At my son's school, he has to wear Khakhi pants and a white polo, which means, he never has to debate about what to wear -- but his white shirts do get filthy. :P I still haven't gotten him to the point of washing his own clothes. He's been so swamped with homework this year that he's barely able to get everything done as it is.... but I'd rather he do it, than I fill myself with gritty resentment. :P
We gave up our dryer years ago when we lived in an apartment where we had to pay the dryer in the basement with quarters. In outrage we began hanging everything on racks -- including the cloth diapers! (so that was 12 years ago, but we moved into that apartment in 97). We bought a house with no working dryer and no where to put one, so there we were! It just requires more forward planning. I'm happy that you unplug yours in the summer. :)
