DH cleaned up the dog sick and left it on a dinner plate!

Please tell me I'm not being unreasonable to be pissed off about this. This morning the dog had been sick and my husband cleaned it up before leaving for work.

When i came downstairs i found a pile of sick on a plate left on top of the cooker!! Its bad enough he used a plate but it was one of my nans and its royal Doulton fine china. More sentimental than anything as she died a couple of years ago.

my husband txt me to say the dog had been sick, i said i know i found it on top of the cooker! He is being really arsy now as in his opinion he cleaned up. He said next time i can do it. I said i dont have a problem with cleaning up sick( although im 8 months pregnant so don't fancy it at the moment) it was where he put it. He said he couldn't find anywhere to put it.

I'm really mad with him mainly for the lack of respect for my things and that he doesn't care. I said that to him and he replied what have i got to be sorry about i cleaned it up and i can now forget about going out tonight. We were going to take our sons to see some fireworks.

Would anyone else be mad at this or are my pregnancy hormones blowing it out of proportion?! Feel like serving his dinner on it now if it isn't an issue!

This just takes the term 'lazy as fu*k' to a whole other level!!!!

He couldn't find anywhere to put it??

Did the bin not occur to him?!

And I thought my DH was bad....

alsmutko · 04/10/2014 12:55

YANBU. What an arse. Doesn't he know where the bin is?

Hoppinggreen · 04/10/2014 12:56

Seriously? What an arsehole

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 04/10/2014 12:58

Grim. Not cleaned up if it's still in the house, is it! He should have flushed it down the loo.

AlpacaLypse · 04/10/2014 12:58

Why is he punishing your sons by not taking them to the fireworks because he's pissed off with you?

HavanaSlife · 04/10/2014 12:58

So he couldnt just put it in the bin? And now hes sulking and going to spoil the dcs night. He sounds like an arse

LEMmingaround · 04/10/2014 12:59

Is he 16? Or just a cunt

Glad its not just me then! He said he was running late but the bin is outside the door! So mad at him as its the lack of respect.
Just because i told him i didn't like where he put it he went all defensive about how he cleaned it up as if that makes it ok! He even txt me saying your not still mad about that plate?

Its his fault she was sick anyway, he left the croissants out and she ate all 7 of them!

Shock dirty bastard.

Give him his dinner on that plate without washing it.

Writerwannabe83 · 04/10/2014 13:03

Next time the dog throws up you should 'clean it up' and put it in his underwear drawer or something. Tell him you didn't know where to put it..

Sounds tempting loopylou and writer,
I said if he insisted on using a plate why couldn't he use an old plate that we wouldn't care about throwing away even though using any plate is disgusting but my nans?

Don't know why it should affect the boys going out though, just blackmail.

If he put it on a plate and left it on the cooker do you think he meant for you to cook it for his tea later?
I must admit, I'd be tempted to do that.

missingwordsround · 04/10/2014 13:13

laughed out loud at that yoshi - Grin Great advice!

Nulliferous · 04/10/2014 13:13

Wow. That is beyond grim. The dirty, dirty fucker.

And not taking your DC to see fireworks because you called him on it?

Is he always such a cunt, OP?

TheCunnyFunt · 04/10/2014 13:18

That is rank! Who would even think of putting vomit on a plate ffs!?!

TonyThePony · 04/10/2014 13:23

Maybe he chose that plate because it's rarely used and if he was in a rush maybe he genuinely forgot to put it in the bin but is now defensive and moody?

Maybe not of course, maybe he is just a total twat. Hopefully he's not just a total twat though.

sizeup · 04/10/2014 13:28

What cunny funt said! I don't get it, was the dog sick onto the plate or did he transfer it from floor to plate?! If so what a bizarre, horrible thing to do!
Withholding the trip out as some kind of punishment is a really mean thing to do though.

Username12345 · 04/10/2014 13:33

I'm sorry you have children with this 'man'.

catsofa · 04/10/2014 13:38

Are you making dinner this evening? If so, make something nice for yourselves but give DP something that looks exactly like the dog sick, and serve it on the same plate. What a complete moron.

sanfairyanne · 04/10/2014 13:38

why bother having a relationship with a dick like this?
the sick is gross but wtf with the fireworks strop?
take your kids out tonight and think about what this man brings to your life. if he doesnt make it better, get rid

canweseethebunnies · 04/10/2014 13:39

My dp is notorious for a half-arsed, in a rush clean up (Think sweeping things into the corner, leaving stuff in a handy receptacle etc).

Even he wouldn't leave dog sick on a dinner plate! If he did it would have been by accident, and he would have sheepishly apologised.

dementedma · 04/10/2014 13:45

Leave him some sandwiches on said plate and take the boys out to see the fireworks.

Fannydabbydozey · 04/10/2014 13:46

He sounds really hard work. And a twat.

Go to the fireworks yourself - you're not two, he doesn't need to take you anyway. Twat. He's a twat for the sick and a twat to gat all drama llama and threatening to cancel an outing. Serious twat.

The dog was sick on the carpet and he used the plate to scoop it up! I'm taking the boys out tonight regardless and will eat out with them.

He won't apologise as to him he has done nothing wrong. I told him its not about the dog being sick, he tried to turn it into a competition into who should clean it up, if i saw it first i would do and i would expect him to do the same. I said its the fact he didn't care that i didn't want my nans things used in such a disgusting way. I told him it would be like me using his dads glass that he has and filling it up with sick and leaving it on the cooker, not that that would even enter my head to do.

I think i would rather he left the sick and i cleaned it up properly myself when i came down.
