In-law visits

OP, I hope you never send anything out to be laundered at a hotel. In fact, your hotel sheets commingle with other people’s.

This seems like such an absurd beef. You act like they expect you to hand scrub the underwear on a washboard down by the river.

OP here and it’s more like I’m standing over the washer putting in my clothes and MIL comes running over next to me with 6 of her and fil’s underwear and asks ‘can just add the little items inside with your load of laundry? This is all I need washed!’

What can I say, no you can’t?! Start a separate load after me to wash you 6 underwear?

Yes, you can say exactly that. I would.

Americans are so wasteful.

Just open the washer and request them to drop their clothing in there, then throw in a ride pod and turn it on.

Everyone should volunteer at a nursing home once in a while to put life in perspective.

I run a separate load for FIL who works out in our gym, sweats profusely into 30 year old grossly smelling tattered polyester gymwear. Otherwise he leaves it hanging all over the guest area's woodwork, furniture, etc. (It is literally soaked like it was in a bucket of water). It's the way I've managed. I just wish they would wash their hands (after picking their nose constantly due to untreated sinus issues (MIL) or taking their dog for a poop walk, then picking their nose, then wanting to touch every damn thing in my kitchen. (They have gotten a bit better after wife finally told them to wash hands, after they asked why I was uptight when they visited).

I hate my in-laws so much and visa versa. We’ve reached an agreement that I go on a short vacation when they come and everyone’s fine with it.

Just have your husband be in charge of laundry when they visit and he can deal with it.

Agreed. In a world full of actual problems, this complaint seems absurd.
