Her Best Friend Has Been Coming Over To Her House To Do Laundry For A Year, And She Recently Told Her This Has To Stop
A woman has a best friend with whom she has been close for more than 2 decades. Her best friend is lovely, and she really does adore her so much.
Around a year back, her best friend asked if it would be ok to stop by her house to do laundry. She told her best friend it wasn’t a problem at all.
Back then, she was under the impression that this would be a short-term agreement and that her best friend was just in a pinch.
She let her best friend have the code to get into her house in the event that she was not around, and she thought nothing of this.
Now that this has all been going on for a solid year, she gets incredibly anxious, anticipating when her best friend comes to do laundry.
“I love her to death, but I no longer have the patience for her to be at my house all day long when she does laundry,” she explained.
“I’m talking she will come at 9:30-10 am, lounge around the house, and just be here until 5-6 pm.”
“It’s bad enough that sometimes I will make up an excuse and take my toddler and leave for the day, just to get away from her. Because she will sit and drown on about her boyfriend for a solid 6-8 hours and not even ask me a single question. Just talking to talk, and about herself mainly.”
Oh, and by the way, she’s 9 months pregnant and about to have her baby literally any day now, so she really doesn’t want the burden of her best friend taking up space in her house for a whole day.

Earlier yesterday morning, her best friend sent a text stating that she was dropping by to do her laundry.
It irritates her that her best friend never asks; she only tells her when she’s doing laundry and even just walks right into the house without knocking.
“I know it sounds really mean, but I just am very much an introvert, and I value my alone time, and I think at this late in my pregnancy, I just want to be at the house by myself with my toddler and husband,” she said.
“My husband has also been increasingly annoyed with her presence and feels uncomfortable in his own house when she is here because she just stays all day long, lounging around.”
“And kind of expects to be served as I make her lunch and tea and clean all the dishes afterward, etc. She does not offer to do anything.”
A couple of hours ago, she finally let her best friend know that she wasn’t allowed to continue doing laundry at her house.
She offered up an explanation; that she didn’t want anyone around her baby for a couple of months after she gives birth.
Her best friend was not ready to accept that answer, and her best friend clearly was upset with her stating that she was no longer welcome to do laundry.
She’s curious if it was mean of her, after all, to stop allowing her best friend to do laundry at her house, as she really feels terrible about this interaction.
