Ok. For our weekend house/hunting camp, we have a cool old southern style house (not antebellum, but close) Lots of bedrooms. Old, dusty. Leaks air. Hit and miss on the HVAC. Always beating back the mice, etc.

Anyhow, my wife and my father are in a heated dispute. He says that when we leave for the weekend, we should change and wash the sheets. Leave the beds made up for the next weekend.

My wife hates that idea. She thinks of mice and snakes and dust and all that. So she strips the beds and leaves fresh, folded sheets and pillow cases on the foot of the bed. That way, she knows they're clean when she puts them on at the beginning of the weekend.

What say OT Ballers? Who's right?

That's the way to do it in a camp house with the issues you've described.

Growing up, we had an old, drafty, pre-fab cabin at Kentucky Lake. We kept the sheets, pillowcases and blankets put up until we got there, and my mom would give them to us to make up the beds. Before we left, she would wash them and put them back up.

After my folks improved it and doubled its size (of course, well after I got out of college), it's now more like a second home and they leave the sheets on the beds.

Your wife. I was in a similar situation in a hunting club, and we left the sheets folded in a plastic trash bag on the bed and made them up when we got there.

The wife is correct, though I always put the sheets somewhere where mice were unlikely to tread.

The consensus seems to be: If it's a House, then leave the beds made up. If it's a Camp, then leave the beds stripped.

It's kind of in between. It's a 4000-sf house. It's just old and has some deferred maintenance.

My inclination is to agree with my wife. Because she has the vagina. But my father still controls the money.

It's putting me in a terrible squeeze. Between pussy and money.

we go and stay at a family friends cabin for a fishing trip once or twice a year.

our policy is that we bring our own sheets. We take theirs off, fold them, put them up, put ours on, take them off at the end of the trip, put theirs back on and make it clear that we did not use them.

the family that didn't use them is awesome and would never be petty about something like this, but we think it's the most respectful way to do this.

this year they had no sheets on the bed and it was easiest.

Bringing your own sheets makes you a good houseguest.

It's amazing how many people just leave on Sunday with a wave. Don't offer to clean up. Don't offer to contribute to the maid, etc.
