Just out of curiosity I thought I would ask the advice of mumsnetters to see if I'm the weird one.
My DH and his parents who are currently staying with us have an obsession with germs.
I always shower in the morning and the evening too most days. They shower just in the evenings. I change my clothes daily. They all have 2 sets of clothes in use at any one time. They have clothes they wear indoors and when it's time to go out they change. As soon as they are home they change back into the home clothes. They won't even sit on the sofa in clothes they have been outside in. They look at me when I sit on the sofa in my outside clothes as though I have 2 heads! These clothes I'm wearing are not obviously dirty and neither are their's when they get home. Most of the time i will change into something more comfortable after I've been home a while.Even if they are home for half an hour before they're going out again they still change the clothes. When my mum visits as soon as she leaves MIL does the vacuuming and mops the whole of the downstairs. I find it insulting and have said this to DH. He says it's because his mum doesn't like that my mum wears slippers. The slippers have never been worn outside. There have been so many incidents of this imo odd behaviour in the 3 months they have been staying with us. I'm interested to know everyone's views.
So my question is Am I normal or am I the weird one?
YABU -You are the weird one and clothes should be changed immediately as soon as you are home.
YANBU- They're just clothes. They're not obviously dirty and they are the weird ones
