I think your best bet is to start teaching him now to take care of his
own laundry: give HIM a stain stick, and show him how to use it, and
get him to use it daily when he takes his clothes off at night. You'll
have to help him at first, of course, but he'll start to notice when his
clothes have gotten dirtier than normal, and that awareness may help him
figure out how to be more careful (or not . . .). At a minimum, YOU
will be out of the job of taking care of it!

Thank You. I tought her how to use the stain stick last night. I gave
her specific instructions about putting it on and washing her hands
afterward. Obviously, the first time was pretty exciting. We'll see
what she thinks of it in a week. Fortunately considering her age, she
has good motor skills to work the stain stick--she said that it works
just like a glue stick.

Cool. She's right -- it DOES work like a glue stick!

I wonder how I missed the gender on this the first time around? I'm
usually pretty careful about that. It can't be because I assume boys
are naturally dirtier than girls -- my own life and family proves
otherwise WAY too often!

I think this is partly because my bosom is perfectly placed to catch
stuff that falls. I rarely wear plain color tops because they show
stains too much. My dad who had a stomach similarly placed always
had problems with stained ties.

Maybe the answer is to get dark-color pants and loose weight?

I wear dark color pants most of the time. But I've had a 37" bosom
since I was 14, and when bf it was larger - never been smaller. So
losing weight isn't the answer, although I should do that too.
