So annoying

Okay I’m sure this sounds so stupid on my part but here we go.

My MIL was staying in town with us the other week. While she was here she did the dishes. No one asked her to and she would do it before everyone got up in the morning. She can’t stand for a sink to have dishes in it. Doing the dishes is my husband’s task and his only one at that.

Anyways, I just bought a brand new pack of towels from Sam’s Club. MIL would always comment in the past about how we need new towels and how I needed to make sure they were clean for my toddler. Hey they were washed and clean. Might have some discoloring but that’s a kitchen towel! Back to the story… I bought a pack of like 24 white bar towels that I’ve a blue stripping at each end. They were the best bang for your buck and our tight budget.

Whenever she did the dishes she used the towels as dishcloths! She’s use one and throw it in the hamper. I didn’t know until I was doing laundry after she left and found a whole pile of them. They’re all stained. I told/asked my husband about and he said “that’s what she does at home”. What!? Why would you think white towels, brand new at that, were okay and not the sponge that was sitting on the sink?

I didn’t count but she used and stained about half of them. I’m soaking them in oxyclean to try and get the stains out. A couple she used to put meat on and they’re stained from blood running out of the packing.

Again, I’m sure this is dumb on my part but I’m so annoyed. I didn’t say anything to her as it’s done. I guess I should just be thankful that she helped with the dishes, right?
