Anyone else's teenage son get through 3 or 4 pairs of socks a day...?

[Ponders]

...and never put any of them to the wash? And then moan because he has no socks?

(They get too claggy to be borne another minute apparently. )

I've just done a washload & now discovered 3½ more pairs on his floor aaaaaargh

pmsl at Zazen

Yeah mine were all like that at 6 too.

Thats interesting Ponders - does this Eton chap recommend a more military stylee for boys then - not much of the softly softly?

No need to add to your laundry BalloonSlayer there are many mums of 6yo on this thread who are as yet uninitiated into the miasma of teenagers' socks.

I do think good habits can be taught though - here's hoping anyway!

I envy you - my son REFUSES to change his socks and the smell is making me feel sick. I beg him to go and change them but he says new ones are not as comfortable???!!!
