In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to a question about how to deal with lazy or messy relatives.
My wife and I bought a condo in downtown Chicago a couple of years ago. We are often not there and have offered its use to friends and family. Our only request is that guests leave the condo tidy when they depart. This includes washing the sheets for the beds they’ve used and remaking the beds.
She puts the sheet on top of the flat sheet on the king-sized bed. She then uses the blanket and the cover that we have on the bed. My wife and I don’t think my sister’s solution is appropriate and are considering telling her that if she is not willing to follow our rules, she is not welcome to use our condo.I once had a well-traveled houseguest bring two sheets and a pillowcase, which she simply slipped over the linens that were on the bed. She then removed her sheets and remade the bed at the end of her stay. I think that’s a great hack.
