I'm cross that the clean bed luxury has been ruined

[StealthPolarBear]

I've changed our bed today and it was overdue. I put the sheet and pillow back on but the duvet cover is a bit damp so has stayed on the airer.
I just went in to find DD lying on our bed, on the sheet in her outdoor clothes.

My definition of outdoor clothes are coats, waterproof overtrousers and outdoor sports stuff e.g. in my case jodhpurs, gilets etc that may get mucky having been outdoors!
Jeans, tops, t shirts etc are just ‘clothes’

Blimey this is all very complicated 😂

Don't fret OP they are just winding you up. I hope you have a better week

Stealth I have reported starzig's outrageous and offensive post

Indoor trainers are plimsoles? My DC is in secondary so they just have trainers, and football or rugby boots. The trainers are meant to be non marking for when they are worn inside, but they are worn outside too when they do outside games other than football and rugby.

@StealthPolarBear thank you for the kind and not at all patronising explanation :p I am familiar with kids wearing plimsolls inside at school but the way you phrased it made it sound like something you do in your house!

One time I had sex in our bed. We contaminated the sheets, covers and pillows. I still feel ick when I think of it.

Stealth, ignore them! They are just winding you up. In the main I agree with you, it’s everyone else that are just weird, I mean, who lies in bed in day clothes, that’s just odd 😂

Crikey, I’ve now added another clothing category, day clothes include clothes worn at night but not to bed 😂

Mumsnet is fucking bonkers at times.

We have the same rule and also call it "outside clothes"

You're welcome riotlady. At my dc school they wear trainers rather than plimsolls

Believe me huggy it's like youre talking about nuclear physics. Difficult concepts.

Bloody hell, starzig! Pack it in.

I wash and replace my duvet cover on the same day. It was expensive, it's my favourite, and it feels soooo much nicer than my other ones.

And it saves folding the clean one which I hate so so much

I just can't get over how people think that is OK !!!!!

What, comparing someone with strong views on bed linen cleanliness with someone who is a violent abuser? Yeah I don’t think anyone thinks that’s ok.

MN seems to have lost its sense of humour today!

YANBU @StealthPolarBear

Your own clean sheets are to be dived into in a fuzz of pure, well earned, bliss.

Next time you have clean sheets, lock DD up

@starzig you're embarrassing yourself.

Ps omg views which I entirely agree with. Because she is right. Hence Stealths Law.

Strong. Not omg.

Oh my goodness, I was chatting on messenger with stealth earlier and said she'd been slaughtered in this thread but now she's been accused of being abusive!

Her dd hangs out with mine, they are in and out of each other's houses. She is a joy to have around, enthusiastic, polite and generally fab. She is sporty, gets stuck in, gets messy and so on. Her mother is allowed to have basic rules around the home. I've known stealth for upwards of 12 years, she is not cruel. Quite the opposite.

But sometimes I'm very naughty and hang the washing out in my pj's.

I may even pull a weed up whilst I'm at it.

Then, oh then, I go back inside. And I sit on my sofa.

Dear god, shoot me now.

I'm imagining SPB/OP has plastic covers on her sofa

Basic logical rules are fine. You can't lie down on a bed? Not so much.

Why is clean bed luxury though?

Can someone please explain this.

In a bed. In.

I don’t necessarily agree it’s wrong, but I can definitely see the difference between lying on a bed and getting into bed with your clothes on.
