I do agree the washing clothes by hand may be pushing it and nobody really does that in the Western world but simple things like dishes by hand, definitely cooking, etc should be taught to our kids.Folake Taylor, MD.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12130281897420377828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639248193629249866.post-23229924782741384532010-10-26T19:10:35.731-04:002010-10-26T19:10:35.731-04:00Very interesting.

I think one of the major reasons we make kids do household chores is so they don't grow up being dependent on others. However, doing laundry by hand, like grinding pepper using the Olo, is just a little too far in my opinion. I'd rather send the child to the laundromat if our washer breaks down. That way, the kid still learns that he/she should be able to do her own chores without necessarily hurting herself from trying to wash heavy clothes (my sister hurt her hands from trying to wash jeans while she was visiting in Nigeria after 8 years in the U.S.). <br />Nice blog here. I'm sorry I am just discovering it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
