ONly until they're old enough to be taught to keep clean (do they want to be sick and be teased for being the stinky kid?) and have proper etiquette and manners(do they want to insult someone by being an idiot and a slob- and risk that person smacking them in the head?)i think skull nailed it, but i would also say that as a parent one has a responsibility to do some of both.
I would agree that we need to "indoctrinate" them into keeping clean, and proper etiquette and manners, but that's just me
