I hate it when other people do laundry, too. I know, it sounds good in theory ... a little help around the house, etc. However, it never works out that way.
If my step-daughter does a load, it's HER stuff only. Like everyone else's stuff has cooties or something. And she NEVER does a full load, because she wants that ONE particular pair of pants clean. So she does an extra large load, and puts the dryer on for 90 minutes ... for ONE pair of pants. 
My dad does one load per day, every day. And it contains one pair of pants, one shirt, one pair of underwear, one pair of socks and one towel. Everything he owns is sort of the same color of gray by now. 
I like to do all the laundry not only because it is more efficient for me to do so, but because I consider it a very good way to check up on my kids. Hmmmm ... did that hoodie smell like smoke? What, is that a ticket stub to an R-rated movie left in my 14 year old's pocket? Nosy moms learn much from doing laundry.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
