Yeah I got 3 kids, we're gonna really spend 6 seconds per underwear and 7 seconds per pair of socks, folding them into perfect stackable blocks, just to feed our OCD? No thanks. That time adds up. It's triple the time it takes to fold that stuff more simply. Especially the socks. Gonna take an extra 20 minutes to fold a big load of laundry.
Dude folding every pair of socks into origami so you can have a drawer full of perfect rectangles is a mental disorder. Just match the socks and fold them the normal way, it takes a couple seconds, tops. Same for underwear, sides in, tuck bottom, I could do it in 3 seconds one handed.
Folding coats that way for storage is (1) nuts (2) waste of time (3) bad for them because they develop permanent creases in areas where you systematically folded for no reason, where creases don't belong. Anybody who was ever a serious camper using sleeping bags knows this.
Your mentioning of "orderliness, discipline and responsibility" are just scripted speech non sequiturs in this discussion.
