As a mother, I often face unrealistic expectations and judgments from others regarding my parenting choices. However, there is one thing I absolutely refuse to worry about: matching my kids’ socks. I don’t give a sock, and you shouldn’t either.

I am well aware that some people may view mismatched socks as sloppy or lazy. Well, guess what? Keep your opinions to yourself, Karen. I don’t criticize your crippling Xanax addiction or your outdated Capri pants. Where’s the flood, Karen?

Just the other day, a father at preschool drop-off had the audacity to comment on my child’s socks. Oh, wow, Mr. Sock Gestapo, congratulations on your heroic mission to police the world of socks. Maybe you should report me to the Sock Police for a “sock wellness check.” And while you’re at it, go home to your wife, Kyle, instead of cheating on her.

Can't wear mismatched socks if you buy 80 pairs of the same sock. Just grab two from the clean bin and you're ready to face the day.

Walking round the house? White ankle socks.

Birthday party? White ankle socks.

Your niece's christening? White ankle socks.

Day at the office? Wouldn't you know it, white ankle socks.

Trip to Canada? Couple pairs of white ankle socks with extra as backup.

Going to the beach? I got flip flops for that.

Ankle socks no less

White ankle socks are perhaps the least versatile of generic sock types.
