I can't afford to keep replacing clothes that I've destroyed.

LOL, I've done similar stuff. Curtains and drapes seem to require very little agitation to start coming apart in the washer.

What kind of stupid question is that. Only the lazy azzes that don't care wouldn't separate their laundry...

I have been doing all the domestic stuff since I was around 8 or so and the one chore I hate is ironing. I am good at it but hate it.

Sometimes for me and most of the times for my kids laundry as they have so many many shirts, underwear, pants, so on so forth...I still do most of laundry for my kids, specially my older one! He likes to leave it until the whole bathroom gets filled sometimes...Sometimes I have no choice but to wash them all and get them out of the way....

omgosh... kids and laundry..I have 6 kids and they all find it easier for them to 'toss it into the dirty stuff' then put it away. If I think its is clean, it is promptly returned to them lol

O, wow! You have 6? I feel your pain now.lol Good luck with your laundry. I wash clean and dirty at the same time sometimes. Don't have time to sort them out and see what is clean and what is not. He wants to wear a certain shirt and all of the sudden the whole closet is out and on the floor.lol

I don't sort much I usually try to check the pockets. Who ever sorted this pile was sleep walking. Lucky you didn't get scratched.
