Now we but her socks (and anything else small or Velcro) in a lingerie bag which solved the problem for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457679 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 07:10:23 +0000 honeybear 2457679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Thank you!! :) Amazon is always the answer, isn't it? </p> <p>@Dahlia: I tried this idea for a while, but I discovered that I have an "input" problem. My family is pretty good about sorting other clothes, but the socks never got put into the bag! I should try again, maybe with a sock-only basket next to the regular clothes basket like @tofuwad: suggested (great idea, thanks!), and then I can dump them into a delicate bag before I wash. </p> <p>@RKitty: @Pumuckl: @lamariniere: So, despite the current state of my laundry situation, I totally get where you ladies are coming from. :) I can totally tell if one sock is thinner/more worn than another! </p> <p>Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457635 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 05:23:37 +0000 lamariniere 2457635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: @Pumuckl: hello OCD friends, I'm joining the club! :silly: I cannot stand to have matching socks that are unequally clean or dirty, stretched or worn. So if you have 3 pairs of white socks and they are varying shades of white, with varying signs of wear, you can't just randomly match them up! The wear has to be the same! Gah! I'm glad I'm not the only one. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457625 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 03:05:44 +0000 Pumuckl 2457625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: Thank god I am not the only one. My DH has all plain black socks with logo but the logo changes every couple of months/seasons and I refuse to put them together. I only own socks were I can tell 100% which sock goes with which :) My kids own mainly colorful and patterned socks and no more than 3 of the same type :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457621 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 02:22:01 +0000 Boogs 2457621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dahlia: I do the same! The washing machine was literally eating them, we found out when we had a back up and it was baby socks in the hose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457620 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 02:21:08 +0000 Boogs 2457620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: Infant / Toddler Boys 3 Pack Heather Grey Ribbed Crew Socks by Carters - Gray - 2-4 Years <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B36N1GO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_kydVwbBXYV31B" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B36N1GO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_kydVwbBXYV31B</a></p> <p>Nike Infant Baby Socks Gray Black 6 Pairs, Size 06-12 Months <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J2J0VDG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_VydVwbGVKZ58M" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J2J0VDG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_VydVwbGVKZ58M</a></p> <p>They do exist!

That way they all stay together in the wash and don't get lost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457558 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 23:22:09 +0000 tofuwad 2457558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually only started wearing matching socks after I got married because my husband complained that it made him stressed because of OCD sock issues. Before that I'd just wear two of the same style and never worried about matching. :grin: I imagine that's what's going to end up happening with my kids.</p> <p> I come from a family of four kids and growing up we had a "sock basket" that had all the kid socks and if you needed socks that's where you'd go. Probably once a month someone would match and fold all the socks and deliver them to each person. It honestly never occurred to me until I got married that socks needed to match! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457506 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 22:02:32 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2457506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually prefer the colored toes/heels versus an all white sock. It makes it so much easier to pair the socks up correctly with its real mate (a sock that should have even wear and tear to it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457072 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:50:13 +0000 DenverMom 2457072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much do all white baby socks all the time. And I've also gotten really frustrated with finding only crazy colorful patterns at the store. But I dress my kid in fairly colorful and patterned pants/tops, so finding matching socks is just stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2457025 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:18:47 +0000 RKitty 2457025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate white socks or plain colored socks.</p> <p>I don't know how else to describe it other then OCD... But I go OCD on socks. They have to be matched perfectly. The pattern, they wear, the amount of washing, stretching etc. I often end up throwing out socks because they no longer match perfectly. I no longer buy plain colored socks for myself. My husband does but after the last time I tried sorting his socks and it caused a mini anxiety attack I no longer touch his socks. Wearing mismatched socks stresses me out. I can't do it and it bothers me to see other people doing it.</p> <p>My husband has already been told he can match all the baby socks that are plain colored once we start having baby socks everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2456661 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:02:30 +0000 looch 2456661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: Amazon, where I buy pretty much everything else, or Walmart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2454734 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 09:09:44 +0000 Adira 2454734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: I'm not positive about a whole set of grey socks, but the next time in either store, I'll check! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2454725 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 09:06:55 +0000 honeybear 2454725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Please tell me where you buy gray socks! ;) </p> <p>@Adira: Are there gray socks at these places?

I will check those out. </p> <p>@Corduroy: @lady baltimore: I totally have the grungy white sock issue, too (for the one or two white pairs that came with the sets of multicolored socks...). Maybe gray socks? Gray socks could be the solution! Sock-producers of the world: Where are the multi-packs of gray socks?! :) </p> <p>@lamariniere: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: In theory I'm with you. Patterns and colors are awesome! But in practice, matching up socks feels to me like an activity that belongs in some special circle of Hell. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2454674 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 08:33:12 +0000 looch 2454674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Add me to the group that buys the colorful socks...my son wears them mismatched, it's like some crazy game to him to choose the most mismatched pairings.</p> <p>None of us wear white socks, though. It's either gray or black, or crazy patterns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2454659 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 08:24:47 +0000 erinbaderin 2454659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Me too, our household is all coloured/patterned socks all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-sadist#post-2454658 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 08:23:58 +0000 Adira 2454658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, you can find white ones!
