I would leave his laundry aside...let him learn how to do it. What happens if you aren't there to do it? Say, attending a PT meeting or something? He he he...
Oh I'm not saying it's a gender thing, cuz my 13 yr old brother helps me with my laundry. (mainly after I've been up all night at work then up all day doing laundry and I pass out on the couch) I just notice that most mothers (at least around here) don't think their boys need to know stuff like how to do laundry and such.

I guess it just annoys me so much because of the way I was raised which was: If I wait around for someone else to do it; it'll never get done so I might as well learn to do it myself. At 10 I learned to mow the lawn, 13 I started to learn to cook and do laundry, 16 Dad taught me to change a tire,check my oil and anything I need to know about the car. So by the time I moved I was set.

Dustin is trying to learn now I will give him that. Guess my training of him isn't quite done yet
