Should I apologise to DH?

Meh. If I found out my DH had left piss on the carpet all day, I’d have shouted at him to go and clean it up properly and not be such a minger, whilst pointing out that I wasn’t actually a maid. So no, I wouldn’t be apologising. But I wouldn’t have cleaned it up either. He would have.

He got what he wanted - you to clean it.

Yanbu to have shouted at him. I would say he needs to cook a few extra meals to make up for it.

It can’t be that hard to learn how to use a Vax…. Does he not know how to Google?
That would piss me off. He didn’t even try. So that’d be my weekend to-do for him - Vax lessons (off his own steam obvs).

I would apologise for shouting @WorldMap24 but I would also say I would show him the best way to deal with an ‘accident’ as he was wrong to leave it/do half a job - he is wrong about the pee but you were a bit mean and owe him an apology for that.

No, he patted piss with a towel. Probably from the family bathroom because it was closest.

He then acknowledged that he didn't clean it up properly because he had three different excuses, two of which were that he couldnt be expected to read labels and one was that he was too busy. He wasn't too busy to come down and chat to OP though and I'm pretty sure he considers himself capable of solving problems at work. But no, not at home.

At home he does the bare minimum to pretend he tried and let's someone else pick up the pissy task.

If he thought he had cleaned it properly he either wouldn’t have mentioned it or just said ‘I sorted it’. He knew he hadn’t done it properly that’s why he told the OP explicitly what he’d done. He doesn’t see it as his job, cleaning up wee and sick etc is woman’s work, he’s much too important to be doing that bearing in mind a quick google will tell you how to effectively clean up such a spillage to maximise hygiene and minimise smell.

He should apologise to her. The OP shouting is not abuse it’s simply someone losing their temper as they are tired and have to put up with a useless and disrespectful DH.

Anyone who doesn’t clean animal urine properly will have a smelly house, they may not smell it but others will. Gross, but each to their own.

I don’t think you know what ‘many’ means. I think most people would be appalled and disgusted by your standards of hygiene.

Bet your house smells nice.

You those people are women? I think we may have some ringers for some weird goady reasons

Who’d have thought a thread started by a woman losing her shit at her (admittedly useless) husband would be upstaged by an even worse woman who happily treads dog piss into her carpet.

Between this, a woman pretending her friend only eats cheese sandwiches and another woman having a meltdown over her husband eating cake she didn’t want anyway, MN is really delivering on the gold so far this year.

No, dabbing it with an old towel isn't cleaning it up enough to be comfortable with.

You shouldn't have shouted.
He should learn how to use the vax, and clean the carpet.

But he did sort it like an ADULT.

He cleaned it up to a degree that many of us would be comfortable with.

If that’s true ..why did he bring the issue to OP and not sort it like an ADULT?

I'd say sorry for shouting but he needs and surely already knows that leaving dog pee is just horrible. He basically left it for you to clean up and that'd annoy the heck out of me.

I’m with you op. Bloke does half a job and then tells you all about his big boy effort so you’ll finish the job. Even though you’re tired and it’s late in the evening.

It’s like when they proudly do all the washing up but leave all the big greasy pans ‘to soak’. 🙄

No wonder we bloody shout. YANBU.

I wouldn’t want to be. Shouting is horrible. Forget about dog piss or whatever, that’s by the by, a partner shouting at me would make me rethink who I am sharing my life with.

Nah, he's a skank! You don't just leave dog pee, or not know how to clean it up, ffs!
Clear up the waste, man (wasteman 👍)

His deliberate incompetence worked and you ended up cleaning it up…to then apologise ..he is utterly disrespectful

If a husband shouted at his wife because she burnt the dinner (weaponised incompetence in his eyes as she doesn’t much care for cooking) is that acceptable, yes or no?

Yes, I love to live in a house that stinks 🤔

Or - no, it doesn't "stink".

But he did clean up. Just not to the OP's desire.

That’s disgusting, surely it stinks?!

Our dog was poorly a few months ago and had a few accidents in DSs room who used this method, by the next day it stank until properly cleaned with the carpet cleaner, and even then I dread what was soaked into the flooring.

Ah, he made her do it 🤔

I won’t be shouted at by another adult for whatever reason (unless I had put a child in actual danger). Fine if you don’t mind but I would. Yes dog pee should be cleaned properly but shouting isn’t justified. I could therefore shout for any reason I deemed shoutworthy but it doesn’t make it acceptable.

I would be livid and raise my voice as well. In fact I did, and DH apologised and didn't do it again.
