To ask my husband to do a dump upstairs???

[Jakeyboy1]

Seriously he is driving me round the bend. 3 times a day massive sh!ts in the downstairs loo that stink whole house out. Is it too much to ask he goes upstairs with a window open?
I should add our downstairs loo is in the middle of the house so it seeps everywhere, he is also on medication that makes it smell even worse than normal. I am physically heaving. He thinks I am over reacting but after mentioning it everyday for months I have had enough!

Don't UK bathrooms have extractor fans?

John In my experience, only if there's no natural external ventilation.

Count yourself lucky, OP.

We only have one lav, it's downstairs and opens directly into the kitchen

My husband did a smelly shit in our ensuite 10 mins before bed last week. I wish he HAD used the downstairs loo.

I used to house share with 4 boys and the ALL used to do this. They had a bathroom on their floor so in the end I made them agree to taking a dump in their own bathroom (and locking the window a jar so they had to ventilate it)
I feel your pain. Ugh

Get an essential oil (something cheap - think lavender or tea tree, not rose) and tell him to shake the bottle in the loo before he goes: A few drops will come out as they're designed as dropper bottles. Once he's done and flushed, a couple of drops in the basin after handwashing, and job's a goodun.

A bottle of something like grapefruit will cost five ish quid, and last months.

Is his name Kevin and is he a roofer?!

(Tempted not to explain the random question... We had a builder matching this description who without fail, every day he was on the job, he was doing his jobs in my downstairs loo, right next to my study where I work from home. The stench was unreal, proper eye watering, gag inducing stuff that permeated the whole downstairs).

Meh when you or your ds need a crap do you have to trot off to Asda too?

My DH is very respectful in this dept. In the evening our DS objects vocally to any poo because the loo is outside his bedroom door and he doesn't like to sleep with the door closed. We have an en suite but that's on my side of the bed, so for the same reason I don't want him pooing there either

So while I am putting DS to bed, DH will pop to the shops for a few bits and a shit! God bless him and 24hr Asda

This had to be a joke.

It will be shocking, and certainly undignified, but this worked for me and I never had this issue again. I made certain that the door would not lock and then waited. It took a few hours but he finally descended the stairs with the Sun in his hand for another leisurely 1/2 hour on the loo gassing up the whole house as if it was Syria and he was Bashar Assad. I swear, I just had no choice! Well, I let him get well settled in to his stink-nest before I burst in with a high-pitched scream and sprayed him right in the eyes with air freshener. Although it was not funny, I did have quite a laugh when I ran out and sat down in the kitchen afterwards. I had never seen the man so shaken up and he screamed like a small child after I burst in. Although we never spoke about it he has never gone potty downstairs again and he seems to have a new-found respect for me and is always a bit weary now when he comes around. Do I feel bad? Yes, but to put it bluntly- it worked.

3 times a day can be normal. It is normal for poo to smell. I couldn't stand being told when/where to shit in my own fucking house.

Get a box of matches, ask him to use them. As for the man shitting in asda? Words fail me

user that reference to Syria is crass to say the least. And surely the story is a (poor) joke?

And to the poster who makes her DH go to the Asda for a shit, what the fuck?

My hubby can be lethal too. Drives me mad. Stinks out downstairs and has to be reminded to "flush and brush."
