Today, I caught my teenage daughter doing her laundry for the first time ever. She had piles of black and white, but then she threw them together in the washing machine. I told her blacks and whites were supposed to be separate, but she just said, "End the segregation, mom." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I did laundry for the first time in weeks. Feeling productive, I dumped everything in, including what I thought was my pile of towels. Turns out, I washed (and shrunk) my roommate’s $200 wool sweater. She found out when I proudly showed her how “clean” everything looked. FML
Today, my 17-year-old daughter didn't do the laundry. Her excuse? "If it was meant to be done, it would have done itself." This is the same daughter who yesterday tried convincing me she was responsible enough to get a dog. FML
Today, I went to gather the laundry out of the dryer. My daughter had seen my wife put bleach in the washer, so she decided that honey in the dryer would make the clothes smell sweet. She wasn't wrong, but now I have a giant ball of sticky socks and underwear. FML
Today, I was folding the laundry. At one point, I had to take a moment to figure out whether a pair of underwear was mine or my mothers. I'm 18. She is 56. Enough said. FML
Today, I decided it was time to have "the talk" with my daughter, after I found a thong in the washing machine. She denied it was hers and pointed out how it was too big to fit her. I ended up having a very different talk with my son. FML
Today, when I visited my daughter's apartment that she moved into about 3 months ago, I found out that she buys new underwear every time she runs out instead of washing her dirty ones. Her dirty ones have their own special hamper. FML
Today, I went to the laundromat for the first time. I fit all of my clothes into two washers. Not knowing where to put the soap in, I asked a man doing his laundry, "Excuse me, where do I put the soap in?". He replied, "Ma'am, those are the dryers." FML
Today, I walked into my house with a couple of friends and I saw my girlfriend doing laundry. I jokingly asked her if she had time to do a load of mine as well. She scoffed and said, "Yeah babe, I'll gladly do your laundry… The same day you learn to wipe properly." FML
Today, my daughter used my towel. She thought that because it was clean, it would be okay. She’s 27. FML
Today, my daughter was putting clothes in the drier when she yelled, "Mom!! The drier won't start!" I had to explain to her that the door needed to be shut. Her response, "Oh. I didn't know that mattered." She's 15. FML

she's right, it's useless to separate clothes, like ironing

You can throw in a color catcher and wash them together with no problem. I do it.

Technically they don't have to be separated. At school for my rate, I didn't have time to separate and washed everything with cold water. Worked everytime lol

Sounds like Mook might have a history of trying to keep things separate.

Yeah, mom! This isn't what rosa parks sat in the back of the bus for! Lol

She refused to give up her seat in at the front of the bus not the back. Educate yourself.

I never separate my colours. Unless I've just bought something new and it hasn't been washed before. In that scenario I put that one item through on its own the first time.

Two loads. Reds and everything else. Never had a problem doing this. Believe the myth if you want but the only color you have to separate is red.

I've never separated any of my laundry by colour and I've never had a problem. Half my clothes are red, and everything is still the colour it was when I bought it. If you wash in cool water rather than hot the colours don't bleed, nothing shrinks, and the fabric doesn't wear out as quickly. Win win :)
