[quote=Anonymous]I put fold and put away everyone's laundry. My kids and DH do not match my standards of how clothes should be put away.  It should not be a big deal if they can live with a messy closet or drawer, right?  But the problem is that when they cannot find something in the jumble then they start asking me to look for it.  I cannot stand the last minute headache of looking for a shirt or socks.

Another reason  I fold the laundry is because we have limited storage and different styles of storage.  To fit clothes in properly for everyone in their own space, I need to fold clothes differently for each of them.  My DS's hoodies are on hangers because he has more hanging space in his closet. My DH's is folded in 3rds and kept on a shelf on top of his closet.  I have sweaters that need to fit into a drawer that is only about 8" high - and I try to fold like marie kondo, so that every inch of the drawer is used and it is a cinch to retrieve clothes.  My aim is that all the clothes are visible and easy to remove without disturbing other clothes.  Stacking folded clothes only work on towels, bedlinens, socks and undies - stuff that just need to be clean. With t-shirts and pants etc, if I stack them, the bottom most item will be pulled out - so I try and fold it in Konmari style so that everything is visible and easily accessible.

I have simplified laundry a lot.  Towels, bedsheets are all White.  Our undies are different colors so that there is no mix up. Socks are also different styles for each one of us, so that we can sort easily.  I also do a load of laundry every day so that I am not stuck with a pile of clothes. It took some time but now laundry is very organized in our house.  I have also taught my kids how to fold properly. DH can fold but very sloppily. [/quote]
