Laundry drying, wet weather, visitors, no utility room

What do people do when there's no utility room and there's wet weather and a lot of it like all of the past year and you have laundry to do and visitors?

I did a laundry wash on Saturday and I don't have a lot of period underwear and I decided I needed to wash them too. I like to wear period underwear in the days leading up to my period and in the days after when I am likely to stain easily. I needed my batch of period underwear washed. They are not white by the way.

I did a laundry wash on Saturday and the morning was nice and dry but then the rain came in and I had to take the laundry in. Amongst the laundry was my period underwear. I had no problem hanging them to air dry on the clothes horse located in the corner of the kitchen.

My mother became enraged at me this morning due to drying my underwear and we have visitors staying with us who is family by the way. I saw no issue. It was my mother who became embarressed of some of my underwear hanging up. But they weren't even on show. I actually didn't care. Sure the visitors are family and we all have underwear. It was my mother who was nearly claiming the visitors are looking and perving on my underwear and I really doubt that very much.

My mother had an intense reaction of pure hate and anger due to me having underwear drying.

Was I expected to shovel them deep into my laundry basket and just leave them there for three months until the visitors are gone. If I have clothes and laundry to wash I am going to do it.

I opened the dishwasher last week to put a plate in and then came another round of shite from her. Where she ordered me not to start it yet. I wasn't going to and it didn't look full yet and she didn't need to tell me not to start it half empty. I was only putting a plate in.

Put them on a clothes horse in a bedroom along with a dehumidifier. I pretty much always dry our washing that way, 4 hours and it's done.
