[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised your daughter wants to go at all then.  If the sheets smell and are dirty the rest of the house must be too.  Doesn’t his sister find it weird your kid is stripping the bed and bringing her own sheets?

I think it is rude to do that, to be honest.  If you don’t like their level of hygiene, then don’t go.  Or go but don’t spend the night. Save sleepovers for your house.  But bringing your own sheets is a bit much[/quote]

OP here,

My daughter is the only child and I think she does enjoy being around her cousins but she's also a very picky kid. I will definitely sit down and have a conversation with her. I always ask her when she comes back from a sleepover, how everything went and if she behaved herself as a guest. I know we're all family but still need to behave and follow the families rules and regulation. I'm assuming my sister-in-law didn't notice that my daughter was changing her bedding when she gets to her house. My husband and I think they might be having money issues, he's close to the husband and he will have a talk with him to find out what we can do to help. If it's a financial issue nothing else.

I agree you need to talk with your daughter.  It is incredibly rude and offensive that she is bringing her own bedding when she hasn't been asked to do so.  You just don't do stuff like that if you're going to be a good guest.  Your daughter needs to learn that being a good guest means that she doesn't do things that will hurt the host's feelings.  Certainly your husband should talk to the BIL but you guys both need to talk to your daughter about being a better guest.[/quote]

No. It's not rude to bring a sleeping bag or pillow if you're a child staying over. It doesn't sound like this was an issue with the SIL until Op's husband brought it up so indelicately. But it's not "incredibly rude and offensive" it might be more rude and offensive to expect your guests to sleep on dirty linens and offer them unclean towels. Who does that?[/quote]

Bring your own linens?  Not unless you're told to.  It is horribly rude to bring your own linens because it says that the host's linens are not up to your standard.  If that is your feeling then you shouldn't be staying there.  Were you raised under a rock?[/quote]

:lol: ok. I just don't stay at filthy places, I don't care if someone like you would be offended. But it's totally appropriate for kids to bring their own things, as I said. But keep pretending its the guests responsibility to make the host feel comfortable, not the other way around.[/quote]
