-Bathroom Rugs
-Hand Soap Dispensers (bathroom and kitchen)
-Disinfecting Cleaner Spray
-Sheets for all beds surrounded by the house

I grew up with all the "accessories" for the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. I not long met my mother in law who doesn't enjoy rugs on her bathroom floor, doesn't have soap to wash your hand with, doesn't have mitt towels, doesn't have Scrubbing Bubbles type cleaner (no cleaner for that fact), most beds lone have bed skirts on them, or the sheets are worn thin.

Is it feasible that she bought all of the mentioned items before and only just never replaced them? I find myself replacing these items monthly or yearly depending on the quality or price.

I am shocked that she can live close to this. I wonder how she feels when she comes to my house. Would this make her discern poor? Or is she oblivious that I consider these things normal?

The situation is that she's a single mother, four kids, three live with her (son is married to me). She make a decent income too.
She might be mentally ill. There is a mental illness that will do the person to not clean themselves or their house. She might not know in attendance is anything wrong.
If your husband grew up in this environment he may not think anything is wrong.
Check beside a health care professional or any social worker.
They will know.
Sheets for all the beds *are* a necessity. Soap dispensers and bathroom rugs are nice. Scrubbing-bubbles types of cleaner aren't really a necessity, but they are convenient.

I grew up near bar soap, and it didn't hurt me one bit. My husband had a soap dispenser, and we use that very soon.

It sounds to me like your mother-in-law might enjoy a shopping trip. But you might want to rethink your priorities a tresses too.
I don't have them, any. They're not luxuries, just not essential. All I can say is i'm glad she's not my mother-inlaw.
Do things how you want them contained by your own house.


She may hold grew up not having these things and never thought about buying them.She may not see them as called for items. Not everyone has the same ways of keeping house and I don't ruminate she is going to judge you by what is in your bathroom. none of her business what you buy or how you hang on to your home.those are normal things you should have surrounded by your house i have them in mine.your not spoiled.she is cheap or gross for not varying her sheets in years.
Answers:    Bathroom rugs are a preference. I did quit using them since some empire leave excessive water on rug so it may not properly dry and receive extra pet quill on it - - we now use a towel to step on & then pick up for washer.

I believe it is mandatory to hold soap at a sink that you wash your hands. In my defence, the bathroom has bar of soap and a dispenser. The kitchen sink is impossible for hand washing - - shift to bathroom to wash since the hand towels are also contained by there.

Personally believe it is mandatory for sheets on all bed and a regular washing routine for the sheets as well for sanitary purposes.

You involve something to clean each surface. When have the enamel coated cast iron tubs, Ajax or Comet was used. With the newer tubs, necessitate a cleanser but not as abrasive. I have a swirl tub and use dish liquid for 'rings' and granular dish washer detergent for jet cleansing instead of the recommended granular chemicals. There again, how can it be sanitary except cleaned.

I utilize germ killing spray disinfectants periodically on all door knob, cabinet knobs, faucets, drains, etc... to prevent spreading of germs and reinfecting each household contestant from colds/flu.

Cleanliness and to stop spread of germs, etc... should be on a mandatory list. Preference to hand dust dishes or a dish washer is similar to rugs on floor. It also depends on life style in household besides personal nouns.

What she thinks about your place? Probably think you are wasting money. Don't worry about what she think; your house is your concern. Her house is her concern. It sure would bother me that there is no soap to wash your hand, though.
