    Ah, so you did it properly then. You made an attempt and messed it up so as to avoid future requests to do it because you would just make it worse. Nicely done :-D

      Just can't figure it out. How am I supposed to know which socks are my wife's, my young son's, my daughter's, my older son's. Sheesh! Everytime I take them off the line and throw them in the basket, my bride of 32 years complains that I need to keep them in pairs, sort them by owner, and so on. Now that boys wear those low-cut socks, I don't have a clue what belongs to who. And don't get me started with folding T-shirts, putting in the correct piles, colors, sizes, AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! And, whoever heard of folding underwear. I just throw mine in the drawer. Fold underwear! Give me a break. I've got to move to a new place - something on the fifth floor or higher. Jumping out of a ground floor window just isn't effective.

      Why wash underwear? What a waste of time and resources ... You can get at least 4 wearings from a pair: wear them normal, then turn that backwards, then inside out and then reverse again. If you do that each week, it's actually cheaper to buy a new pair than to wash that one all the time.

        Sorry - that links to a morning sock search algorithm. I'm trying to deal with a much more complex problem... sorting/searching straight from the laundry line while Bride is supervising.

            I keep buying bulk packs of all the same socks. That makes mine easy to find, then everyone else is on their own.

              I help fold but that's only because she doesn't know how. Otherwise I buy her the washer and dryer and show her how to use them one time. The rest is up to her. There's also a chance that were she to ever see this post she would die from laughing so hard...

              Folding? There's an app for that. Ask Elaine, she is bound to know all about it. :)

                  'Zackly what I did in my college and single days - 20 pairs of the same socks, 20 pairs of the same briefs, 20 T-Shirts (different colors - a compromise), and a few pair of jeans (patched of course). Not all that much different today. Most days I go to the office in T-Shirt and jeans. If I have to meet a client, I wear a new T-Shirt and a new pair of jeans. Hey - I'm a classy guy.

                      Do what I do - just keep piling them up and pair them up occasionally. When it becomes too much, use them for oil rags or donate them and buy new socks. Well, I don't do it that often, but it has happen once or twice in the last ten years.

                        Mark the toes of the socks with a certain color of magic marker. Or buy everybody different brands. And buy yourself black/brown dress socks. Have your wife wear girly shirts, you wear button-up shirts, have your older son wear whatever t-shirts, and have your younger son wear nothing but Power Ranger themed clothing. Don't wear any underwear; if you can get the others to agree to that, then you're all set. :)

                                    I actually do ALL the laundry in our house. The significant other used to 'do' it all but I got fed up of not having anything clean because she'd been too busy watching TV/sleeping/doing girly stuff. I wash it and dry it but... the only stuff I sort is mine and our son's. Her's go in a pile for her to sort out if she can ever be bothered - which is generally when she needs some clean.
