Washing pajamas/sheets

[Anonymous]

13,yo - not yet smelly, takes shower every night, wash PJs once a week, pillow case every week, sheets every 2 weeks.

16 yo takes shower morning after wake up, mid day if he was doing anything sweaty, and before bed. Same washing like above.

But I do know they wear PJ pants between shower and going to bed, but generally sleep in undies, as I understand ( see pants on the floor near bed often).

Pjs are one use only. Shower at night. Sheets maybe every two weeks. And pjs are shorts and a t shirt.

16 yo showers 2-3 times a day??? that wouldn't fly in my house. We have to preserve water!

My teens shower before bed and change PJs (they sleep in sweats and t shirts) nightly. Sheets are changed by cleaning lady every 2 weeks.

I just think that you would somehow know living in the same house for years.

DH went in there to have a casual conversation about puberty and growing up and changes bodies go through. He left a big box of tissues by the bed, and DS's laundry usage in the mornings have gone down.

And that is about the crux of it.

I say when teens, male or female, begin leaving bodily fluids of certain types on the sheets or underwear then it's time for them to do their own laundry! Other moms know exactly what I'm talking about. And yes it's thr same for girls!

Exactly. EVERY mom here who does the laundry would be lying if she says she doesn't "observe" things and doesn't take "mental notes" based on the rather intimate act of doing the laundry.

I got my period when I was 13, and although I was enjoying certain activities nightly for about four years by then, the "evidence" of those activities, plus getting my period, got to the point where I decided it was high time to have more control over my privacy by doing my own laundry. Clothes, underwear, sheets, all of it.

When my roommates at college still went home every weekend to have mom do their laundry, I was like, "Ewww! How didn't start doing it yourself like five years ago?!?"

What evidence? If your female!?

Sheets we change every 2 weeks. Pajamas every 2-3 days because they shower in the morning not at night.

All you monitor what pjs your kids are wearing? My 13 yo takes a shower, puts on pjs, sleeps. I have no idea which ones, then Gets up gets dressed before I see them in the morning. I couldn’t tell you if they wear the same for 5 days or change every day.

What do you mean?

My kids wear clean pajamas after every shower, so every day or every other day - this is their preference and how they've done it since they were little. We change sheets every 1 or 2 weeks.

It's extremely creepy when mamas like you come on here and brag about how their sons sleep naked. I hope you're okay.

Our family wears pjs 2-3x before washing. Sheets are e/o week. If pillowcase smells sooner, we have extra of those and switch it. Only husband does that - the rest of us are girls.

DP here. Just as creepy as a mother calling another mother (or herself) “mama.”
