My coworker's son still lives with her, and she doesn't mind that part of it because he's just starting out in his career and hasn't saved up enough to buy his own place. She cooks, takes care of the house, and works full-time. Until 2 weeks ago, she was doing his laundry too -- that means 1 load of work clothes which she also irons and 1 load of everyday clothes which she also folds. That's 2 extra loads of laundry PLUS ironing and folding in addition to the laundry she does for herself and her husband! 2 weeks ago, she told him he had to start doing his own laundry and he got all huffy.
It's so nice of her to let him stay in the house, getting away scot-free with doing next to nothing to help her out. Is this really too much to ask of him? Any suggestions as to how she can get him to understand the need for him to do this?

cant really blame the son if his parents dont have the nerve to kick him out. they need to let their son know that times a tcking and he needs to get out there and start on his own life. he only feels this way because his parents havent said anything until about 2 weeks ago and he's 25! his excuse is until he gets his life together when will that be? when he's over the hill? i think its his parents doing and they should have had this talk when he was in highschool.
for the mom tell her she needs to put her foot down and leave the laundry alone.DONT TOUCH IT! he can do it! dont baby him anymore!

the son really is old enough to be more considerate. If he doesn't want to do laundry then he should trade something with mom. Maybe he can do the dishes, wash the car, vacumn or dust. He sounds like a load

No way ... he needs to be on his feet
There are cultures in the East where the kids live with their parents even after they get married BUT they do this so their parents can retire early and take care of their parents

Your co-worker is the one responsible for his behavior. She spoiled him. She has been ruining him for twenty five years and now she's tired. It's actually a little too late.

If he and his mom are cool with it, then don't meddle.
