always

Good question, since you said don't blotter to the authority meaning under age, oh your in trouble my friend.. It is fun because they washed not really clean or just playing around... see you around

Well, in this era of modern technology and where children could operate the computer at an early age, it's no wonder if they could be taught how to operate the washing machine too. Since it involves water, that makes it more an attractive chore for them.

ok...use your feet..hahaha

bhaby, okay next time i will wait for you and you'll goin to do all the washing,esp the linen actually i just changed curtains,beddings and still needs to be washed

I forgot how to wash clothes maybe i can use my feet you know i need to take care of my hands so i can type here

Oh yes, the small kids are more prone to catching cold n stuff... My Mom tried to teach me washing at the age of 15.. But hey, by then, I was a grown up boy and hated the womanly task... ... So I could never learn it... Still, today, if I need to do washing i.e. if it is a MUST, then I can handle that... There are not many good laundries here... I am gonna change my flat soon... Thanks a lot!!!

hello mr_pearl, Yes,when my kids are smaller i don't let them stay with water for long also afraid that they might catch colds. But now,i have them do the laundry,and i teach them how to wash clothes as early as 10 years old. well,since you already tired from office work,you can send all the laundry to shops,good thing that there is laundry shops to do that work for you. have a great day always

hello cream, How sweet of your hubby doing the laundry for you (^_^) And thanks for not reporting me I have to teach my kids at early age dear as i am a single mom-so we need to help each other with chores as i also work. i am also glad that my kids like those things,thu sometimes it takes them time to finish as they are playing always

hello inkyuboz, That's your choice. But my kids can't say no,they have to do those things,it's for their own benefits. Thanks for your response and have a great day always

so you are still kid which should be the one washing your own clothes, oh your sending to laundry shop, but did you know how to wash/ see you around

why not dude? I better know how to wash. lol

dear bhai, Uhmn...yah i can remember your topics regarding washing your undies okay...fine that you do wash your clothes,don't give all the dirty clothes to mom right?

dear LK, But why manual laundry? Or you really want to wash your clothes manually?

hello Bella, That's not really fun when done everyday,and would sounds really abusing already. We done our laundry once in a week for this vacation,but during school days we do it twice a week. thanks for your response and have a good day always

hello friend, That's good,at least they also know how to wash their clothes. I teach my kids how to wash their clothes when they aged 10,starting from small pieces like their undies and then later had to teach them the proper way of washing clothes . have a good day always

oh yes,they always do that as per instructed,as i don't want them to spoil our washing machine

that's good and teach them also check every pocket for any money left there... before submerge in the water... LOL

hello uns, Well,that's good. Still you have to take it out from the washer and hang it to dry and iron after. thanks for your response and have a good day always

hello caver, It's good to teach kids doing some household chores at young age,they will be benefited when they grow old and start a family of their own. It will make them responsible too. have a great day

hello jazel, Your kids are too small for those chores my friend. You can teach them how to organize their things at that age. I teach my kids to put things back from it's place when they aged 2 or earlier than that. When they were toddler,i always tell them to put back where they'd got their toys,in that manner that will always practice being organized and don't keep messing up their toys. Have a great day and i am sure you can make your kids responsible too

hello sender, Yah,kids find it for fun,while adults find it as a task. Good for me,i am doing mylot and kids having fun with the laundry hehehe. have a good day always

hello ebuscat, Kids having fun with bubbles..and maybe they find it fun since playing waters,spraying each other to make them a bit colder,since it's too hot here now with this summer season. thanks for your response and have great day always

hello veproye, That's good to know that you started doing your own laundry at young age. It's always good that we become responsible at an early age right,it give us pride as well. thanks for your response and have a good day always

hello arunadas, I also like washing clothes and playing with water and so with the bubbles. I don't have maid/servants now that my kids are grown ups,we can do all the household chores with schedules have a great day
