How old were you when you started doing your own laundry?

Asked by mariachitown about 1 year ago, 13 answers.

I was watching Judge Judy today and she was saying how she made her kids start their own laundry at age 5, and I believe it because Judge Judy is strict. I think thats insane!
I'm almost 19-years-old and my mom still insists on doing my laundry because...

she said it saves laundry soap if all of our laundry is done at once, I obviously put it away and everything though.
How old were you when you started?

5 year olds are just learning how to sort their colors not measure the detergent, fabric softener, water amount and push those sky scraper high buttons! Plus, putting them into the dryer! They get heavy when they are wet!!! Folding, don`t get me started! They are 5 year olds! Let them be kids and not maids! I started when I was 11 but not because I chose too...thats a mom for ya!

I don't have to do mine, and I'm 14. But I have a friend who's 11 and she does everyone's laundry. She gets paid for it though.
