I would definitely feel weird if MIL was all up in my dirty clothes lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576468 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 01:03:23 +0000 Boogs 2576468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate it. I have my ways with laundry and I don't like anyone helping. I would appreciate the thought and effort, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576463 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 23:47:17 +0000 youboots 2576463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.scarymommy.com/mother-in-law-behaviors" rel="nofollow">http://www.scarymommy.com/mother-in-law-behaviors</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576460 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 23:10:01 +0000 ALV91711 2576460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love it!</p> <p>When MIL has been to visit she'll usually help by folding or she cleans the kitchen/floors. She lives fr away though, so this doesn't happen often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576459 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 22:59:50 +0000 birdofafeather 2576459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Invite her over more often. 😂</p> <p>But seriously, I would love if when MIL came over to "help" she actually did help. Instead of me cleaning up around her. 😆 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576383 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 19:17:18 +0000 lemondrop 2576383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see it as a big deal, I would appreciate it, but I'd prefer she relax instead of work when she does get the chance to visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576381 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 19:05:43 +0000 Canoli 2576381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I would be very annoyed. I am very particular about my laundry and how it gets washed and what gets air dried. Plus I love doing laundry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576374 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 18:48:31 +0000 Jess1483 2576374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I appreciate when she does the sheets and towels they use if they leave in the afternoon (though she always at least throws them in the wash even when they leave early.) Beyond that, I'd find it invasive. But my mom occasionally does our laundry (she does grandma care), and it doesn't bother DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576372 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 18:43:36 +0000 fancyfunction 2576372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's done it a few times and I have no problem with! But I'm also not that particular about laundry - it always seems to come out fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576304 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 16:19:17 +0000 sunny 2576304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No thanks! MIL can't follow directions. </p> <p>When I was on bed rest, I asked my mom to help out with my laundry and that was fab. She takes really good care of her clothing and I knew she would do the same with ours. I put my dirty undies separately and I had my husband do those because that was where I drew the line. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576295 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 16:06:20 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2576295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if I asked for help would I appreciate this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576291 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 15:59:30 +0000 MaryM 2576291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't mind if my mom did it (I mean, she's folded my clothes before, and she taught me how to fold boxers). And I'm pretty sure she'd ask first. I did some of her laundry while she was on vacation recently and I was staying at her house. </p> <p>But I do think it'd be weird if my MIL did it. But I could never imagine her taking that initiative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576279 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 15:46:00 +0000 sapphire 2576279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like other people doing my laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576240 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 15:01:57 +0000 Truth Bombs 2576240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This would be a huge breech of boundaries in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576232 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:57:04 +0000 daniellemybelle 2576232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not love or hate... Appreciate while cringing. Ha. My MIL did some laundry while she was here last and I cringed majorly that she did my underwear. But I knew it was a kind gesture and appreciated it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576185 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:27:44 +0000 MoonMoon 2576185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwear! Keep your hands off my underwear!</p> <p>But I could see how the intention behind it would be nice, especially, say, with a new baby around.</p> <p>My MIL would never to that, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576179 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:21:01 +0000 Rocker2014 2576179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my own MIL, that would be great! I have an awesome MIL who has really great boundaries and is so helpful with chores but always asks how I personally like things done before doing them. </p> <p>BUT, I totally get how in general this would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576164 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:00:44 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2576164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's weird.. I don't want anyone doing my laundry but me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576163 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:00:19 +0000 littlebug 2576163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HATE it. She came over one time to watch D when he was sick. I had baskets of laundry sitting outside of our laundry closet. She asked if I wanted her to do them. I told her, no, they were clean. I came home and she'd folded them. My underwear and bras and other stuff. NO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576155 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 13:55:02 +0000 autumnlove 2576155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576092 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:58:50 +0000 agold 2576092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd hate it. I don't want my MIL looking at my undies. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576090 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:54:52 +0000 mrsrain 2576090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as she asked first I'd love it! If she just went into our closet and got the laubdry I would be pretty uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over/page/2#post-2576087 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:53:47 +0000 lamariniere 2576087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, no, no, no! We lived with my ILs for 9 months and occasionally my MIL would just swoop in, take our clothes and wash them without asking (even though I am always on top of laundry). I hated it. I hate having people go through my dirty laundry and I've been doing my own laundry since I was 11. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over#post-2576081 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:48:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 2576081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feels like an invasion of my privacy. My MIL lived with us for a few months in between selling and buying a new house and did our laundry (without being asked / without asking) and reorganized my entire closet without asking me. It definitely was weird and felt like an invasion of privacy, even though I know she only meant well and meant to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over#post-2576075 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:41:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2576075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be very weird! Kid laundry hell yes. Towels- yes! But not my underwear. My mil would never do that without asking though. </p> <p>@Miss Ariel: my mil does this. Generally if it gets lean I don't care how, but she has put our good knives in the dishwasher and Dh had to tell her not to. Don't most people hand wash good knives? </p> <p>My mom I would be totally cool with washing my underwear too. 😀 but not dhs. That would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over#post-2576067 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:35:16 +0000 hilsy85 2576067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be really annoyed if she did my laundry. Kid laundry is fine--but even then, if she did it without me asking/without her asking, i'd be annoyed. I do sometimes ask her to fold dry laundry, which she always offers to do anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over#post-2576065 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:32:04 +0000 Mama Bird 2576065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would never ever happen, and good thing, because that's way too personal. Help watching the kids? I'll take it any day. Doing my washing and cleaning? No thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over#post-2576040 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 11:57:00 +0000 PinkElephant 2576040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be totally ok with her folding it (which she does), but I'm picky about detergent, stain treatment, water temp, cycles, etc., so prefer to do my own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over#post-2576036 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 11:52:42 +0000 Adira 2576036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HATE it! I don't even like it when Hubs does the laundry, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-mil-did-your-laundry-everytime-she-came-over#post-2576035 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 11:52:22 +0000 SweetiePie 2576035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: I would agree with that! If she folded a clean pile of laundry that would be great. Just not my underwear. </p>
