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!

That is gross! My dog was sick this morning and it got cleaned up and binned, i was also in a rush but i managed to bin it, wouldn't have thought about putting it anywhere else.Shock

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

And that is precisely what his intention was.

He sounds proper nasty, op.

Oldraver · 04/10/2014 14:53

But he didnt clean up the sick, he just moved it from one place to another, dirty bugger

KatieKaye · 04/10/2014 15:02

Who the hell puts sick on a plate??

that is not normal- that is dysfunctional. And leaving it on the cooker is manky beyond belief. Why on earth wasn't it put in the bin?

Jeepers, if he's that lazy he should have just left the sick on the floor and if your dog is anything like mine it would cheerfully have gobbled it all back up again. Actually, even if he'd put the plate down in front of the dog that would have been better than what he did. TBH it sounds like he's deliberately antagonising you

SamiBE · 04/10/2014 15:04

Hahaha funny!

Spaceboundeminem · 04/10/2014 15:07

Omg thats gross and disgusting!

Fairylea · 04/10/2014 15:17

That is absolutely disgusting. What kind of idiot puts sick on a plate??! Surely you clean it up and put it in the bin!!

I'd be absolutely furious.

sanfairyanne · 04/10/2014 16:06

why is your life enhanced by having him in it?

phantomnamechanger · 04/10/2014 16:13

Mammanat222 · 04/10/2014 16:20

So you and your children are being "punished" because he decided not to clean up the dog vomit properly?

Hmmm, he sounds quite mean as well as completely useless!

TheMaw · 04/10/2014 16:27

That's totally rank and it doesn't even make sense - when I first read it I thought he'd cleaned it up with kitchen roll and left THAT on a plate but you mean he just spooned it onto the plate? I'd be livid, what a cock. And refusing to go out because you've pulled him up? Fuck. That.

PhaedraIsMyName · 04/10/2014 16:36

Why on earth would you clean it like that? Easiest way is loads of kitchen or loo paper on top and scoop it up. Then into the bin or toilet.

He is disgusting and ridiculous.

browneyedgirl86 · 04/10/2014 16:38

YANBU

That is just vile. Utterly disgusting. What a twat. Sorry!

Bulbasaur · 04/10/2014 16:53

It would have been better to just leave it be and ask you to clean it up. Why a dinner plate? Does he not know what paper towels and a trash can are??

(Sometimes I use the dust pan but I rinse it off afterwards)

OOAOML · 04/10/2014 16:59

That seems a really weird way to clean up sick. And why leave it on the cooker? Surely having gone to the effort of scooping it up he would then put it in newspaper or a carrier bag, and put it in the bin? Did he clean the residue from scooping? I can't imagine scooping up sick with a plate was all that easy.

ninetynineonehundred · 04/10/2014 17:20

You are being set up nicely for an argument aren't you Sad
I particularly like the idea that he thinks ' i didn't know what to do with it ' is somehow a valid response. Are you often expected to be the grown up who finds the solution?

ninetynineonehundred · 04/10/2014 17:22

How about moving the sick into dad's glass and give him the same excuse?

Zucker · 04/10/2014 17:26

I agree you're being set up here. He's found something better to do tonight than go to the fireworks with you and children/child, so BINGO do something soooo unreasonable you can't but kick off at him and he's free.

He's an arse.

borisgudanov · 04/10/2014 17:30

That is totally gross. And then he thought that was OK? Twat.

FuckOffFerret · 04/10/2014 17:35

um vomit goes in the toilet.

Where does he throw up? Or is that a bowl on the cooker too? Hmm

FuckOffFerret · 04/10/2014 17:36

Also where did he want you to put it?

notagainffffffffs · 04/10/2014 17:41

Shitbag treating a pregnant woman that way. Well any person that way tbh.

pointythings · 04/10/2014 19:12

Just disgusting, and he's being petty and childish about it. Is he often like this?

Hatespiders · 04/10/2014 19:41

We have 3 cats. One is often sick and another has poo 'accidents' from time to time. My husband is very squeamish, but he has always cleaned up if he's the first to find any in the early morning. He uses kitchen roll, flushes the stuff down the loo then sterilises the floor with antiseptic spray and more paper towel. I've just told him what your H did and he's now on the sofa with his feet kicking in the air, laughing like a drain.
"A plate? On a plate?!! You're kidding!"

partialderivative · 04/10/2014 19:52

What was his reaction to your suggestion that you could have put it into his dad's glass.

If he doesn't see a problem with that, then you may have other issues.

Personally I would not have freaked out as much as many of the other posters have here.
