...to not change the bedding?

[LouiseD29]

MIL has been staying in our spare room for a couple of nights. She left this morning and I have a friend coming to stay tomorrow night. WIBU not to put clean bedding on for friend? Or maybe just fresh pillowcases? MIL is pretty clean.

Just for background, I have a 12 week old DD and our washing machine is on the blink (think it's just the plug fuse, but not had chance to look at it yet).

So, AIBU? Or is that just a bit icky of me?

Personally I think it'd be a bit u. Bedsheets should be changed in between guests. Can you not pop to a laundrette?

definitely icky!

how would you feel if a B&B did this to you?

and I am no clean freak - I change the bedding every 3 weeks - and if someone was coming to see us for one night a month, I would leave it several stays before changing theirs, especially if drying it was an issue.

friends for sleepovers, I wash the sleeping bags after every use

Totally icky. Sorry - not what you want to hear but yuck.

Oh no, don't do that, its a bit icky.

I can understand that washing right now is a pain in the a*, but do you not have a spare set of bedding you can use? I would change it and take both sets to the laundrette next week when I have time or wait until the washing machine gets fixed.

Ewww!

Do you have a spare change of bedding, so that you can change without needing to wash right away?

Mind you, I'd be tempted to do it if this was the other way round and leave icky sheets for Mil [evil grin]

Turn the sheets over. Fresh pillowcases. I would

Yeah it's icky, but I'm a stickler for cleanliness and infection control

It wouldn't be fair. Would you mind if it was yourself or..?

It wouldn't bother me at all to use the same sheets, just not fussed about stuff like that.

I never have anyone to stay so not a problem that arises.

Saying that I regularly sleep my friends house, her boyfriend on the sofa and sleep in bed together so I suppose that's only the same if not worse

MIL left BIL's double unchanged for me and DH to sleep in when we visited years ago. It was liberally sprinkled with pubes and I was horrified.

Ask your friend to bring sheets etc if she cares.

Ask your friend to bring sheets etc if she cares

What the fuck hahaha.

'if you want clean sheets tonight you'll have to bring your own'

imagine

If I were staying with a friend, and she phoned me to say that her washing machine had broken, would I mind bringin a sleeping bag or shhet with me, I wouldn't mind in the slightest. In fact, I'd be a bit cross (keep in mind there's a new baby in the house) if she didn't ask me if I could help her out in these circumstances.

Not sure what's so shocking about that Strumpton ?

I would far rather be told "If you want clean sheets bring your own" than discover I'd been sleeping in someone else's dirty sheets.

I actually skipped the bit with the broken washing machine - well fuse changing - so ignore me

Yabu - it's not nice at all to expect your friend to sleep in dirty sheets.

Do you have literally no other spare bedding that you could take to the launderette after?

Otherwise ask your friend to bring sheets as your WM is broken.

agree with other later posters I would ask the friend to bring clean sheets why on earth considering your home circumstances would she mind?

It would be yuck to leave them. I would hate that.

Deffo change the sheets

Yes Id ask her to bring bedding explaining that the washine machine is on the blink
I often do this as I don't have enough duvets when family visit

I always take a sleeping bad when I go to friends as it seem a lot of work for them

Not with family though as I usually wash the sheets before I leave

I have low standards but this would be ick to me!

My Mil did this to us at Christmas. She left the sheets on that DHs DNs slept in. It was YUCK

If I had know, I would've been happy to take bedding with us.

Your friend will understand

Congratulations on the baby
