One day when I was probably 10 years old, I was playing at a friend's home. Her mom called from the other room, "Girls, you need to help with the clean socks!" My friend rolled her eyes and led us into the dining room. To my utter amazement, the dining room table was piled high with socks to be matched! (This family had nine children...it's a LOT of socks.) My memory stops at that point, most likely blocked by the pain of sorting the mountain of socks into pairs.
I read an idea to help simplify the sock matching situation. Buy a mesh bag, commonly used for fine washables, for each member of the family. Each person can put his/her own socks into his/her bag. On laundry day, wash and dry the socks in the separate bags. It would take training for your family to do this, but the time it would save matching assorted socks would be worth it, as well as not being blamed for missing socks!
