Today, I was gathering laundry around the house. I forgot my son was almost 13, and grabbed the very stiff socks from under his bed with my bare hands. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I pulled several socks from under my son's bed. I spent far too long trying to figure out why they were so stiff before I finally realized. FML
Today, my 12-year-old son came home after a week with his father. He was still wearing the same socks and underwear I sent him out with. FML
Today, while at my boyfriends place, I thought I would be nice by folding his laundry and putting it away since he was working late. I opened his sock drawer and sitting on top was a photo of his mother, naked. FML
Today, my mom texted me, “Sweetie, I found something weird in your laundry basket.” My mind raced through every possible embarrassing scenario. I called her in panic, and she said, “Why are there 18 single socks?” I’ve never been so relieved to be messy. 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, my son decided to run around a supermarket in his underwear, leaving me to chase after him. FML
Today, I had to sit my 13-year-old son down and explain to him that I'd noticed that his pajamas feel a little "crispy" when I pick them up to do the laundry, and ask if he could start using tissues when having some "alone time." 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 grabbed a pair of pants from the dryer in a hurry, trying to make it to the bank. When I rushed in, I felt something fall down my leg. It was a pair of my mom's granny panties that had been stuck inside my jeans. I kicked them aside, hoping no one would notice. They did. FML
Today, I found all my missing underwear that I have been looking for for months, and have been replacing. They were all hidden in a pile in my 14 year-old son's bedroom, covered in crusty stuff. When confronted, his response as to why was, "Hormones…?" FML

He was just eating some icecream in his room when he spilled some and just happened to use the socks to wipe it up. And then, because he is a disgusting teenager, he threw them under the bed. It is why teenaged boys everywhere have crusty socks under the bed, they eat a lot of icecream. 😏

Next Gift giving event, give him lotion and a box of tissues with a note that says: "Use these instead of your socks, love your laundry doing mom." Or just leave it in his room whenever you get the items and time.

I think I was about 12 when my mother taught me how to do my own laundry... and she may have never stepped into my room again... 😃

Time to start him doing his own laundry. Just don't say anything to him that will embarrass him. That wouldn't be cool.

I would have a sit down with him. Explain that it's totally normal for him to explore himself, and that he shouldn't be embarrassed about it. I would then tell him that he should use tissues and not socks, to make sure he's is clean and hygienic, and that he can come to you if he has any questions.

Sounds like it’s time for him to do his own laundry
