Julie Alexander+FollowWho should clean up if you didn’t eat?Imagine coming home after a long day of classes and work, only to get scolded for not cleaning up a dinner you didn’t even eat. That’s what one college student is dealing with—her parents expect her to help with kitchen chores, even when she’s not home for meals. Some folks say it’s unfair to make her clean up after others, while others think everyone living at home should pitch in, regardless. Maybe the real issue is unclear expectations. Would you be okay with cleaning up after a meal you missed, or should chores match your schedule? #Education #FamilyLife #Chores00Share
mcphersonlaura+FollowAre you still sorting lights and darks clothes before you wash them?This is a classic Millennial dilemma. I grew up with the strict multi-step laundry ritual my parents enforced. We had separate hampers for whites, darks, and towels, and the temperature had to be precisely correct for each load. Now, my spouse and I just throw everything into one machine, run it on cold, and call it efficiency. The arguments are hilarious. On one side, people are militant about sorting to preserve their nice knitwear and avoid the tragedy of a faded white shirt. They argue that sorting makes clothes last 20 years. On the other side, people say modern washers and detergents have made sorting totally obsolete. We are so busy that if we waited to have a full load of just "bright delicates," we would be wearing dirty clothes for a week. There is also a whole sub-group that sorts by what they need to wash hot (towels and underwear) and what they wash cold (all the regular clothes). And then there are the people who just throw everything in and are surprised when they forget a tissue and their dryer looks like a winter wonderland. So where do you stand on the laundry sorting debate? #Millennials #LaundryHacks #Adulting #Chores #DomesticLife 01Share
