WIBU to do it again?

DH has has a hell of a day. An “easy” plumbing DIY job went wrong and it took him hours instead of 20 minutes. He still managed to get a load of other stuff done and last on his list was to steam mop the floors. (Just to clarify, I had my own to do list so have been busy myself, in case anyone suggests I’m taking the piss)

I kind of thought the floor wasn’t looking as clean as I expected but assumed maybe they weren’t as bad as I thought. But judging by the state of my bare feet, the floor is still quite dirty. I think he might have used the mop on the light dust setting instead of the scrub setting.

I really want to do it again tonight. DD crawls often as her disability means she can’t walk much. But after the day he’s had it might feel like a slap in the face in a “you did it wrong” way, straw breaking the camel’s back.

WIBU to do it again? Is there a way to do it without it kicking him when he’s down? I would usually just say “I think there might have been a problem here” but not sure that will work. Even as I type I’m thinking 🤔 could I do that, but it could go either way.

Seriously..?

😂😂😂

Just take the mop out and do it.

Why should he be upset about it?

He may not have had time to do the mopping if he was very busy.

Just leave it until he's at work tomorrow otherwise WW3 will erupt

@frazzledasarock. He did do it, I saw him do it. Just perhaps on the wrong setting. He’d be upset for the reasons I mentioned. If you’ve had a shit day and someone comes along and says “that th8ng you did was shit” you wouldn’t be upset?

@Lallybroch He’s home before me in the evenings. But, I might be able to do it in the morning before work. Hadn’t thought of that as I’m usually tight for time in the mornings but I could try and squeeze it in. Good thinking, thanks!

I wouldn’t be upset honestly. And I don’t think doc would be upset in similar circumstances, I’d just say floor is grubbier than usual thought I’d give it a quick clean again.

I actually can’t imagine either DP or I being upset about it. Wouldn’t be happy to be told to re-do it but if DP wanted to he could.

Sorry, it seems mean to do it again. He’s had a shit day, he’s done his best. Let it go. Just appreciate you have an other half that is willing to pull his weight. Reading on here so many if them arnt

Yabbers · 06/01/2019 23:26

@frazzledasarock that would be our usual circumstance. It’s just he’s had such a shit day ☹️

@6triesbuttingout. I do, I really do appreciate it. He’s an absolute treasure. But the floor is so manky 😂

Could you “accidentally” spill something that would require mopping up?

Justkeeepsmiling · 06/01/2019 23:29

Could you "spill a drink" so have to mop if up?

Justkeeepsmiling · 06/01/2019 23:30
