Every night I go around collecting the masks my family has used that day. I put them in a mesh laundry bag so they don’t get lost in the machine. Husband and daughter think I’m a little nuts. They don’t quite get why they should change their mask every day.
So I said to them…
You should change your mask as often if you change your underwear
They looked at me blankly.
So I’m grateful that I have other things that I’m good at, because I’ve definitely failed as wife, mother and family matriarch.

Some reuse their unwashed underwear – wear it inside out. (YUCK!!) I wonder if they do the same with masks.😉🤔

😀 Is that when they admit to not cleaning underwear often, because that’s what happens around here…

Don’t jump to conclusions. Your children will someday remember how you lovingly washed their masks every day. Kids do become adults, eventually.

You have gotten your family through the (hopefully) worst of the pandemic in NYC (!!) no less. I’d say that’s a total success.

I live in a household where I am the only female, so the “blank stare” you got when you said to wash your mask as often as you wash your underwear was right on target! lol It’s like talking to yourself and hearing dead static.

It’s times like these that I’m grateful for the OCD tendencies of my two younger kids amd my hubby. My oldest is the one that would probably have gone a few steps beyond just the blank stare. I still shudder when I think about how nasty that room was after OC moved out.

I laughed. My fellows don’t care how often I wash their masks, as long as they are dry when they need one. They liked the way I hung them in the sun next to the hummingbird feeder.

I mean, never mind covid germs, just breathing on the inside of your mask makes the mask kinda icky after a few hours?

Ha! Don’t blame yourself, when our children were young, we had no idea that the rules of wearing a face mask correctly were ever going to be something they needed to know. As for husbands, well….maybe they are treating their face masks like underwear. Who knows if they change them daily or not?

If I’m healthy I’m not breathing germs into the mask. If I’ve already got Covid I’m unlikely to make it worse by using a dirty mask.
I really don’t see any problem. 🙂
