+1 to all of what Dude said!

with DD, we basically said, "ok, you manage it" when she was about 18 months old. the rules continue to this day: it has to be weather and occasion-appropriate and there are no complaints allowed if something is still in the wash - Dad gets through the laundry mountain when he gets through it and for that we are eternally grateful!

Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
