I had a friend who when we wanted to swim on Sunday at his house and nobody was home, discovered there were no clean towels. He said we couldn’t wash some and therefore couldn’t swim because he “wasn’t allowed to use the laundry machine”. Not like an authoritarian thing, that he never learned how and had broken it before somehow.
If your teenager doesn’t know how to take a bag out of one box and put it in another box or scrub the night nut out of his own undershorts you’re fucking up.
Listen. You being mad is fine. You taking it out on someone who isn’t even expected to do their own laundry is something else entirely.
What 14yo isn’t already doing their own laundry? That’s setting them up for failure/being a pain in the arse to whomever is their future partner.
