I am not defending anyone. I just said I didn't see it. I also can't say whether or not it is true that the sheets are not washed, since we aren't there 24/7. I have several pairs of sheets but had one set that fit perfectly, for mattresses not 19 inches deep, and I would wash them and put them back on. I will say that I think it is gross to use a comforter without a top sheet, unless the cover is washed every week. Plus, with just a comforter, there is no way to adjust blankets to right comfort level. I always see the house as very clean and tidy, no dishes and stuff all over the kitchen, no toys and clothes all over the floors, no junk all over the bedrooms. The only place I do see toys on the floor is on the playroom, and Chris does get after them to clean up. So I don't get the "they are dirty" comments. I would rather discuss the abuses I know for sure, the violations of their privacy, the teaching of warped values, of forcing them to have false reactions to everything and being unable to trust a word that comes out of their parents' mouths, the total parental indifference to their health, diets, educations and self esteems, etc.
