Is it okay to do girlfriends washing?

[1stworldproblemss]

Bit of an odd one this haha

I have 10 days off work as I booked it off months ago thinking we would go on holiday but didn't in the end. I thought I'd use this time to spend with my family and get on top of the house work. Today I thought I'd do all the washing, including my children's washing too but I came across a slight issue, for me anyway.

My older sons girlfriend often stays with us meaning his wash basket is full of her stuff too as they usually do their own washing. I'm not sure if it is okay for me to wash her clothes(and underwear too) or if I should leave it.
Leaving and doing everyone else's feels a bit rude though.

Teenagers can use a washing machine. And should. Old enough to have someone stay over, you're old enough to stick the washing machine on. And no I haven't had a tiff with my teenager because I don't have one.

Mine do but if we followed the rule that they should only do their own washing then we would just have the machine on for bits and pieces. So, for example a dark wash of everyone's dark stuff gets done at the same time, a white wash would get done etc.
If DS1 needs a certain pair of jeans washing urgently and there doesn't appear to be enough darks he will go round asking if anything else needs washing so he can have a minimum half full wash.

As I said before it's about helping each other out. It takes seconds to put a wash in the machine and get it going.

Totally agree and 90% of the time they do their own washing. This is just a once every so often occurrence.

Family is about give and take and doing things to make each other's lives easier, as long as it's not one person doing everything for everyone else ask the time there is nothing wrong with bunging a load of washing on!

I've always washed both my sons girlfriends clothes, I don't care who's it is if it's in the basket it's getting washed.

Not relevant but wow, 8 people in one house how do you cope? I find it hard enough with just 4 of us.

I would just make her take it home as long with her self. Like I said it isn't appropriate for her to be washing her clothing at your house and it's also out of order for her to be staying over. If they want to act like they are married then they should move out and into their own place. She has her own home to go to so she should stop treating yours like a hotel.

She is in no way treating my house like a hotel. she does more to help out than my son does and she is a pleasure to have around. I also don't find it inappropriate for her to be staying over or doing her washing here. She has become part of the family now, this evening she got home from work and helped me sort the last of the washing and cook tea. Now we're sat watching a film with my daughter and stepdaughter.

How it is not appropriate for her to be staying over?

Goodness some uptight comments on here. I think it's lovely you have such a good relationship with your sins girlfriend and I'm sure she appreciates the washing. jenny you sound very like my mother when I was a young adult, our relationship now is dire as she never excepted that as an adult I would have adult relationships.

My Dds boyfriend is always welcome, to eat, to sleep and to part of our family.
