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...

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.

i do the laundry 75% of the time. which is only fair because 80% of the stuff in the basket is mine - i'm a sweaty beast and my wife wears a lot of dry-clean only stuff.

Umm, well, it's like this... Bride was busy making a cherry pie (my favorite). The "L" word was mentioned. I took the hint and tried to help. Obviously due to my lack of sorting and searching skills, this is not a regular pasttime of mine. I quit and went back to working on my programming project - much easier!
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

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.

Did you search on the internet - see here? :-D I sympathize with you - I often cannot locate the right pair - not that I care but...

Yes, this is the first advice I give all newly married men.

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

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

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.

'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. :)

In a couple of days from now, The Daily Insider is going to have a link to your post exclaiming the discovery of a new SOCKS protocol that is going to replace HTTP. :cool:

I respect that. I wear metal shirts. They hide me from clients.
