To expect her to change the sheets?

[Blahblahy]

Just that really.

Went to stay with friends (it'd been arranged a month beforehand so wasn't springing it on them) and went I got in to bed I found a pair of bed socks between the sheets so bed clearly hadn't been changed since someone had slept in it.

Dh is all, 'whatever, I don't know why you bother changing our sheets every time someone stays a night.'

I'm not pissing blood or speechless with rage, more a little 'yuk, not great manners.'

Does everyone else change sheets when someone's stayed at their house or am I ott in doing this?

No I always strip and wash out spare bed after guests stay

Always change the sheets!

Ewww! Grim.

That's really disgusting. It's basic hosting to change the sheets between guests. If you can't be bothered to do that then you really shouldn't have people to stay. Not nice.

Always change unless it's one of dd's friends sleeping in ds's bed while he's away. I reckon a teenage girl in pajamas doesn't make much difference.

I always give guests clean sheets!!!

Eww, gross. Yes I'd expect (and as host would provide) clean sheets.

Yes all my guests get clean bedding, and I change it when they've gone. I thought that was normal ...?

Always clean sheets and towels provided for every guest in this house. Often strip the bed when leaving if I've stayed overnight at someone else's house.

I'm fairly relaxed about that sort of thing but even I would have changed the sheets for you, OP.

That's pretty grim.

I change the bedding between guests too. I wouldn't want to sleep in second hand sheets, so I wouldn't make anyone else either.

Manky!

Always clean sheets, yuk.

Yanbu... But to play devils advocados, guests sit on a sofa people might have been sleeping on the previous day.

Actually, sofas are kind of ming.. are you meant to hoover them, or clean them?

Bit clueless I have realised...

I'm not very fastidious about stuff in general but bloody hell, yes, I'd always put clean sheets on for a guest! Surely that is basic stuff?!

I would but have slept in ones that someone else has been in but host openly said so and was mutual friend so I didn't mind

I do for expected guests, but for all and sundry hangers on of student age children who have arrived for sunday dinner who decide that staying over is the best option....they must take their chances. I cba stripping beds and remaking beds after feeding them!

Beds are stripped after sweaty boys though. ;)

Ha. Fuck you dh. Will show him this thread.

I suffer from OCD so it's hard to know when I'm being ott about cleanliness sometimes.

Sofas actual make me a little >> not envy sometimes. We have a different friend who is pretty messy, has dogs, cats, five kids and a sofa that is really stained and smelly. Last time we were there they suggested we eat on our laps and I was trying not to barf or scream.

How do you know they hadn't been changed? I sometimes find stray socks in our bed because they have stuck in there after going through the tumble dryer.

I'd stay over at friend's houses when I was single and share their beds. They probably weren't clean but it didn't bother me so much then. Although if I knew a friend was coming to mine to stay in advance and share my bed I'd change the sheets.

We used to live close-ish to my in laws and would regularly stay on a weekend so they could watch DD and we could go for a few drinks at the local with DH's childhood friends, and my MIL wouldn't change sheets if we were staying in the bed again for one night... but I suppose that's different because we were the only ones staying there

It was two socks right down by where the feet were. And the sheets didn't smell clean either.

It's grim if someone has been sleeping in there, but if one of us goes to bed early, the other might sit in the spare room bed to read. I wouldn't change the sheets after sitting in it for half an hour. Might be what's happened here?

Yuck. Guests = clean bedding.

True. Might be. I know they'd had a massive row a few days before so it's pretty likely he'd been sleeping in another room.
