To make dp and only dp mop every single floor through our house daily ??

[ApocalypseFlangePop]

Drives me mad, if I don't catch him at the door and make him take his shoes off he keeps them on, dosent get the dcs to take theres off either. He dosent see the point, the point is you great gallumph it's pouring down out there and very muddy, you are leaving size 10 footprints in your wake therefore must clean them.

Grr, drives me potty

id make him clean them up deffo! my DP is the same and he also comes in the back door and leaves is boots or what ever there and muggins here picks them up and puts them away even my 3 year old puts his shoes in the appropriate place!!

Soon as I get home, shoes off. T'is the only way, bloody muddy footprints everywhere, not to mention the dust from the rewire we had sticks to it. Grrr, place looks a tip !

Whoever makes the mess, able-bodied adults, that is, cleans it up.

Sounds fair to me!

I am on moppers strike, the place would not need to be mopped through daily if certain people took their shoes off at the door Harumph !

Massive sign on the door saying 'remember to take your shoes off', - yes it's annoying to have to treat him like a child when he should remember himself, but it might save a bit of cleaning.

Ave told him we stopped at 2 children because we/I didnt want a 3rd to look after.

Maybe I should try a reward chart

It's a bit of a mixture in our house - me and DD are always barefoot, DS is 50/50 and DP usually has shoes on. But to be fair he does usually take them off at the door if it is raining outside. TBH I have long given up trying to enforce "no shoes" and just accept it the way it is.

P'ah I wouldn't be ordered to take off my shoes in my own house.

Mayorquimby when it's filthy and muddy outside and a person brings in that muck the result is dirty, filthy floors inside the house.

Which I usually end up cleaning, and i'm a slattern so if it's bugging me it must be bad !

p'ah

lol at p'ah

DP is a builder and comes in dripping dust like bloody Lawrence of Arabia

I snarl.

It is bloody annoying!!

My dh is a builder, and for some reason he thinks he can traipse about a building site all day, and then wear the same trainers round the house???!! And then I'm the one that's nagging.........

I kind of look forward to winter, because at least then he wears boots and always takes them off .

I have found asking DD(2) to "find Daddy's slippers so he can take his shoes off" a very effective method. DD loves finding his slippers and is really bossy. So she gets his slippers and will try to push him over and remove his shoes herself if he is not quick enough.

Otherwise I agree, hand him the mop / vacuum cleaner and then sit down with a large glass of wine.

I am doing !!

It's more annoying that all the plaster etc from the rewire is sticking to the floor and its getting even more farking scratched !

And 'pah' to needless dirty, filthy floors I say.
