Get rid of all symbol socks, weekday socks and colorful socks (you won't find anything suitable anyway, just admit it yourself. It's the first step to freedom). BURN the basket of "orphaned" socks you have in the laundry room (you'll never find matches, just trust me on this one). Buy a bag of these for all your kids before school and thank me later. No more sorting socks. No more "orphaned" socks. No more socks that almost match but not quite because the manufacturer hates you and changed a tiny but important element to drive you crazy. These socks are identical. If you're showing signs of OCD, these socks are your new best friend.
