To ask MIL to stay out of my dirty washing basket?

[Wetwashing00]

Housework is not part of my requirements when MIL babysits.

But she separated my darks and put a wash on.
Whilst it’s very lovely to do that for me it’s quite personal isn’t it?
I don’t want her going through my crusty work socks or period stained pants (they were all in there)

My DH said she’s just trying to be helpful, which I understand.
But I don’t want her to do it. She’s quite touchy and takes offence really quickly so I’m thinking of just hiding the basket next time.

Would it be an option for her to have your DC at her house?

My mil did this. At first I didn't mind but then she shrank my Angora jumper that I'd worn once and didn't own up to it. Just hid it in the clean washing basket. That was possibly the nail in the coffin!

On this occasion no,
But usually the kids go to hers.
