Less work for Mother

When my girls were teenagers and I had a full time job the mornings were crazy.
One of them was always frantically calling me from upstairs saying "I DON'T HAVE
SOCKS. MOM YOU DIDN'T WASH THE SHIRT I WANTED TO WEAR etc etc
A neighbor of mine said why don't they do their own wash duhhh why didn't Ithink of that.
That was a "load" off my shoulders. Sometimes a simple suggestion can make life so much
easier.

Yeah, my mother worked her butt off when I was a kid, too. Now that I have my own household I realize how spoiled I was. I had no idea how to do laundry when I went off to college. So, did the girls learn to do their own laundry after the comment was made?
