How old
my kids all knew how to do laundry by the time they were teens. If I were his mom...or even girlfriend.....heck even a friend......I would tell him a very loud "NO" each and every time he brought the laundry my way. he would eventually have to do it himself....or else go buy new clothes when he ran out of clean ones.....

He's a jerkoff and the women who continue to do his laundry are idiots.

I WOULD LET HIM KNOW IF HE IS OLD ENOUGH TO LIVE ON HIS OWN AND PLAY HOUSE HERES THE RULES OF THE ADULT HOUSE THAT WE ALWAYS DREAMED OF PLAYING AS CHILDREN.
HAVE TO WORK , AND PAY TAXES
HAVE TO PAY BILLS, HAVE TO SAVE
HAVE TO CLEAN, OR JUST SMELL LIKE POOP
BE RESPONSIBLE NOT ONLY TO OURSELVES BUT THE ONES AROUND US. TREAT OTHERS HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED, AND I DONT THINK THAT MEANS WAITING THREE WEEKS TO GET OUR CLOTHES WASHED.
His father feels sorry for him, says that his son has little time to do laundry, does not have a washer/dryer at his own house. I think that by the time you have been married once, gotten divorced, been engaged two more times-they broke up with him, has a full-time job, lost his drivers license, had it reinstated, had three cars repoed, been evicted four times, it is time to get your life straight, and that would include doing laundry for yourself. His answer is exactly as stated above, if he runs out of shirts/pants/underwear/socks, go buy new, although he cannot seem to buy new towels.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
the way I look at it. If his family wants to enable him. Then you aren't going to do any good finding a solution on how to get the message across from us.
It's his life.....he can make it or break it. let him suffer. And yes, this is coming from a person who is caring. It's a minor thing and it's costing him relationships. It's his problem to solve..not yours.
Everyone in my house does their own laudry - starting from about 8 years old. My biggest problem is getting it completed and out laundry room. Folded and put away becomes another chore. I also realize that the clean becomes and mixes with the dirty. It is a never ending battle. It is no wonder my greatest day of achievement is the day the youngest is out of the house for good!

I think you gotta start your kids early on the laundry thing. Then when they get older they don't want you to do their laundry- they have developed their own "style" if you will. At least that's how it has happened in my house- and I am sooooooo glad- not that I would do their laundry anyway........
or, should!

My son was 13 when he started doing laundry. That means using the washer,knowing this goes with that and that doesn't go with those,how much of this goes for that,when it stops you get in there and get it from the washer to the dryer.
My 10 year old son then gets them out of the dryer. He puts them in the piles they belong in. Takes the piles and put them on whomevers bed. THAT person has to hang up or fold and put up. My 8 year old daughter has to hang hers up or fold it and put it in the dresser.
So "he is 27" and won't do it? Fine,but he won't be storing stank arsed clothes in my house either. They'll be bagged up and sitting outside with the rest of the stank trash. If he doesn't want that then he'll wash his own stuff.
Yeah I'm free.Free Falling!
I would really like to know how old children are when they should start doing their own laundry? I am not referring to my own child, but someone I know. Here is the situation: he is 27, lives on his own with his best friend, has parties about three times a month, but never does his own laundry, and holds it for weeks on end. He some how has not grasped the idea that you cannot do three weeks of laundry all at one time, unless you go to a laundry mat. He had/has a girlfriend, they broke up two days after he took all of his laundry out to her house to do, he had saved three weeks for her. I need someone to explain a good way to tell this person to "GROW UP", he actually thinks it is funny!
