2. So um, why are you doing his laundry? Let him do it.
My kid's been doing hers for 4 years now. She's 13.

I won't touch her stuff!

That child needs to learn how to live a life. Laundry is a good start! Stop waiting on him and treating him like a child and he'll start taking on some responsibilities when you stop making it so comfortable for him.

I suggest watching "Failure to Launch" if you want a good laugh about a brighter side of your situation... but there are lessons to be learned there.

Stop being so nice!!!!! BIG hugs, nothing worse than nasty teenage laundry. I won't touch it!
