Dear DD1,
You don't keep track of your clothes. This gets you into trouble. I've tried helping you. I've shown. You how to put away your clothes, where to put them when their dirty - your laundry basket - and where to put them when they're clean. Nevertheless, you don't do this on your own. I know you're your father's daughter a d organization is not a strength. I'm so ready to throw my hands up......
UR Mom

PS: WPs...any tips for this??

dglvrk2 - if you figure it out, LMK.

Dear atmosphere,

Stop with the heat. If I wanted to be hot, I’d live in Arizona. This is miserable.

Signed,
A delicate flower.

Me three. Also she trades her clothing with friends? And her friends are mostly several inches shorter with tiny hips so the clothing she then puts on does not fit? And the fancy hoodie (why are they so big expensive ?) she got on request for Christmas is evidently a fair trade for the hole-filled school sweatshirt passed down by her BFF’s older brother?

BFF’s mom and I recently got together for a clothing exchange. Here are the many bathing suits your kid has left at my home, thank you for all of DD’s sweatshirts and shoes, here are BFF’s pants for the some reason?

Dear WP,

“This shirt has great pockets. My phone will be fine!” are famous last words.

RIP iPhone that is now at the bottom of the Atlantic after it fell out of my pocket off the side of a sailboat.

I don’t have a good answer to the clothing situation. When I tell them to take care of their clothes they do now after many years. But there isn’t much initiative. DS sometimes rotates laundry while playing video games because they are both in the basement. I have to tell them to take their clothes upstairs and put them away. And I have to tell them to throw dirty clothes down the laundry chute so we can start laundry.

No solution here because Dh does the laundry, poorly. He puts my clothes in Dds pile and vis versa. So I will have a new pair of Nike shorts that I can't find anywhere, because eventually she will wade through her clean clothes and come across them. But just because he sucks at it doesn't mean he gets out of it.

Dear eye place
Wow you guys were great. WPs no eye surgery needed. After many different type of pictures and testing plus the biggest eye dilation I've ever seen I don't have a torn retina. I do have a section that is thinner and may need to be fixed eventually. Doc was like hopefully not in my lifetime and told me if I saw black spots or had sudden loss of vision to call immediately. I was anticipating a 1k bill and was surprised my bill was only $340.

A few years ago DD was refusing to put away clean laundry and just wanted to pull it out of the basket. I got pissed and confiscated her clean laundry until she would put it all away. DD draws are super neat so it was just her not wanting to deal with the annoying chore.

I like this idea! Dd1's bedroom is just across the hallway from the laundry room. I fold the clothes because I'm rather compulsive about this... And then I put them in her room, on her bed. My thought is I put them on her bed, give her a time in which she needs to put them away, then take them away from her if they're not put away in time.
