MIL turned all my washing inside out!

[JanS17]

We are on holiday at the moment with DH’s family (me, DH, DD, MIL, SIL, BIL, and dog).

Yesterday I did a load of washing (mix of mine, DH, and DD) and before we went out for lunch, I hung it all up nicely on the clothes rack and put it out in the sun to dry.

When we got back from lunch, MIL said she had moved a few things around to help them dry faster. I was a bit confused as the clothes were hung up as I wanted them to begin with but shrugged and said ok.

Yesterday evening I brought the rack of clothes inside and found that she has turned every single item of clothing (except socks - thank goodness!!) inside out!!

I am equally confused and pissed off. Why would she see my nicely hung out washing, and think to herself that it’s a good idea to remove every single piece of clothing, turn it inside out, and put it back?? Why was she even touching my washing in the first place???

The clothes are now all creased where she’s hung them crooked, and I have an extra chore of turning them all back the right way round again.

AIBU??

YABU - she was just trying to help (??)
YANBU - what was she thinking??

I think she thought she was doing you a favour however, she should have explained why she did it.

Sun fades the colours and she was probably checking it dried right through.
If I were on holiday I wouldn't be wasting my time writing a post about washing.go out and enjoy the holiday

I acknowledge the posts saying the clothes are inside out as the sun fades them ...

But if that's so, shouldn't we then be wearing them inside out at all hours of the day?

Yeah great idea! I’m sure it will catch on 🙄!

When would be a good time to show the true colours of your clothes?

I think the idea is to try to preserve them as much as possible so they look their best while you're wearing them.

I do it here in the U.K. She was trying to help. Annoying if you to iron them now, maybe she will will help with they too.
