[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Didn't realize handwashing was so polarizing!

To answer a few questions just for sport:

-I wasn't analyzing bathroom use. We just have a small house and the guest bath opens right into the kitchen.
-MIL didn't cook on this visit, luckily, but did put dishes away multiple times
-DH will never be the one to say something. When I reminded him that this happened on her last visit and that he and I had discussed it, he said "really? I don't remember that at all"
-MIL is a fan of soap and we actually went shopping for nice soaps for her friends. I think they use them for scenting their linen closets and drawers.
-MIL does not shower on her visits although we have a safe and accessible shower and very nice bathroom and towels. Our sheets yellow after her visits and it's a big production to get them clean, but that's another post.
-MIL has lived here for 50 years but is from a country where many people use different manners in different contexts- at home she adheres to the culture of her family of origin, and in restaurants and public places she adheres to the culture of her native country's former colonizers. Which I guess sort of explains things?
-I could never, ever say something to her which is why I had to blurt everything out here!

This post explains quite a bit. I get it now, OP.
