I have two boys three years apart. My 14yr old is 93lbs., yes small, and my other is 11 and he is 91lbs.
I have such a problem keeping track of who's clothes are who's.
I have certain brands in underwear, and socks that I know who goes to who. But, when it comes to jeans, tops, I get confused and then all of a sudden one son ends up with all the jeans and the other has none.
I even have this problem now including my husband's socks.
I have tried marking the jeans on the tag with permanent marker, but that fades.
I have removed tags, but then I don't know what size belongs to who.
Any suggestions? The boys can't even figure out anymore who's is who's. lol

I had a smilier problem when i lived at home, my dad and I had some shirts and things that were the same, business shirts, I love Dice, so i took a sharpie and put a small Dice on the back of the label, cant see it and when wash was being done all mom had to do was see the Dice and know its mine. So have the boys or one of them think of a symbol or something and put it on the Label!

Maybe when hanging the clothes separate the closet so 1 has 1/2 of the closet and the other has the other 1/2. Also when doing wash, wash their their separately.

Get fabric paint, in each one's favorite bright color [ say, blue, red, green.
Give one a blue circle, one a red X, and one a green triangle.
[ or do their color in their initials ].
Mark inside back of neck, waistband of shorts, and inside fly of jeans.
OR, give each kid two laundry baskets: one for clean clothes, and one for dirty; and tell the boys to wash their own clothes!
In my house, if you complain abput cooking, you get to cook.
Laundry, you get to wash. Floors, you get to sweep. Etcetera.

They have stamps that you could buy two of. They say the childs name, and you just stamp it in!
