I'm in trouble, apparently, in this department. DS is only 6 (well will be on Friday).
I told him this weekend that he MUST turn his socks the right way before putting them in the laundry basket, so I didn't have to turn them the right way before putting them in the washer. Both kids & DH leave their socks inside out! Drives me INSANE.
Leave it to DS to argue that the inside of the socks is where his feet are sweaty and should be the part exposed to the soapy water.
Here's what I did in that situation: Stop turning the socks right side out (even if it drive you bonkers). Once they get their socks returned wrong side out and have to do it themselves when in a hurry to leave the house (along with them still being a bit grungy) they should start doing it before they toss them in the hamper and even if they don't it's no longer your problem.
