Wednesday's laundry
Okay, so I finally woke up and realized how absurd it is for me to pay so much for an 11 year old to come fold laundry. I guess I thought since I hated it so much that I would have to pay someone a lot to do it. Because frankly, I wish someone would pay me a lot to do it. Anyways, Gilbert reminded me that I was paying her more than we pay our mechanic and then I understood the ridiculousness of it all. Besides, am I really that lazy that I have to pay someone to fold laundry? (I don't have to answer that, do I?) Anyways, as of tomorrow my children are going to learn to do their own laundry. Ugh! Even the thought makes me sick because I know it's going to be a battle to get them to do it. (they're so just like their mother.) Oh well, at least I won't have to pay them.

Good for you!You should make a game out of it or something...maybe then it won't seem so bad!
ok Mel, you tell me how that turns out when Ian and luke are old enough. ;o)
OK...now I'm even more depressed! As the cost of gas keeps going up, up, up, the rate for folding laundry is in decline!!!
for you Dad, I would still pay the top rate. Just don't tell our employees at the shop that you make more than them.
Not to brag or anything :) ...but Ian usually asks to help fold the clothes already (he doesn't last long, maybe a pair of pants or two)!And Luke will dig through the laundry so he can find all his underware & socks and put them in his blue basket!( That's kind of fun, right? I mean who doesn't love digging through a pile of clothes- especially to see who can get the most underware first!)I'm still proud of you for getting the most out of your free child labor (no matter how intolerable it may be and "un-free" it may seem!).
