I do most of the laundry in the house. Mostly because I am OCD about folding and hanging clothes correctly (aka MY way!). All I ask of my kids is that they put their laundry in the hamper. They generally do this without fail. I mean, there is the occasional stray sock left on the ground, but it’s rare.
Last weekend I instituted a new policy.
The kids aren’t happy. Me, I’m dreaming of the riches I can reap.
I am tired of sticking my hands in their stinky, nasty socks and flipping them right side out. So I warned the boys, for each sock I find inside out, I am charging them a quarter. 7 days, three kids. That’s 21 pairs or 42 socks. I could be making $10.50 a week!
I gave them a visual reminder.
Just my luck… the kids are abiding by the new rule… no riches for me.
