Yay Baby Rose!

I accidentally left a load of laundry in the washer from Monday night til I got home and looked this morning. It smells kinda icky--I just re-ran it, but does anyone have a great suggestion about things to add/do/make it smell awesome, other than "detergent"?

As a parent, and former teen, I know full well the kind of rebellion that type of parenting can cause. Wow.

{{Maria}} I'm sorry that you keep getting kicked. Loving peaceful thoughts sent your way.

White vinegar. I'm not sure how much, but google (or probably another Buffista) will know.

ND, WOW. That's just freaky, especially the comments. And while some of it is more "gosh, that's going to make your daughter rebel like whoah", some of it is "So, really you're just trying to not get her to date AT ALL, eh?" You want some guy, before he's even DATING your daughter, but when he first asks her out, to agree to put tracking software on his computer?!? I mean, go ahead and do that to your daughter's computer if you want (I don't agree, and think it's a bad plan but I get it), but...no.

(And that's ignoring the whole "your pastor is a woman, go to hell")

I was going to say vinegar too.

Just pour it in like I would detergent? Or do something special?

That dad's post really depresses me.

Forgot that you left wet laundry in the machine and it now smells moldy? Pour a few cups of white distilled vinegar in the machine and wash the clothes in hot water. Then run a normal cycle with detergent.

The number of all out wrong points made by the dad, I can't even go over that. I believe the best thing parents can do to assure that their children have healthy dating experiences is to treat each other with love and respect. My parents showed us every day that they cherished and respected each other and we try and show our children how partners should treat each other. I surely do not believe I can influence who my children will find attractive, but I can show them how to treat someone you want to have a relationship with.

So far the boys have not encountered this type of dad. I can't imagine how they would react.

If they're smart, run. Or maybe bring the daughter over so you can give her some support.
