Ditto @rlmesq... 30-40 of my friends cram into my apartment every year for a "Friendsgiving" potluck the week before Thanksgiving. Doing dishes isn't my issue... having enough plates, cups, bowls, utensils, etc. for all of those people is. There is no way I could store all of it, so disposables it is.

Back when I was canvassing door-to-door for an environmental campaign I went to a house where, after my introduction, the woman who had answered the door called her young son (definitely under the age of 10) over and asked me if I could tell him about the reason I was there. She asked him if he thought it was a good cause and he said yes. He got out his little bank and handed over five dollars. His mom explained that she gave him an allowance expressly for making donations. She'd give him information on different programs or charities and he would pick which ones to send his money to. I think that's pretty much the best parenting tip I've ever gotten, and plan to do the same thing if I ever have kids. It's a three-for-one... there's still the value-of-a-dollar/savings lesson, but there's also the opportunity to learn a bit about a broad range of issues, as well as teaching about the importance of giving back and helping others. Pretty awesome, if you ask me. 8 Mistakes Parents Make With Allowance Deseret News |

i've done this in my room because the folding doors were UGLY, and they didn't paint them when they painted my room before i moved in, so they also didn't match. Apartment Therapy Boston | Removing Closet Doors |
