5,701 | daddit | Don't worry, if you raise him wrong, you'll still be folding his clothes for a good while. |
5,702 | daddit | My kids embraced wearing mismatched socks and it's wonderful |
5,703 | daddit | I have four kids. Haven’t matched a kids sock since the oldest was like 3. Wife and I argue. I tell her to just buy the same sock 500 times. She insists on cute colorful ones. Well then, the baby is going out with one pink sock and one yellow. |
5,704 | daddit | My wife gets pissed because I just keep buying packs of the same colored socks. Just tons and tons of white socks, with the occasional dress socks mixed in for the kids. It’s so efficient! |
5,705 | daddit | I'm a bit relieved to hear I'm not the only one doing this. |
5,706 | daddit | Omg I had a pair of pants in my son's drawer that came from who knows where that said 3T, and they were longer and had a wider waist than any of his other 5T pants! I swear if any 3T kid fit them, that kid would have to grow up to be a fuckin giant. |
5,707 | daddit | Do they have kids of their own, and if so, do they hate you? |
5,708 | daddit | Appreciate that advice. I'm sober and my girlfriend is sober. I had been doing yoga and endurance events like marathons and cycling back to back centuries (100+ miles) for about 12 years. I scaled way back when COVID hit but I still hike weekly. My cardio is fantastic and my diet and nutrition are pretty good, too. I live at the base of a mountain and can still boogie up it as well as anyone I know. I take real good care of my mind, body, and spirit. And now I feel blessed with a baby on the way. Life is good. Thank you, kind stranger. Excellent advice. |
5,709 | daddit | There's a sub for everything. I'm dying laughing! And I'm now subscribed! |
5,710 | daddit | Copy that. I know nothing about these things. Thanks. |
5,711 | daddit | Thank you, brother. |
5,712 | daddit | I do the opposite. I fold but don't match. Just take two random socks and put them together. Done. |
5,713 | daddit | Just toss them in a drawer unpaired and unrolled. Baby's sucks don't need to match. Most of the time adult's sucks don't need to match either |
5,714 | daddit | 10%? More like 40% in our house |
5,715 | daddit | Don’t worry. Rounding maths ensures you will not go below 4 socks. |
5,716 | daddit | this is what you need to know - wired hanger, side of the wash mashine |
5,717 | daddit | lucky man |
5,718 | daddit | Same here. I do the cooking/meal planning and cleaning, she does the laundry. Works out pretty well. |
5,719 | daddit | This is what I do as well. Wife wanted to use those little mesh bags to keep them together but I ditched that bc why extra steps. We keep the bundles in one of those clear shoe organizers hanging on the back of their closet. Great to organize by size and items. |
5,720 | daddit | That was the day I stopped folding socks and underwear in my House! |
5,721 | daddit | Bags come in lots of sizes (we have some that my 5 year old can fit inside) so the clothes are never cramped and can move around. Clothes dry normally. Just gotta pick the right size bags. |
5,722 | daddit | #fiberDads |
5,723 | daddit | Temptation bundling ftw! |
5,724 | daddit | Cooking is another time where I'll either watch a show or listen to something on YouTube |
5,725 | daddit | Pros: I no longer have to clean my sofa because nobody sits on it. Cons: It's a $10,000 sofa and I haven't sat on it in months. |
5,726 | daddit | No, I hem and haw about how silly it looks and it makes no sense. |
5,727 | daddit | I'll be thinking of ya when folding towels later! Cheers! |
5,728 | daddit | Every morning: >daddy, is it mis-matched socks day? Damn straight it is! *Every* day is mis-matched socks day. |
5,729 | daddit | In our house, the answer is: they both match because they're both sock-shaped. |
5,730 | daddit | Right? My dog socks and bug socks are friends |
5,731 | daddit | At first, when I pulled matching socks out of my drawer, it was a little awkward. But I've embraced letting them match once in a while too. |
5,732 | daddit | We call them "rocker-socks" at home.. |
5,733 | daddit | We have four. All girls. 8-13. All socks live together in a drawer. You want.socks, go nuts. |
5,734 | daddit | This happens with utensils at my house too. Wife bought these forks and spoons that were different colors but came in pairs (a blue pair, a pink pair etc). She really hates it when I let the kid eat with mismatched utensils If it were up to me, I would likewise just get the same sock, utensil or whatever 20 times and call it a day. |
5,735 | daddit | After I did this, mine now amuses herself by buying me "running socks" (socks with rubber chunks in the soles, that are great when you go to playrooms with the kids that require you to take your shoes off) that have LEFT and RIGHT designations. |
5,736 | daddit | We didn't plan it, but this became the norm years ago and has been mutually agreed upon. Especially with school uniforms to comply with. |
5,737 | daddit | Fuck yeah |
5,738 | daddit | Can you... can you be *my* dad? |
5,739 | daddit | > I'm dying Found the old dad! /s |
5,740 | daddit | I'm subbed too now. We started a little late, but some make those look like rookie numbers by comparison. |
5,741 | daddit | The neck opens up not for their giant head, but so you can pull it DOWN once it has been assaulted by a leaky diaper. |
5,742 | daddit | This is how you keep the genetic diversity of the sock pairs strong, healthy, thriving. |
5,743 | daddit | My brain won't allow me to do this |
5,744 | daddit | conversely even the same color socks I match by the quality of fuzz... kind of like when the tennis player inspects 3 tennis balls before each serve |
5,745 | daddit | This is the way. |
5,746 | daddit | Works until they're 3. Then they complain. |
5,747 | daddit | I currently wearing one black sock and one white sock... Because... Well only my wife and son are going to see them. |
5,748 | daddit | Not there yet, but I would imagine if you're old enough to wear cute sexy ones, to you're old enough to do your own laundry! |
5,749 | daddit | Well, can't argue with that |
5,750 | daddit | You just taught me a new phrase. Yes, I do temptation bundling all the time! |
5,751 | daddit | I wish, but oh man… I fucking *hate* cooking. Would rather help clean up. |
5,752 | daddit | My kids are 10 and 7. We didn't plan to, but almost every sized pair of socks after our kids reached school age has remained identical, easily identifiable per-child and most importantly, school uniform compatible. The only ones that aren't usually came in on a birthday or Christmas from a relative or similar. |
5,753 | daddit | I try to match a theme at least... Like today he has a dark sock with stars and a light sock with stars. Other days he has had one Mario sock and one Luigi sock. Or a t-rex sock and a velociraptor sock. Point is as long as they are close enough he can wear them. Sometimes the stars align and they match this also makes him excited which is cute. |
5,754 | daddit | We have a socket basket, once in a while I try to match some, but mostly it's a crap shoot. |
5,755 | daddit | I get flashbacks thinking about how filthy socks would get in those places. They are the reason spare socks were carried everywhere when our kids were small. There's no way those socks were going back into shoes without going on a heavy duty washing cycle first. The soles on white socks got so filthy that the best you could get them in a wash, was a kind of off grey. My kids haven't been daily - playground age in a long time and I still cringe at the thought of those places. |
5,756 | daddit | Heck yeah! Hahaaa |
5,757 | daddit | Got it! |
5,758 | daddit | That old good AA Aa Aa aa |
5,759 | daddit | Evolve. Adapt. Overcome. |
5,760 | daddit | THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT GREEEEEEEEEN |
5,761 | daddit | My daughter complained once when was like 4. Then I pointed to her drawer full of socks and said, "if you want matching, you have to do it" she just said "nope" and hasn't complained since lol |
5,762 | daddit | I'm saying |
5,763 | daddit | You can watch stuff then but it's a little harder because there's more movement. I'm pretty much looking for any excuse to watch TV and chores are good because you're also helping your family. |
5,764 | daddit | There a reason socks are always the last ones in the laundry basket to get sorted out. |
5,765 | daddit | ....brb. disinfecting my shoes now. |
5,766 | daddit | You don't know terror until you have a poo explosion so huge it goes up the back of the collar into their hair and down the arms. The worst one happened to my wife and I got a sms describing what she was contending with and that she had left the car windows fully open and I was to deal with the car when I got home. I never appreciated the fact you could tear a child seat down so thoroughly and put it back together afterwards and it remaines fully functional until that day. Also the same goes for leather car seats and neoprene seat protector inserts. They stop a LOT more than just crumbs. |
5,767 | daddit | Yup. |
5,768 | daddit | I should try that. |
5,769 | daddit | There is a chain of hardware stores here in Australia called "Bunnings" and one of their gimmicks is they have an indoor playground with a cafe right next to it in almost every store of theirs. This in itself i fine and executed well. However one of their older stores near where I live had clearly not hosed the play area out in a long time and the recycled rubber flooring was a whole new level of filthy. If you hosed down the places you cannot access easily like under the equipment or between the equipment and a wall, water would surely have to come out black. It was that specific playground that prompted the "playsocks" idea. |
5,770 | daddit | I was a plumber for 15 years. Poop doesn't scare me. Lol |
5,771 | daddit | I think any play area for young children will become fairly disgusting in a relatively short period of time. |
5,772 | daddit | Poop is just a bit gross. What does scare me is how much could come out such a small child! |
5,773 | daddit | Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!! Edit: Super stoked! What a fun way to find out |
5,774 | daddit | Holy shit, if I accidentally discovered my baby and a pregnancy announcement like this on Reddit, I'd probably have an aneurysm and stroke out. ... upvoted. |
