Of course, I agree Pillow and bed covers should be changed but not in every alternate 3 days. My wife always changes them every alternate 3 days. I feel she is just wasting soap, electricity, water and extra 2 hours labour, every alterate 3 days due to changing the Pillow and bed covers. We used to quarrel about it often. But my wife refuse to accept my suggestion of changing them once in a week. What shall I do.

I unerstand that problem with mites being in the bed, but I like you dont think it needs to be every 3 days. Here is some advice. This makes your wife happy. A happy wife means you will be happy. A unhappy wife means that you will be unhappy. Let me ask you what do you want? I would suggest that you should just let your wife have her way, and you will be happy changing those sheets every three days. wink

If the "wasting soap, electricity, water, and extra 2 hours labour" isn't that big of a deal ie. you can afford it, I would just let it go. Some people say it is important, some people say it isn't. I don't think it's an argument either of you can "win" unnecessarily. Obviously it makes her happy to do it, so let her. There are probably things that you do she finds unnecessary that she should let you do as well. :) Good luck working this out with her!

Accept her decision :). This is how she likes to do it. This is how she wants the beds to be. She should be admired for such cleanliness! Give her a hug, tell her how wonderful she is. She deserves it.

I try to change ours every week or so...I don't like taking everything off the bed and washing it, then having to make the bed again. It is one of those chores that I don't like doing at all!! At least your wife is keeping things clean =) But every three days is too much for me =)

Perhaps you guys sweat a lot in bed so it will need more frequent changing of the sheets. Let her have her way. She likes to be clean. Perhaps she does the changing sooner because she smells sweat smell on the bed.
