I have three kids, ages 22 (daughter, Beth), 18 (son, Rob) and 14 (son, Ed). Beth was doing her own laundry by the time she was 13 -- her choice, she just started doing it. My boys do their own, but only after they totally run out of options. They have chores that they regularly try to get out of, but for the most part they get things done. The challenge is picking the battle: just because they don't do it the way I would, doesn't (always) mean they didn't do it correctly....<grin>
