<p>"What will they think of next? Maybe via satellite, mom can cook dinner and do the kid's laundry too?"</p>
<p>This really must be the Millennial kids' college experience between mom cams and home recipes on the menu in dining halls ... I guess they are still working on the laundry angle.</p>
<p>Sorry, this is OT, but in the book "When I was Cool", the author, who went to Naropa Institute in the 70's said Allen Ginsberg would give him his laundry to wash. The kids had no clue how to do laundry, so he's FedEx it to his Mom in Long Island and she'd wash it and FedEx it back. Haha.</p>
<p>If that happens to me, my S would go naked! I'm like the nanny of Mrs. Doubtfire "I don't do laundry... I don't cook meals...I don't..." (I posted it just in case my S reads this and he is getting wrong ideas ;)</p>
<p>Just found out that my kid's school has a webcam--so people can watch progress on a construction project. I thought about asking my kid to go there at an appointed time and wave to his sibs. . .He already emailed a picture of himself with his not-cut-since-August hair. Surprise--it actually looks better long. </p>
<p>BTW, back in the 50's my dad used to mail his laundry home from college--he was poor, so I guess mail was cheaper than the laudromat--or maybe he was just part of the "laundry is a secret female ritual that only mothers and wives can perform" generation.</p>
