[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's really odd, but not a big deal, of course. I am always surprised when people talk about new sheets for new AP, as though it's a welcome gift thing. We wash sheets and towels and replace with new as needed. [b]They are part of our household[/b], not a personal item. [/quote] This. Our ap room is not like a dorm room to be repainted with no sheets/towels provided every year. It's actually our youngest's bedroom, except she's still a baby and will transition to sharing a room with her sister first. Our ap is welcome to grab a beach towel from a stack in the closet for going to the pool with the kids. Washing/reusing towels for the next ap is no different. Do you buy new towels and sheets when your family or any guest comes to visit? And if your ap has managed to destroy the items from a single year (or two at most), what did they even do? Smear permanent hair dye on the linens?[/quote]
