To send a diary reminder to DH to change bedding for his friends

DH has booked a few work trips this month and has also invited friends to stay for a weekend at the end of it.

I have just realised he will expect me beds to be changed, and clearing up of the mess in the bedrooms.

I have too much on; he isn't going to do it. The children are hoarders - it's not a one-hour job. I'm looking for advice on how not to crack.

What do you mean? Advice on how to not crack and remind him? How to not crack and do it yourself? How to not be embarrassed by the state of the house?

Why can’t you just talk to each other? Or give the kids a big box each and tell them stuff has to go.

Talk to him?

The children's bedroom serves as a guest room when people visit. The whole house is a midden.

Remind him. Are they mutual friends, if he'd have asked would you rather they wasn't staying? If they were good company I'd compromise and sort some of the stuff possibly with the children.

Just leave it, he's an adult, he can do it. He invited them, he can be embarrassed when they turn up and it's a mess. Just ignore.
