Laundry: boys can do it too

Please, parents, make sure your sons know how to do laundry. Before they go to college. Before they live on their on in an apartment in a city.

Because here's a scene I just witnessed this weekend at the neighborhood laundromat - a mom teaching - rather, trying to teach - her obviously very disinterested adult son in his ridiculous preppy J.Crew-esque canvas belt with turtles or something on it how to do laundry.

I mean really, it should have been embarassing or both of them.

Honestly, I've been doing my own laundry since I was like 10 and the same for my brothers. Not that my mom or dad wouldn't sometimes do laundry including ours but basically it was everyone's responsibility to make sure they had enough clean clothes so if you needed to do your own wash, you just did.

Can't you, in fact, figure out how to do it yourself without instruction from your mom based on, I don't know, the instructions on the labels in the clothes themselves? Or TV? Or maybe seeing a friend do it? Or something?

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
