I was helping out with the laundry by 8 and doing my own by 10.

I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

BTW, I think about your daughter almost daily. We are doing a rewatch of "Farscape."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My kids don't usually do the laundry (when we have a machine that is) but they help with folding and putting it away. They set and clear the table, put food away, wash dishes, and even cook occasionally. They like to feed the cat and clean her litter box, so that's helpful. And they can be relied on to take out the garbage. But basically I let them run fallow.

I didn't do laundry until I was married. My jobs were setting the table, very minimal cooking like peeling potatoes or such, and washing woodwork. We figured out at some point that the washing woodwork was just mom's way of getting us from underfoot. Oh yeah, there was indeed the shoveling of snow. I got out of raking leaves due to allergies.

I planted 48 portulaca and a coreopsis. I think I earned my mead.
Dana, I'm sorry you're having house selling problems.

I think I started doing the household laundry around 11, and did it all the way to when I went away to college. I remember many hours in the downstairs playroom, listening to my older siblings' albums and folding laundry...

Made my 5 miles. Evaded one zombie mob. And listened to This Zombie Life on Abel Public Radio, which was pretty great.

Yay for evading zombies.
I forgot that although I didn't do laundry I did iron! We wore cotton uniforms to school with pleated skirts that had to be ironed, and the shirts. Also my dad's handkerchiefs. Ah, blessings to the people who invented permanent press.
