<p>I just love doing laundry, it is relaxing and I do not do anything else at home, no cooking, no shopping, no cleanning. I cannot get credit for being nice.</p>
<p>marite, Not a real hamper, those black and white pop things you get at bed, bath and beyond for the dorm room. The kid has two and they were both filled to the brim with stinky clothes. Now, all the clean clothes are all over the floor interspersed with the dirty ones. I can’t see the floor!!!</p>
<p>my youngest daughter arrived home with the “sumo baby” as she calls her gigantic laundry bag. She actually had to wait for her boyfriend to help her drag it down the steps to the car. But she is pretty good at getting it done herself at home and I am much better about stepping around it and ignoring it until she does get it done.</p>
<p>I asked Mathson if he had any laundry as I was doing laundry the weekend he arrived. Imagine my surprise when he said he’d done it the day before he came back. Is my boy growing up?!</p>
<p>I don’t mind doing laundry, though I always enlist help getting it in and out of the basement and sometimes get company folding it.</p>
<p>Is my boy growing up?!
Mine spent the very last hours with his chums as if they were going to be separated forever rather than three weeks. He does do his laundry regularly but everything tends to land on the floor. I don’t know how he can distinguish the clean from the dirty. He is from the Moundbuilders’ generation.

<p>I don’t mind doing the laundry since he is the only child so putting all the clothes together saves water and electricity.
What I DO mind is him stuffing things into overflowing drawers or throwing things in a heap on the floor after I have taken the time to fold them!!!<br>
He doesn’t care if his clothes are wrinkled–why do I bother folding??</p>
<p>DD came home with clean clothes, the benefit of booking a flight in August for the day after the last possible final but having your finals end two days earlier ;)</p>
<p>I have been doing laundry alllll day. 
My dad offered to do it for me, but I actually enjoyed doing it as I had no other plans.</p>
<p>S doesn’t bring home dirty clothes, but I suspect D may. He finished exams 3 days before his flight & I think he washed after exams. He likes things neat–his room is the cleanest in our home anyway. D has her clothes all over the floor but cliams to know which are “clean” and which are “dirty.” I told her that her room mate will probably expect more order & cleanliness. We shall see in a few weeks when she has a room mate for the 1st time (other than this summer).
I think S prefers washing his own clothes because that way he controls how they turn out. He’s known how to pre-spot & wash since he was in grade school. He learned to pre-spot because there was some red dirt that is really tough to get out if you don’t pre-spot ASAP.</p>
<p>I don’t want to feel needed anymore, I prefer wanted, especially when it comes to laundry!</p>
