My kids have a ton of pinks and red type of stuff, plus all the delicates and the undies can't go in with the rest of the clothes because a dryer sheet will irritate the southern parts, and then the whites will get a funky tint to them, not to mention all the lint from towels which have to be washed in hot water while other things need cold water so they don't shrink. I am the laundry sorter in chief. LOL
