By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

I actually handed a rag and cleaner to a guest, many years ago, and said, "You need to clean your mess up or leave and never come back."
Sorry, that got to me. I had 4 daughters and I taught them to properly and hygienically dispose of their 'feminine' stuff. And with 5 women on the same cycle--yeah it got crazy, but it wasn't a bloodbath.
On the OTHER hand, my 6'5" husband stands to urinate and it's like a water show on the Vegas strip. I make him sit down. My son also. I remember once spraying some pre-wash on the shower curtain and it made the urine turn blue...oh, my, gosh...it was so gross. I had no idea.
My son has 3 sons. He bought a home that actually had a 'man cave' in the basement and the bathroom had a urinal. They LOVE it.
I don't blame her about the washer. I have a 36 yr old original Maytag. (Manufactured by Whirlpool now) My wash goes thru the longest cycle (12 min) in a half hour at most. Not my daughters. She has newer ones with all the bells and whistles, which she doesn't use. It senses this and that and takes an hour to wash. Same with the dryer, it senses when there is no more moisture. I will stick with my, delicate and normal and heavy settings and set my own level of water. My dryer, I can pretty much tell where to set the heat. Thank god for my repairman that I very rarely need.
Congrats on turning 50. At 72 I wish I was 50 again.
Gotta keep a sense of humor.
I would have staged the bathroom to look like a party had taken place in there and I am working as fast as I can to get the house back in order but, sorry haven't reached your bathroom yet. Just to mess with her for assuming my friends were nasty.
I think she was being ugly trying to ruin your fun because she didn't get to stay and be the center of attention.
God bless you for taking this on. It is difficult at best, then add a nasty MIL attitude and, oh somebody just shoot me!
Finding a way to let it roll off your back, learning to tell her no and calling out bad behavior is the only way I know to survive this, not necessarily in that order either.
