DH not changed bedding for 4 weeks

[peachescariad]

He's in a separate bedroom. Flithy f**ker not changed his bed for 4 weeks, so this morning I asked him if he was thinking of changing his sheets as he's been in them for 4 weeks.....he doesn't have a clue how long they've been on....If I had not mentioned it, I wonder how long he'd have kept them on.
He's in our son's room and he's coming back end of July so have ordered some nice new bedding for him 😄

Sweat, body oils? I wear pj’s and change those. Bedding monthly.
Towels each time I run the machine.

Allegedly Jackie Kennedy had her bedding changed twice a day when she lived in
The White House. First thing in the morning, then again in the afternoon/evening when she had had a nap.

You poor thing.

I've been having to strip and wash mine every day in this heat, I can't tolerate it and I've started having night sweats this year, getting more frequent and the weather doesn't help.
He should be washing them though op, his mess and all that.

I am no eco warrior but I am agog that someone would use that much water and energy daily.

There’s a microbiologist on TikTok who swabs things to see how clean they are and someone asked him to do towels.
I was very relieved to see there was little difference in what was cultured in the incubator off the clean towel swab V the swab from towels used for one week.

I can’t get worked up about 4 weeks. I usually try and do it more than that, I aim for once a fortnight, but I’ve definitely left it 4 weeks in past.

And towels is when I remember l, when I think they start to smell 😂

Meh. It's only him. And it's not that bad!

I can go months without washing mine, it just never occurs to me and I shower every morning. Seems like I’m an outlier on this thread though so am prepared to be called a slob.

Your dh sleeps in your dc's room and you monitor his sheet changing routine? What what has happened to your relationship that checking his sheet changing is even a thing?

One of life’s little pleasures is getting between freshly laundered sheets after having had a shower and dried off with a clean, fluffy towel… 😎

All of you who change weekly or fortnightly, do you shower before bed?

I don't change my sheets for a month, sometimes, if it's cold and winter, even more..... but I shower every night before bed religiously and I'm squeaky clean and I change my pyjamas often.

I'd guess that my setup is probably cleaner than many. Enough with everyone's judging!

Ours have been on longer than that. CBA washing bedlinen until it's practically walking itself into the machine 😂

My bedroom is 28c Im not changing bedding in this. ive downed tools. And that will include when the HA comes here in two weeks time if the weather is still like this.

I've tried sleeping on towels but I still soak all the way through, I mean I'm dripping from every part of my body, it's disgusting, sometimes I wake up and my finger tips are pruned.
Any helpful suggestions welcome, no one wants to be stripping and making up a double bed everyday do they.

Good grief OP! He does he own bed washing! And remaking of his bed. He's an adult not a toddler 😮

You don’t change them for him?

Im having to have much more than one bath a day because a bath is all i have. No shower. Social housing. Im not being a sweaty mess cos the fucking HA are too tight to put a shower in. ive asked twice and been refused twice

Gross.

Bedding should be changed every single week.

Not planet-friendly but...bed mats? I'm sure there are some reusable ones that would be smaller to wash every day than the entire double bed sheets.

Does his room/bedding stink? Does he smoke/eat in bed/ have incontinence?

As long as he cleans it fully for your son's return it's up to him how often he changes it. Unless it's genuinely causing a health hazard.

But it sounds like you're not going to be sharing a bed with him which is fair enough. There's no reason why you should clean all the sheets. Can he sleep on a camping bed? Or does he have another home to go to?

He is presumably a fully functional and capable adult.

Yes. It's my bedtime wind-down routine.

Grim. Does he take care of his personal hygiene generally. I wash sheets weekly for myself and DH, I don’t want to sleep
in grimy bedding, we both shower before bed. I also shower on the morning, thanks perimenopause..

My husband comes home to a clean, orderly house. He works hard to support our family so at the very least I can make the bed.
