How do I tell dh that he didn't flush the toilet?

WomanOfPine · 05/04/2013 03:10

I have just finished feeding dd and quickly went to the downstairs loo, where I found that dh didn't flush the toilet after doing a number 2! I'm so disgusted! Confused
And oddly enough, there was no paper on it....this would explain all the skid marks on his under wear Hmm
I don't get it! What is it with not wiping your bottom after doing a number 2???
Every time I do the laundry I don't dare to look at his underwear, I just quickly throw it in!
I'm so disgusted by this and don't know how to talk about it with him? Or do I just keep quiet?
Although this was the first time he left the loo like this, but I feel I should voice my concerns over it.
I just don't want this to happen again! I almost threw up!!! Confused
Apologies for the disgusting thread...
What would you do?
What would you say?

I would get him to wash his own underwear.

TheFallenNinja · 05/04/2013 03:15

Try this.

Oy, gungy numb nuts, get in there and flush and brush.

Hihi! This made me smile...Smile
I just really don't get it why is it difficult!
In any other aspects he is really clean and tidy...an he does a lot of housework as well...

Eww. Does he think it doesn't touch the sides or something? Teflon shit?

bigTillyMint · 05/04/2013 03:28

Just say "eeeeuuuuwwww DH, you didn't flush the loo and I don't want to see your poo so get in there and flush it NOW! Also I saw no loo paper in there which explains the disgusting skiddies in your boxers. I am not going to wash any boxers with poo on them. OK!"

MarjorieAntrobus · 05/04/2013 03:39

Why didn't you just say to him, "Hey, you forgot to flush the loo!" You could have followed that up with, "And it looks like you forgot to use any loo paper too." And then go on to mention the skiddy pants and how that is a. not normal hygiene, and b. a big turn-off, and c. smelly, and d. has got to stop.

Obviously that conversation gets harder as it goes on, but the opener (ie calling his attention to the unflushed loo) should be as straightforward as telling someone they'd left the freezer door open, say. IMHO, anyway.

I know Marjorie! This only happened now an hour ago, haven't had the chance to talk to him yet, he is sleeping.
I know I'll have to say something...
Now you wrote it, it made me realise its so true...about the turn off Hmm
I don't know why I feel it difficult to say something....

To make you feel better .. maybe .. perhaps he did flush and the paper went away but the poo either didn't leave with it or it popped back up again? Grin

Thanks Ro! Certainly put a smile on my face Grin
Didn't look like hat was the case though...

RoLoh · 05/04/2013 03:54

Just say to him 'Oi, you left a floater, so gross, please check next time. Oh, and wipe your bum properly ffs!' Smile

alwayslateforwork · 05/04/2013 03:54

I would initially assume he forgot to flush and will be mortified... What with it being the first time and all...

I would then also assume (ahem) that it was giant man sized shit, and that he had in fact flushed it which took care of the bog roll, but didn't manage to shift the log itself, what with it being so giant and man sized, and all.

A two-flusher, no less.

I don't do much boxer-peering, but I can't say I'd still be fussing about it half an hour later, I'd have just gone with 'oh my actual god, dh, that's revolting!' As loud as possible to draw his attention to the fact, and then flushed it noisily and elaborately for him.

And then forgotten about it, and peed.

I don't think I'd have bothered to think about it and post for advice on a a parenting forum...

It seems so easy, but I find it so difficult...why do I have to talk about his poo? Sad
I will do it though...I'm curious about his reaction...

The couple of times DP has left Atomic Shit in the loo (being crass, he does humongous 2s. He gets a bloody poop-baby.) I've just crashed into the bedroom (does night shift) and said something along the lines of "fuck sake man check to see if your dump flushed, you disgusting knob!" And then he drags his butt out of bed to deal with it.

Although, not using paper? Oh, he would so be doing his own laundry.

ravenAK · 05/04/2013 04:23

'Dh, you need to flush the loo when you've had a shit in it, you minging grotbeast. Also, do you have special fairies who polish & perfume your bum for you? No, you do not, so WIPE IT. Ffs!'

In our house, all skiddy/soggy pants end up in the Tub of Shame, soaking in a bucket in the bath. The dc thought it was quite hilarious when they spotted a pair of their dad's pants in there. I only had to do it once...

BellaVita · 05/04/2013 04:31

Just say "err you forgot to flush the toilet earlier and I wasn't pleased that I had to do it and btw have we run out of toilet paper as it seems you didn't use any to wipe your skanky arse".

swooosh · 05/04/2013 04:32

My theory...

  • did poo, and wiped
  • flushed then walked away
  • poo was in fact a two-flusher
PebblePots · 05/04/2013 04:34

Grin at raven

SatsukiKusukabe · 05/04/2013 05:00

poo troll anyone?

LegArmpits · 05/04/2013 05:07

Could you not just flush the bog yourself?

pumpkinsweetie · 05/04/2013 05:34

Stick his head down the bog and flush Grin
He sounds dispositively disgusting.
If you cant do the above, ltb

If you can't discuss poo with your partner then you are with the wrong partner IMO.

What kind of fetid fucktruck would leave their skiddy pants for someone else to wash?

AKissIsNotAContract · 05/04/2013 11:29

Just found this on threads I'm on. I don't even remember posting it.

I am angry when I'm half asleep Blush

makemineamalibuandpineapple · 08/04/2013 22:23

At least it's not like my 10 year old son. I have just had to fight his poo down the toilet with a coat hanger. I kid you not. The thing was enormous!! It wouldn't flush. There was paper though.

Pixieonthemoor · 18/04/2013 18:51

Gather up some of his skiddy pants (5 pairs should be enough). Fold them in such a way that the skids are uppermost and obvious then line them up in front of his dinner plate. When he asks "what the hell is going on?", simply say "any more of this and you're on your own, you disgusting specimen". Job done (excuse the pun).
