To make drunk husband sleep with his sick?

rubyred84 · 18/11/2017 03:22

Dh has come home drunk from a works do. I could hear him banging about downstairs, then all goes quiet, then I hear him being sick. 5 mins later he appears in our room saying he's "messed up bad" and has been sick on our new £300 rug. I don't know what he's been drinking, but it literally smells like shit. I'm 10 weeks pregnant which doesn't help. So I have hoofed the rug into our snug room, and made him sleep in there on the sofa. I'm hoping this keeps the smell out of the rest of the house. I have two under 2 who will be up in under 3 hours, and I can't take them down to that smell. And I just can't stomach cleaning it (I was heaving the whole time I was moving said rug). Plus, a massive part of me thinks why the fuck should I have to.

YANBU!

Getting so pissed you throw up is a bit juvenile, being so pissed you don't make it to the toilet is positively childish.

TidyDancer · 18/11/2017 08:50

I agree you shouldn’t clean everything up but I also agree that some posters are being too harsh. Unless this is a regular occurrence and he’s generally a dick, there is no need for you to be a dick in return and crash about the house and encourage the kids to make as much noise as possible.

Candlelight234 · 18/11/2017 08:55

Yep with everyone else, do not clean it. That's his job today, to be honest I'd get out of the house with the kids until he's done it, and completely leave him to sort it.

JonSnowsWife · 18/11/2017 08:58

So the kids are meant to tread on eggshells because daddy needs to sleep his drink off? Sod that for a game of soldiers.

To be fair, they are tiny children, they won't need much encouragement in making general noise that children make.

Got that pissed he's thrown up and potentially ruined a £300 rug, but it's okay because it's a one off? Confused

OP. Make sure you show DH where the bicarbonate of soda is. It's the only thing that will neutralise the smell.

We have found (from toddler vomiting incidents) that the pink Vanish carpet foam is pretty good at removing the vomit smell < Envy >

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY

diddl · 18/11/2017 09:24

Of course you shouldn't clean it.

Can't believe anyone thinks that if it's just a one off it's OK!

JonSnowsWife · 18/11/2017 09:39

diddl it's amazing isn't it? Vommed all over a brand new rug, made his pg wife ill who's still got to look after the other DCs today but he should be given a break if it's a one off... Hmm

I hope the OP sods off out for the day with the DCs and she comes home to a clean rug, house and an apologetic DH.

diddl · 18/11/2017 09:42

In the time he went upstairs to wake OP he could have chucked the rug outside if nothing else!

Well, it'll probably be ruined after a day of sick festering on it.

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 18/11/2017 09:48

Is he up yet?!

RedBlackberries · 18/11/2017 09:51

Of course you shouldn't clear it up. Nothing like scrubbing your own vomit to shame you after a night in the piss Grin

BarbarianMum · 18/11/2017 09:53

I think putting the rug in the room he's sleeping in is not on actually. I'd have turfed it out the back door. Definitely left it for him to sort out.

TheHobbitMum · 18/11/2017 09:57

Unless it's not a one off I wouldn't be furious like some posters, I wouldn't clean the rug though that is on him! It should've been out outside last night though, that room is going to reek

JonSnowsWife · 18/11/2017 09:58

I think putting the rug in the room he's sleeping in is not on actually

Why? If he was on his own and thrown up everywhere, that's exactly what he'd be doing, sleeping with it.

Mittens1969 · 18/11/2017 09:58

Definitely don’t clean it up after him. He’s supposed to be a grown man, not a teenager. Hmm

BarbarianMum · 18/11/2017 10:01

No he wouldn't JonSnow he'd likely have left it lying and gone to bed. Deliberately moving it to the room you're making him sleep in is fairly nasty behaviour imo. Can't imagine it going down well if the roles were reversed.

MoistCantaloupe · 18/11/2017 10:06

I agree with you @BarbarianMum.

Of course you shouldn't clean it up - BUT, I think you are being mean making him sleep in the room with it. I can't imagine doing that to DH. Yeah, he obviously fucked up and deserves to be told he is an idiot, replace the rug/clean the rug, but to make him sleep in a room with it is a bit much.

Mishappening · 18/11/2017 10:06

Indeed - go out and leave him to it. Tell him you expect the house to be pristine when you get back. What an idiot!

You are not the housekeeper.

What is the point of getting so pissed that you make yourself ill? And paying for the privilege. I would move heaven and earth not to be sick - I just hate it.

TidyDancer · 18/11/2017 10:14

I clearly never said the kids should tread on eggshells.

MoistCantaloupe · 18/11/2017 10:18

I hate to break it to you, but people do this. I know it's hard to tell from this thread as it appears to be on par with cheating or fraud, but most people I know have done this in their lifetime. And they actually don't mean to do it either. Terrible I know!

Philldient · 18/11/2017 10:20

I would have wrapped him up in it

Member984815 · 18/11/2017 10:25

I'd clean it up but I'm not pregnant , I imagine the smell is amplified in a bad way for you .

JonSnowsWife · 18/11/2017 10:35

No just that people shouldn't 'encourage' OP to let her DCs make noise. They are two under two. I just pointed out that they're essentially still babies and will make noise with or without encouragement from OP.

MrsMoastyToasty · 18/11/2017 10:41

Get the DCs up extra early and get them playing on really loud toys, whack on your favourite music and start frying a full English breakfast.
But then I'm an evil cow...

JonSnowsWife · 18/11/2017 11:16

Deliberately moving it to the room you're making him sleep in is fairly nasty behaviour imo.

As opposed to waking your pregnant wife up and telling her you're paralytic? Okay.
