To send a diary reminder to DH to change bedding for his friends

[burnedoutskivvy]

DH has booked a few work trips this month and has also invited friends to stay for a weekend at the end of it.

I have just realised he will expect me beds to be changed, and clearing up of the mess in the bedrooms.

I have too much on; he isn't going to do it. The children are hoarders - it's not a one-hour job. I'm looking for advice on how not to crack.

I’m a bit confused by this thread.

Where will your children sleep once they’re turfed out of their own beds for visitors?

Your set up seems unusual OP. Most of us would tell DH there was no room for visitors other than sofa, and he would have to do any tidying/bed making/ catering.

Has he always been this incompetent?

i am very blessed.. my DH is obsessed with laundry and has a strict schedule for bedding! i don't want to brag or anything but i haven't done laundry in the 11 plus years we have been together 😂

It really doesn't seem that you're in a good position to host guests right now OP, so why not take all the stress off and just cancel for now? Then make a plan for everyone to do some cleaning up and getting rid of stuff they no longer want and once the house is back to an acceptable standard, then re invite your guests?

Well he shouldn't have invited guests when he is away and assumed you would do all the associated work

But this sounds horrible for your kids, being put out of their room, and even having their stuff (junk to us, not to them maybe?) thrown out to make it presentable as a guest room :-(

Could you put the guests in your room and you sleep on DC room. Then you could just not care about the mess in there.

Thanks for all the suggestions! The guests can't all go in our double bed so the children will need to bunk up in one room, which they'll be fine about. And they have done some tidying up this evening. It will be good enough.
