yes, I believe we should remind them of these things, and actually teach them some of these ways as for a greater appreciation of the life style. Besides it is terrible that some don't have a clue as what to do when the dryer is broken, other than go to the laundry mat. Mom taught me when you hang clothes up hang in order towles, washcloths etc, that way when you take down, you fold and you just put away when brought in.
